Palin Unlock

Hey all!

Question, is 10,000 LY possible without an AMFU kit? I have a DBX that I specifically built to unlock palin (3 engineers left) and to just explore (50 ly jump) but I want to take a cargo rack with me in case I run into anything I want to grab plus a SRV. I'm thinking of passing through the Guardians section on my trip.

Second part of my question is ship integrity. I can't seem to figure out why it goes down the way it does. I can fly around for hours and only lose 2% but other times I can do a 30 minute run and lose 5%. I'm not hitting stuff and I'm avoiding combat with this build. Only thing I can think of is that the orbits contribute to this damage. Should I just build a ASP dedicated to exploration only? The one I have now is basically an old school WW2 tank lol due to all the engineering I've done to it.

Thanks for reading!

Integrity goes down as you travel in supercruise and you jump between systems. It has no effect on anything, unless you get involved in combat and get shot. It's entirely possible to do 10 Kylies without an AFMU provided you are careful and have shields for landing. However do note that if you have cargo on your way back you may get interdicted by NPC pirates.
 
On my last trip I did around 30k lys round trip and didn't take a single point of damage. I've seen people go to Beagle point and back with 100% hull and components. If you're a cautious traveler you won't need them. I think most explorers take them as a "have it and not need it vs need it and not have it" type of thing. Plus if you have the slots, there isn't much else to put in there. If you fly safe I'm sure you'll be fine. :)
