Is that a time gated opportunity or will I be able to get the materials later?
Scavenging Dead Titans for Drives and Loot

You can indeed do that for normal FSDs but the SCO FSDs are different: they will ONLY work in the same-size slot.
That's probably as clear as mud so: you can install a normal (non-SCO) class 5 FSD (on indeed class 2, 3, 4) in an Anaconda, but the only SCO drives you can install are class 6 because... reasons.
This looks like it will just stay available. The debris fields of the first few dead titans are in place for a whole while now and I don't think the wonderdrive will go anywhere.
I am under the impression, Frontier wants us all to get around faster.
One more question about having the FSD requirement. Can I turn in the mats in ship A and use them to get the upgraded FSD for ship B?
you purchase the module with these mats and then you receive the modules in storage, so you can transfer it to another ship.
If we are talking a SCO FSD then that will not work as we can’t fit undersized SCO drives to our ships.
But I too believe the drive will go to storage when bought.
Bought wonderdrives definitely go to storage, and the broker will lie about it, and tell you it's an unlock and available in outfitting. It isn't. It's a one-item unlock and you'll find it in the module storage on that station. You can transfer it to anywhere you are though.
Same here. i like this mini game
Sometimes I do as well, but last night I tried 3 times to pick up something in my Anaconda (after blowing up its previous owner) and it just bounced off my ship each time, despite being lined up every bit as well as usual. I don't remember this happening before but at that point I just launched my limpets...Same here. i like this mini game
Anaconda other large ships with the hatch set near the middle or back the ship aren't good for manual retrieval. There's a lot going on underneath. That said, did you try first to retract your weapons?

LOLSpotted the error.
Ummm, not sure. I normally do, but not always. It hadn't ever occurred to me that the weapons might be an issue for scooping; I normally retract them to prevent the gun sights getting in the way (and to prevent accidentally shooting stuff
).I must now try using the camera suite to see if my weapons block the scoop - I suppose (since you're asking!) that indeed they do...
At least one does, you get the same issue with the Python mk1.LOL

A favourite ship to scoop with is the Chieftain.
Least favourites include the Saud Kruger range where the light from the hollow projector makes the scoop screen almost unusable.
Yes, that has bugged the hell out of me on the Dolphin. It's one of the many "don't they play their own game?!" things...
I was wondering about that but got lazy typing on my phone
Hmmm I didn’t look to see if it was stored. Sounds good you are right! Cheers

Thanks. Sounds like it shouldn't make a difference though since the drives go in storage and not on your ship.
It'll take me a couple more days to complete stuffing my eng mats full, then off to the scavenger hunt!
Coming back to this for a moment, if we assume that Cocijo did indeed find something which the Thargoids were/are after but was not able to retrieve it (which I don't think the Thargoids expected to achieve with what they were willing to provide to the task), this does make perfect sense. They didn't have this certainty with the other destroyed Titans, which were destroyed at the edges of the Bubble and could have located something, or the thing, of value, so they still have an Interceptor searching around the wreck but making no attempts to engage humans unless provoked, or otherwise recover any actual salvage because that is not what they are interested in, and a couple token Scythes to pick up pods which survived the explosion (or take them from human search and rescue vessels).
But Cocijo doesn't need this presence because they know it didn't recover anything of value and presumably didn't because of its expected destruction, at least more expected than that of the others, but only found it.
What the implications or consequences of this for the future are, well, we'll just have to find out... probably when the Thargoids return only, since humans insist on blasting away at the problem repeatedly and then wonder why they can't find anything out from its shredded remains.
I'm running both together and it's working. They haven't annihilated each other and my ship with me in it ...yet
I have the titan drive component, my bottleneck is getting 16 DATAMINED WAKE EXCEPTIONS
What are your best ways of obtaining lots of these? (I assume they're rare enough during wake-scanning that that's a poor way to get them in this kind of quantity)
I initially got enough for a drive from evacuating refugees from Sol during the war, but now I need more because I am greedy and want more drives for my other ships
Datamined Wake Exceptions are sometimes (but rarely) a payment for passenger missions, so I'm currently hopping between stations looking for the right mission, but if you know a better way to find these puppies, please share!
