Slingshotting + Jumponium stacking?

[Friedenreich Xante]

Hi CMDRs,

as the title may have already suggested, the question at Hand is what happens if I overcharge my FSD and then inject jumponium.

Agreed that I could just try it out but I figured I could spare one injection if I just asked

Not completely sure, but I think it stacks. Your final boost percentage should be your overcharge boost and the jumponium boost added together.

I tried it once and didn't notice a change. Not sure if it doesn't work or if I just didn't do it right.

I don't think they're stackable.

Thank you for the replies so far

However please don't fault me for preferring the answer from someone who actually knows for sure

They dont stack. You get one or the other (whichever was the last you performed).

Great, thanks for the info! Would have been a pitty to Spill that jumponium for nothing.

Correct, we tested this back in 2.1 beta and the result is whichever is higher. Activate jumponium then FSD boost using NS/WD and it'll just pick the highest %. I seem to remember a video showing 25% jumponium being over-written by 50% white dwarf boost then overwritten by the 100% jumponium.

Otherwise we would have seen a 400Ly + jump by now which is insane. The best i've seen in 2.3 beta is a Conda with ~71 to 72Ly range which goes with +300% jump boost to around 288Ly absolute cap with lightweight modified everything and minimal fuel in the tank. I don't expect anyone will break the 300ly mark without further changes.

I did it yesterday, nuetron star boost then the top fsd boost to give me 94ly off an original 24ly (ish) - does that make sense?
I am assuming the boost is best.

Which is the (roughly, based on your ish) boost from the neutron star, the jumponium did not give you further (You got the best of the two, I thought it was the last you did, but corrected by Alex above).

I did this a couple times on my way back from Sag A*. My (rather heavy) anaconda with an engineered FSD usually has a 30ly jump range. After supercharging at a neutron star and using a high grade FSD boost I was able to make a jump in excess of 121ly. While I didn't do all the math to see how this calculation was made it sure looks like they stack.

Here's a screenshot of my results:

Oh. Neutron star gives +300% more range, so 100% (base range) +300% from neutron star is 400%, which means 4*30ly is 120ly.

The effects don't stack

Interesting. Thanks for the clarification, that will be good to know on my next long distance trip!
