I did that, my first trip back to the bubble I took the neutron hi-way, I didn't like having to repair my ship every 10 to 12 jumps. It was nerve-racking for me being a rookie and all.

I was repairing every two jumps
I remember reading that you can get FSD errors under 79% integrity on your drives and that's about when I got to that point. I had an engineered module reinforcement package.
I misread that same thing (under 80%) as under 96%...
I arrived at the Carbon Star. It looks pretty much like a Y or L type, but it humongous. It's 155 time the suns radius. There a 1.8G moon orbiting around 100ls from it, with a Tourist Beacon and bits of ship from less fortunate explorers.
I found a bit of the ship that needed the Arc tool to open, so I slipped on my Mav suit and cracked it open. I couldn't find a Regulator, so that was a waste of time. Don't know, will never know, what would have happened if I had a spare one kicking about.

There's a round blue thing that when you hover over it you see "E" to Open, then "E" again to take it once its open, or "F" to close.
But only take it if it is glowing, otherwise its useless AFAIK...
OH, if you've ever gotten a regulator it will be on your ship. You can transfer items between your suit and your ship by standing in the BTCoS*...

I haven't got any Ody Mats yet. This is the first time I've donned the two suits.
No, it was empty and giving me the option to put a regulator in it.
If you had done that the evil AI would have awoken and destroyed everything, so it's good you didn't.
OMG, I'm 3/4 of the way through Star Trek Discovery season 2 about the evil AI (Red Angel) that's trying to destroy all life in the galaxy, just finished episode 10 5 minutes ago. What a coincidence.
BTW, I'm afraid to play the game now, I have PTSD
Whew! Narrowly missed the bus on that...
No need. Unlike e.g. FSD or Power Plant, the AFMU doesn't suffer from gradual degradation - it either works (integrity >0%) or it doesn't (integrity = 0%). So, if it should ever fail before your powerplant fails (which you can't repair), you can do a reboot&repair sequence which will bring it up again to a few percent integrity, which is good enough.
Unless you fly a big ship and don't want to keep any slots unfilled. Then the AFMU is slightly better, but also more expensive, than an empty cargo rack.
Personally, I don't subscribe to the two AFMUs in an exploration ship view, unless I've decided to explore in an Anaconda and have nothing better to use the slot for.
AFMU health seems to decay at the same rate or slower than the power plant. You can't repair the power plant with an AFMU, only at a station or carrier. If an AFMU somehow reaches 0% health when the power plant is still healthy, a ship reboot brings it back on 1% and it will function. The answer to running out of ammo is obviously synthesis more, which I've only ever had to do once on a 3A AFMU in a Phantom.
I am opening to changing my mind if I can see a situation where a second AFMU adds value.
On an old explorer (I change ship for every expedition) I had two AFMUs.
After a couple hundred thousand light years I was back in the Bubble, and I hadn't used a single AFMU once: this was before I had a FC, so I didn't have a safe haven in case things went bad, and didn't visit the DSSA.
AFMUs are essential if one plans to use neutron stars extensively, otherwise they are pretty much unneeded (the second one being useless).
Nowadays I keep only one small AFMU, just in case.

I'm mining again to recover FC costs, mats used in synthesis and because I don't have enough credits.
And, sheesh, the price of tritium these days...

Aha! Exactly what I thought.
