META DISCUSSION What builds an ships benefit most of the new class 3/4/6 double Engineered FSD ?

I know my conda wil be happy with the new size 6 double engineered (very) long range FSD, but I wonder what ships would benefit most of the size 3 and 4 ?
I plan to equip my imperial courrier with the size 3, and will for sure unlock the size 5 for my BDX (human tech brokers right ?) but I still don't see where the size 4 would shine most ?

PS : can they be upgraded with mass manager at an engineer ?

Lighter ships benefit more than heavy builds, so that does point me towards the explorers. Like you it'll be 3A on the Courier I used for DW2 (46ly range as-is, hopefully this would get it over 50ly), 6A on the Jumpaconda. 4A is the tricky one, I figure it won't get much benefit for the heavy combat-builds (FDL & Mamba), so I'll maybe stick it on the Asp Scout I use for scavenging... :unsure: (Yes, I quite like the AspS. Fite me.)

EDIT: And yes, if they're the same as the previous 5A special, you can throw Mass Manager on them.

Probably get about 20-25 ly out of the mamba and fdl builds I use for pvp but even then the fsd is rubbish as the moment your shields drop that fsd would be nuked due to extremely low integrity

Put double-braced on it instead mass manager and it will have more integrity than the regular increased range + mass manager.
Plus the range and most important, the fast boot

Hum, that is actually the kind of take/tech I was looking for. It actually bring something new and better over an exploration build (because BDX and jumpaconda fullfill these roles already).
The fast boot seem actually VERY relevant in the PVP context, and the masse manager experimental being just a "win more" choice I will try that option.

Question : can you remove the experimental on those modules without loosing the double engineering ? (Just swap it to a new experimental ? Right ?)

Yes, the size 5 FSD V1 was not locked - one can change the experimental effect at will
Hope it will be the same for the new FSD sizes
