You can double your shield capacity with 5D for just 6T more, and you can save 24T by dropping to a 5D distributor and modding it with G3 engine-focused. More survivable and longer jump range too!
What is the longest jump distance you can get on a fully equipped Anaconda?

That is great, wanna share the load out?
With a surface scanner and advanced scanner (because what would be the point otherwise) I was able to calculate 64.11 light years base jump maximum for a fully tweaked out Anaconda.
With a neutron star boost it becomes 256.44 light years maximum jump range.
You would be able to go very slightly higher without scanners, but you wouldn't be able to prove that you went anywhere that way.
My personal best (beta server) is 63.51
Nevermind, just noticed you did reply to this, I'm a moron.
Do you really need all three, on an anaconda? I think once you outfit a ship for combat, other ships might be contenders since they're optimized better.

Nice build, but I only get 23 LY out of a fully equipped battle conda!
It's for a long trip out in the black, you never know whats out there....i'd bring the cat too

My Anaconda has an jump range of 29.19 right now. 1c lightweight bulkheads, 7A power plant (**** overcharged) 6A FSD (***** increased range) light weight life support, 5D hull reinforcement in the military slot... Armed with multi's, bursts and railguns. I have a 2H hanger w/1 SRV + 2 6E cargo slots. and another 5D hull reinforcement package...The utilities are full of engineered shield boosters and chaff. I am curious as to what I would get if I stripped it and put the engineered power plant from my Asp X in it...Always about the weight.

Thing is, there's no way to repair PP or canopy out in the black, so the best weapon is a high top speed and the ability to run like hell. 25KLY from a dock with repair facilities means that you should just avoid the risk. If you spend mass on anything, make it defensive not offensive (so shields, scbs, shield boosters and countermeasures).
If you're going as armed escort for a long-range group, you should probably be in something that's capable vs the current PVP meta. I'm assuming that's still anti-torpedo, heat-efficient, high-thermal output to break through shields?
My explorer conda gets 59.09 to 61.60ly and it's still able to boost.
My Anaconda can jump 32ly, with guns, SRV bays, maxium shields, and boosters, and SLF bay, plus loads of cargo space.
Very comfortable for bubble travel.

Tssk. Fully unequipped is the right way to go
+56.4% optimal mass looks like a pretty good roll, CMDR. How many rolls did you have make?
Did 40 rolls, got to +53.4% optimal mass myself.

About two inches, at minimal map zoom.
Well over 100 rolls, I have a spare Conda FSD at 55.9% as I was switching drives on every roll that got better, I wanted a battle Conda separate from my explorer as I got tired of refitting all the time. I did another 40 rolls after my 56.4% but got nothing close to better.
Wow. I guess if you have the time to spare on rerolling that's epic, but I usually get very close to 50% with 2 or 3 rolls and it seems mad to spend another 100 rolls for just two more LY (or one more LY in the case of my Corvette). Surely the time you save jumping will never compensate the time you spend gathering mats and rerolling that?
Not that I'm not envious or impressed with your 55.6% FSD, but I think I have a 49% and a 52% from half a dozen total rolls on my two big ships and so spent my time/patience on engineering efforts elsewhere. Admittedly my shielded traderconda with boosters and countermeasures only jumps 48LY when empty....

Name checks out.
Too many variables to consider given the general nature of the question. "Fully equipped" can mean a lot of very different things to different CMDRs depending on their personal philosophies. Also, ship's outfits change and a ship's jump range changes with the outfit. A dedicated combat ship will have a vastly different jump range than the very same ship dedicated to passenger hauling.
