What's the farthest possible jump range with engineer's?

An explorer Conda is an empty, hollow shell. Put cargo in it and you kiss the extended jump range goodbye.

Also, you probably don't want to spend that much time looking for Jumponium, just to speed up a trade run.

I doubt if jumponium would speed up a trade run. The route plotter is unaware of it, so you need to keep manually plotting and synthesising the jumponium. The time that takes would probably mean the extended jump isn't worth it.

My AspX explorer build is rated at 53.65, so 107.3 with premium jumponium. My prospecting Eagle has a 30.15 range, and my combat Viper MKIV has a 30.89 range.

If you get blown up a Jaques by a smeghead please don't come in here and post about how ok you are with it like a certain Cutter Pilot did. I have no beef with the guy, but damn, whoever killed him wasted hours and hours of his game time. Combat logging is seen as the most despicable act in this game and that only wastes a couple of mins at most. Blowing up a long distance hauler in the 22 thousand light year range is just criminal imo.

Lol, that's why I switched to solo for the last couple of jumps to Jaques :D

I highly recommend people do that.

Courier seems like a good compromise for a taxi ship in the upcoming changes. Decent jump range in the top tier, lower rebuy, and the fact that you'll be flying it stripped means that you can also build it like a bat-out-of-hell speedster, meaning that you can attempt to run from some interdictions.

I'm certainly considering one for the taxi meta.

Yup - I think the boost speed on my ICourier is 686

No catching that

There are videos of IEagles boosting to >800m/s, but probably without any weapons! Though they might ram you? :)

For sure.

The assumption is that at some point, anything that can catch you probably can't kill you.

Working pretty well so far.

I use mine mostly for wake scanning for Engineer Data needed, It is such a hoot to fly. I'm out in the black right now, but if memory serves it has a top cruise speed of 505m/s and 686 boost.

Who knew that chasing wakes to scan could be so much fun?

It does have really good range as well, I think it's in the 20's with a G3 modded FSD. Not sure what the best jump ranges are for the ICourier, but they should be fine for a long range taxi.
