Warp Fuel (grind!)

[Abelardo]

Hi!, I'm actually about my 4th or 5th system or so... just helped a frighter against 5 pirates and they gave it to me, so I'm trying to "base" build it.
My problem is that now I have to craft warp cells for both, my ship AND the frighter...

Is it the ONLY way to do it via craft -> craft -> craft -> craft?, or is there any shorter way to get warp cells?. O.O

Kinda tedious to do it everytime and now everytime x2 =P.

I suggest only make warp cells for your freighter. It uses them more efficently, one warp cell is enough for five systems, while one for your ship is only enough for one jump.

Warp cells are not required for the freighter. You can warp with your ship to whatever system, and call your freighter in for free (be far enough away from planets or space stations; aka pulse jump for about 2 seconds into empty space). Press X, call freighter is on that menu.

However, warping normally with the freighter in the cockpit does use warp cells.

I just buy the requierements on space station. 2k of each cost about 50k only depending on economy. And i can craft up to like 30war cells.

Argh!, I never find antimatter and the "green tube thingy" in the stations!. O.O

Don't do this. Warping in your freighter menu is better. As I said earlier, one cell in a freigther can get you to five systems while one warp cell in a starship can only get you one system. It's cheaper and more efficent to use your freighter to warp.

Hyperdrive Module Upgrades are a thing, usually available in every space station. They cost nanites and should be one of the first module upgrades you buy, next to the scanner upgrades.


S-rank provides +200LY warp range, and double warp cell efficiency, the latter increasing the amount of charge a single warp cells grant.s

The grind is only illusionary. You can stack several warp cells into a single inventory space, meanwhile they are produced from fairly basic materials. When you craft, you can use A and D to adjust the quantity of things to make at a time.

Once you have traveled more, and hit each space station for a suit upgrade (tube behind the merchant) you can start assigning slots to your suit's cargo storage. These hold double the quantity of normal suit slots so are useful for storing things like chromic metal or other manufactured materials. This allows you to more easily make a dozen or so warp cells at once without most of your main inventory being filled with materials.

If you set your terrain tool to the smaller radius (mouse wheel) you will get more much more ore from a source, but at the cost of time and ferrite.

But were talking about someone who doesn't have their hands on this tech, so Freighter jump is faster.

Well, ♥♥♥♥! I feel stupid now!
