Reloading Heat Sink Launcher?!

[Schuetze_Klaus]

Hello,
can i reload my HSL's with Materials like i can reload my Multiguns?! I want to go on a long Exploration Trip so i wont be able to Dock somewhere...

[Fork_Q2]

Sadly no. You can't create more heat sink launcher ammo, you'll have to restock at a dock. Same with chaff & SCBs.

I honestly no longer explore with HSLs, just put the throttle down after each jump, and you won't fly into a star.

nope

[Schuetze_Klaus]

hm okay, i think i do what Fork recommendet. =)

[Schuetze_Klaus]

Maybe practice for a bit before going right into the black?

Heat sinks are for sissies. Real explorers head out into the black with only 2% hull left for the extra thrill :)

No point in having HSL during exploration, maybe unless you found a specific planet that's within fuelscoop radius.

Ive now completed my first 1000LY without any Issues. I think im good without the HSL's... Would you alwasy explore with Shild Generator?! Im thinking to sell my Shilds next time i do a long Trip...

I'd personally bring along the smallest sized shields at grade D. If you want to ride your SRV on distant planets, it makes landing safer. Gives me a peace of mind when heading back to the bubble too, in case I get interdicted (never happened yet, but it could).

Just turn them off when you're bouncing from system to system away from the bubble.

Shields only if you plan to land to use an SRV. If you don't land anywhere then a shield is completely useless. But for landing especially on high G worlds it can safe your ass or simply avoid hull damage if you don't land perfectly.

I sometimes bring 1 engineered launcher with extra ammo mod (4 instead of 3) but I don't think I've ever used it.

[Schuetze_Klaus]

i might have to land one day. maybe to search for materials if my field repair thingy runs out of "ammo".
Im using this Build right now: https://coriolis.edcd.io/outfit/asp?code=A0p0tdFfliddsnf5------0202--3c0s432i0i2fv6.AwRj4jRZtYg%3D.Aw18WQ%3D%3D..EweloBhBmSQUwIYHMA28QgIwV0A%3D

small d rated shield should be enough. just watch the high G planets.

That's exactly what my AspX loadout was (except no heat sinks) pre 2.3. :) Now I switched to the DBX though because of it's higher jump range.
