Python Robigo Build
Just bought the python and I'm looking to try and get the best jump range for robigo passenger missions, I don't care at all about combat or anything else, a purely robigo build for the python!

Robigo to Sirius Atmospherics you mean? They're so close together I wouldn't worry about jump range. Just A-rate your FSD and you'll be fine. Fit all your optionals with passenger cabins. For class 3 and above, fit the highest quality cabin that has at least 8 seats (so class 3 and 4 should be economy, class 5 should be business, class 6 should be first class).

See, the issue is I'm not sure I get the A rate I can jump 30 ly and rich now with the B rate I can only do 13

I just started playing like a week ago and im just doing it with Economy Cabins and a class 3 shield. My understanding is that unless you engineer your FSD you cant really do the 2 jumps they show in guides.

And with 13 ly jump range it takes 11 jumps with way btw

How good are you at speeding without crashing, and do you play in open or solo/private group?

Hmm, okay, guess I'm just gonna buy the A rate and whatever I get is the best I can get

If ur wondering, I have downgraded by shields and hull, and removed all hard points and utilities to cut down on weight

The good news is, FSD range is probably one of the easiest things to engineer to grade 5 in the game. Felicity Farseer is really easy to unlock and the only grade 5 materials you need are Datamined Wake Exceptions, which are easy to farm :)

Well, the issue is, I don't have horizons, and I dont plan on buying it till the winter sale.

You might want some heatsinks for silent running, particularly if you can't dock very quickly.

Ugh I hope he plays in solo/private. Doing Robigo runs in open can be hell even if there aren't trolls about.

Guess I just have to settle with however many jumps the A grade gets me till I can buy the annaconda which can easily get the 30 ly jump without engineering

Lul, I've been doing open, no hell on the five runs I've done so far

Why bother with the wanted passengers? I just board flip until I have a full ship of rich tourists. Worst thing they ever want is for me to pick them up some consumer electronics... but they can suck it up.

Also @AheeeBob, a good tip is, for your first few trips, skip the cash and take the reward that gives you increased reputation. The idea is to get allied with the stations in Robigo as fast as possible, because then they start giving you missions worth WAY more money.

Yep, if been going for the rep so far, thx guys for the help!
