Max FSD Range of a Python laden with level 5 Engineer upgrade?

[LocoScratch]

Greetings Commanders,

i decided to craft the level 5 fsd range upgrade at Farseer to max out the fsd range of my Python.

But how high is the maxed out fsd range of a Python with the level 5 upgrade when fully laden with 160 tons of cargo. Is it worth it?

I have chosen the python because of its max cargo. And the ship can land on medium pads. And you can defend yourself.

It depends also on the weight of your core systems.

This is my current Python build. I can't answer your question how good the grade 5 FSD range will work, but the website is a good indicator for jump distances at current loadouts, in case you'd find it useful. The website doesn't feature the engineer upgrades though.

Yeah i know this site, but i am interested in the maxed out fsd distance by engineer updates.

But thanks anyways. Would be cool when the site would offer the upgraded data for the updates sometimes in the future.

best possible outcome on an explorer build was about +23 percent, from what i've read.

I don't know how much better it would be with a cargo variant. might be only 3 or 4 Ly extra. who knows?

+45% on the rank five recipe.

Jesus seriously?

I might have to get that done on my FDL... Might even be convinced to stop flying the Vulture then :p

And my conda... That would give me roughly 45Ly without FSD injections (I don't run a barebones exploration build, current max jump is about 33Ly)...

What are the downsides to it? More power and fuel usage obviously, probably higher heat output... Anything else?

[brooklyncontrivance]

I don't have the recipe in front of me, but on the rank 5 recipes they usually actually improve several other areas besides the one the recipe is for. Short version, there really isn't a downside other than the hassle of ranking up the engineer and farming the materials.

Ones I've seen also have lower integrity.

So interesting choice for fighters lol

[funkynutz]

TBH I don't think my FSD has ever been targetted... Thrusters, power plant, life support sure... but not FSD...

[raymazoida]

Aye mine neither....but ofc depends if say op wants to fly open for say community goals etc

Can't find the thread where I found this but its super useful. If you know who created it please message me and I will post credit. It will figure out the exact potential upgrade amount for fsd engineers. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/18723082/SITES/FsdModCalculator.html

this is my current python loadout

she currently has a rank 4 fsd range upgrade which gave me an optimised mass of 38.5% and increased the mass by 34.1% (adding 6.82 tonnes to the fsd)

my current fully laden jump range is 22.23 light years so a 6 light year difference due to the mod :D

also can be increased further if i didnt keep forgetting to find a 5A shield generator that has 12 tonnes less mass
