Conductive or advanced RCS Accelerator?

[Astrostars2025]

What's the difference between the two? The conductive one seems to be a direct upgrade over the advanced rcs one. Need one to increase my temporal light cruiser's turn rate. Mk XV epic conductive RCS accelerator (with some impulse susbstem tuning trait) makes it 30 degrees per second (desired turn rate), without it it's only 24.

I'd go with the Fleet console from the Dilithium Mine to gain the armor bonus as well.

Conductive comes from R&D, and can carry one mod which will mimic a standard craftable science (yes, science!) or engineering console. (plus it also has a triggerable effect)

Enhanced is a fleet purchase and can carry one mod which will grant half of the resistances of a Monotanium or a Neutronium Alloy consoles, or a hull HP bonus.

With the identical mod, a Conductive is therefore better than the Enhanced. However, the Conductive is limited to one per ship.

Good thing I only need 1

Oh, forgot to mention - like most R&D items, the Conductive console is resellable via the Exchange, so you may be able to get one there rather than making it yourself.

Also, the Conductive has a much wider variety of mods available.

I should mention, too, there's a similar Science R&D console, the Exotic Particle Field Exciter. It is natively a +Shield Capacity and +Exotic Particle Generator combo, and can carry any of the same mods as the Conductive RCS... but goes in a science slot rather than engineering.

I already had a MK IV conductive accelerator with shield regen (yes, actually helps my survivability) I was just wondering what the difference was with the advanced one
Thanks for the replies, that concludes this thread.
