EDDE Suite

o7 cmdrs,

Previously I traveled to Colonia with my anaconda using the neutron high way, then I found the experience was not so optimal. I ended up seeking for fuel scooping frequently. I was thinking if I should bring more fuel tanks, but I know fuel tanks decrease the jump range. So I did some simple estimation that how much fuel should we carry to minimum the total jumps. The result is 64 ton fuel is relative optimal for an anaconda to travel using the neutron highway (i.e. an additional 5c fuel tank). Details are following if interested:

TL;DR:

1. Jump range vs fuel tanks mass relation

My Anaconda has a 78.82ly jump range. Core internals (engineering if specify): 4A power plant, 5D thruster, 6A FSD (G5 increased range, mass manager), 5D life support (G3 light weight), 1D power distributor, 8D sensor (G5 light weight), 5c fuel tank. Optional internal is a 5H guardian FSD booster.

Do they exist? If not, anyone up for making one? Im going to be on ED quite a bit over the next 12 hours if anyone would be interested in forming one. Prefer to stick with Zachary Hudson, but if we were able to get enough people together (for a seperate faction), I would be more than willing to switch

Im at a fuel star. The map said that its a fuel star so I thought I can scoop it. But even when flying close it won't activate. Im low on fuel. Probably one jump left. I logged out to not use fuel in the mean time. What do I do? Also can I see my location somewhere in the main menu so maybe I can find a star one jump away that IS scoopable. Thanks!

Looking at the galaxy map I turned on the trade goods and compared the routes to another system. I painstakingly removed each class of good until I found a route and then finally a good that was moving in the direction I was going (personal weapons).

I searched for personal weapons and they were not available on the exchange. I then went to the system map and clicked on every station that wasn't private and looked for exports - none exported personal weapons. In fact the majority of them listed that as an illegal good. As I understand you cannot buy from black markets (and I tried and no you cant).

What gives? How can the galactic map clearly show an arrow going from point a to point b with good G and then that good is not available for sale anywhere in the system?

Pretty new player here but I gotta say this is just about my new favorite game. I can’t believe the amount of detail and scope within the in game universe, it seems almost unreal... I really don’t understand why it isn’t more popular.
