Elite: Dangerous PvE - Mobius

The time has come.

I am going to refit my trusty T6 for exploration and head out into the darkness, perhaps never to return. I am using the T6, as it's what I have and has room for the kit I will need, thought I would post here and see if any of you could offer me some valuable advice, tips and feedback.

Do you have any T6 fits to share with me, essential kit?

Feel free to shower me with wisdom before I leave.

I'd love to be more help, but I've yet to do much explo myself. so... err.. I'm commenting to subscribe for the more informative responses. Hehe.

Lemme see what I had on my exploration ship.

Fuel Scoop
Advanced Discovery Scanner
Detailed Surface Scanner
SRV
Mining Laser
Heat Sink Launcher
Auto Field-Maintenance Unit
Towel
Tea
Biscuits

I recommend packing a lot of movies, series etc.
And don't forget the porn, your gonna want that in a few weeks

And of course a still, and a few tons of liquor.

Pretty much this

2 AFMUs so you can use either to repair each other if need be.

Someone on the FB group posted a pic, and they had a whole slew of heatsinks in a firegroup, most of them disabled? What was that all about?

Theres a quick thrown together build if money isnt an issue.
Surprised to see that the T6 actually has a decent base jump range.. Who'd a thunk it

Used to escape suns if you get too close. You only need one at a time but they only carry 2 shots per launcher, so multiple launchers are needed and you just switch between them as they run out of ammo (I cant remember if you can restock them using mats)

As for tips, I'm no seasoned explorer, I've been to Sagitarius A* before.

1) look where you are jumping to, there are some bad bad stars out there
2) throttle down before or just as you've entered the system
3) different planets make different sounds, there are animals sounds on earth-likes for instance
4) set a target, it helped me enormously to know where I was heading
6) binary or multiple stars on entry require new pants
7) enjoy yourself, it's not a race
8) mind your fuel
9) scoop at every scoopable stars, but mind your fuel
10) the fuel rats are just a call away

5? there is no 5!

Ah ha! That would indeed explain it. Funky.
