Congratulations to Jan Luc and Just Some Guy too, I haven't kept up with the forum lately.

Thank you, and keeping up with this thread in particular sometimes takes a bit of effort.

Upgraded FSD Range to Level 3, and all Shield Boosters to Level 1, either strength or resistance.
Can now jump >30ly, >20ly fully laden (~450t), and shields are boosted +111% with +7.5 resistance.
Not much compared to many here, but I'll take anything I can get!

Currently trying to get up to Level 4 (around 60%), so it looks like I've got some exploration to do.

Just as a heads up. With level 4 and above upgrades there seem to be a lot of diminishing returns going on.
I rolled a upper mid range lvl fsd increase and its about 1ly worse than my lvl 4.

I recommend stowing your old mod if you can in another ship or at least bring enough for at least three rolls.

I personally have the polonium and the wakes. But the freaking chemical manipulators turns out to be rarer than unicorn nut juice.

Rule 1: Pillage. Then burn.
Rule 2: No such thing as overkill, as long as there are reloads.

Chemical manipulators are pretty easy to find. Kill T9s in an anarchy system. I found plenty at the nav beacon.

Polonium, on the other hand... I've spent 10 hours to find 2 rocks of the stuff.

I'm already getting nearly 25% boost out of my Level 3 Upgraded 6A Frameshift Drive. It's over 2,200 optimal mass, originally 1,800. Fuel consumption is about the same, although it is now over 50t, originally 40t. But I'm now really wondering how much more than I can get.

Yeah, I already did 2 rolls for the first level, although I only had enough for 1 roll on the 2nd and 3rd. I'm not sure I got this whole engineers thing down correctly.

E.g., if I store the Level 3, do I have to re-do the Level 1-3, or can I skip right to Level 4?

As far as storing in another ship, I think the cheapest ship capable of a Class 6 is a Type 9. Too rich for my blood right now, as I'm worth maybe 200M total. I assume one just sells it, swaps ships, and then buys back within a few minutes? Or is there another way?

BTW, I used "throw away" rolls for FSD Shielding to unlock higher levels, although it's not doing much for me for Level 4 -- e.g., only 1-4% per roll.

I actually have a pair now. Any time I see a debris field (Emissions w/Threat 0), I stop. That's how I got many things.

I just need to get more Yttrium. I only found 1 on Deciat 7b.

I actually tried not to just look up where things where, and after 16 hours of searching various icy and metal rich planets, finally hit the Internet. Deciat 7b turned out to be key. I heard Deciat 1 is the place to find Polonium.

after a while of not being able to get on due to internet issues, I am on my way back from ceos to get my conda. Hopefully I haven't fallen too far out of skill with docking the darn thing.

As long as you keep it under 100m/s, it doesn't matter. Scrape, bump, ram away. ;)
