I'm nearly sure you can fit only ONE fuel tank per ship as for the heat sinks, you have 4 UTILITY MOUNTS on the Type 8.



You can install auxiliary fuel tanks in optional internal slots along with the standard one in Core Internals



I stand corrected, in any case it goes against what I would do to increase performances of my ships, a 6A FUEL SCOOP and 5C FUEL TANK are more than enough to cover ever possibility, the worst I've seen was 3 non-refuelable stars in a row. No issue.



Not "every" possibility. I want to see how fast and far a Type-8 will go if it's full of fuel tanks. The SCO is great but it guzzles fuel very very quickly. One of the AX CZ's this week is almost 400,000ls out and using SCO only gets me less than a quarter of that distance before I get warnings about fuel levels.
I won't be doing this to a Type-8 intending to keep it that way. Just as an experiment and for the laugh really.

I've been Frontier'd, haven't I ?


IIRC the log uplinks show up only when you’re quite close (like 1.5 km or so). Try flying around the megaship while looking at your contacts list. (yeah, another example of silly game mechanics)



You might not see it well, but I'm right in the middle of the cropper. I could go at either end and there was still no uplink in the contacts panel.
