You cannot obtain class 1 - 2t cargo rack.

I think you still can...
I'm quite sure, I bought some once and I definitely did not do that CG.
Lemme check out real quick...

Don't worry, I got ya' right...
And my memory DID NOT fail.
Professor Palin still sells those freely

Think Palin and Farseer both sell them. From what I read before the 1t and 2t versions (both using a class 1 slot) were the result of a CG - the 2t version being the higher tier reward. So basically ignore the 1E version and go with 1F.

https://elite-dangerous.fandom.com/wiki/Corrosion_Resistant_Cargo_Rack#Unlocking :

"Class 1 modules are exclusively sold at two locations: Abel Laboratory on Arque 4 E and Cinder Dock on Shenve A 6, the workshops of the Engineers Ishmael Palin and Chloe Sedesi, respectively.

Class 4 modules can be unlocked through a Human Technology Broker, and are then available for purchase at any station where a Human Technology Broker is present."

And yes, corrosive cargo goes in there automatically, you don't need to handle it.

ps, Note also: "1E and 1F Corrosion Resistant Cargo Racks were created via an 8-tier Community Goal. Higher-capacity versions of the module were potential rewards in the CG, but only tier 4 was unlocked when the CG concluded. ... Larger 4E Corrosion Resistant Cargo Racks were later added by Beyond Chapter One (3.0). On November 29, 2018, the deleterious effects of selling Thargoid Sensors were removed, allowing Thargoid commodities to be legally sold at station markets and increasing the viability of Corrosion Resistant Cargo Racks as a tool for traders."

Mac4And yes, corrosive cargo goes in there automatically, you don't need to handle it.

To that I will add that if you have more corrosive cargo than your corrosion-resistant racks can hold, you will be getting corrosive damage (i.e. the excess corrosive cargo goes to normal racks).

Also there was a CG that offered class 5 and 6 corrosion-resistant cargo racks as rewards. Those are currently not available anywhere.

A great place to start would be in IMUET system, we are barely hanging on to AMPERE DOCK...is good place to start and sessions usually have about 3-4 guys in them so its fairly easy, as for people who never did AX before, couple of yuotube videos by KATE and you will be on your way to try your first cyclops

Mmm... Okay, visited an AX-combat zone (medium), saw a goid getting destroyed (took a shot in the general direction from Far out and probably did not hit), and survived, first time for everything. This means some rescue and supply mission to contested thargoid areas could become possible for my playing style which avoids rebuys.

Of course I can't guarantee refugees get out safely, but the same is true for relief troops getting near combat zones if there are such missions. In war everything is uncertain, so why not try to experience war as Frontier sees it.

On the way back to life-still-normal worlds got interdicted by thargoids, couldn't escape, but after they hit me with caustic damage, they (I think) saw me trying to escape (they could totally have finished me off) and let me jump out of the system.

Looks like evacuees transport missions require at least room for 8 persons so a poorly reinforced Hauler (two class three passenger cabins) might be the minimum required. And equip the shutdown field neutralizer. (get it from rescue ships (station won't (yet?) sell them) . Moving two of my cheaper passenger ships nearer the Thargoid zone. And one fighter which needs a total renovation of equipment.

The fact that my computer isn't the fanciest gaming rig, probably a counts to the fact I got three game crashes on this trip. Might try to do some rescue missions in solo mode.

If you look for L pads, there are few ground star ports under attack.

All small, that I've seen...but small systems allow the Thargoids to establish operations.

This question has also made me wonder one other thing: What happens when they hit a major system with an Engineer or one of the Power Players? Will they evacuate or be killed, if the system is lost? Something to think about.

HIP 23716 had some ground bases attacked while I was there, the large port of Wakata was still in operation. Several Brasilian Commanders took out at least a couple (likely way more) of thargoids there but I didn't want a rebuy (Hauler) so I sneaked out.

20 hours of jumptime..10,000 tirtium. Carriers from colonia take about 3 days to get home

Colonia shuttle service do it in 15 hours. Try Fleet carrier owners club discord.

P. S. And if you do not need to transfer your ship you can always use stock sidewinder for instant 22000ly jump.
