Longshanks3054Hi Guys
I understand that EDDB is no longer working, so my question is how do I find stations that sells Guardian models etc?

mant thanks

If you mean guardian fighters (SLF), no tool had and has them, because they are not a part of the outfitting data provided by the game. Otherwise the stations selling guardian modules can be found in the outfitting search.

Talon AvexI want to get into something with a better jump range and has more options. I've been looking at the Orca, Phantom and the Clipper as possible upgrades.


If you are looking for the best jump range, your choice is not that big ASP Explorer, Krait Phantom and Anaconda. Personally, the Krait is the best.


If I go with the medium class ship, the Krait is the ship that seems to be the natural choice for my budget. The Clipper is in the running due to the price and the size seven optional module. The Orca is due to its open slots and modules.

I'll go back and take a second look at the Asp Explorer. I know there are several builds out there for it. It seemed a tad cramped when I owned one, but then again...I was new in the game and really wasn't using it for its main purpose.

The main reason I'm tending to favor a medium ship is the ability to find a landing spot. I know I have the large-class Clipper listed as an option and that is the budget. I could do some Xeno work or trading in the Imperial section of space to get the funds up (her faction is maxed in Cubeo and surrounding systems). May have to rethink the 'Conda for this, if I can pull in the credits.


Unlocking the FSD booster is a pain but worth it.

If you are interested, you can have a look at the Conda in my profile. Built for some sturdiness and with a fighter onboard. Not perfect yet but already jumping >70 Lys. Want to visit Sgr.A* with her some day.

DBX Explorer is a good pick too if it comes to small ships. "Jolly Jumper" got me close to the 70 Ly mark with very little engineering (but incl. FSD gadget).

Let us know what you end up with. O7

Benefit of the Asp compared to the DBX: you can fit a bigger fuel scoop.

Just a little note. The ability to put in a Class 5 FSD is beneficial as you can "purchase" (with materials) the pre-engineered V1 FSD from Tech Brokers. This adds a little more range and negates the need for engineering the 5A. There were some - past - community goals which allowed for a Class 6 pre-engineered FSD, but sadly those days are gone (and I missed out).

Top 10 only for a free module seems just a little bit harsh as a CG requirement…

No need to participate. They will be available to everyone later in 2-3 weeks. Honestly, I don't bother with it and I'm not going to farm new resources just to see what's inside of maelstrom.

With a top 10 requirement, I wouldn’t bother participating anyway.

But I was originally planning to for the module since I’m one of the few fools people who isn’t just interested in using the Thargoids as a figurative punching bag, and I have this suspicion we’re going to need to blow stuff up to obtain it like the caustic sink.

(And even if we don’t I don’t have the sink launcher anyway.)

I'm roughly half way to the galactic centre close to the neutron highway - anyone know of a fleet carrier somewhere along the way, or a good place to look? I need to make some urgent repairs after being rear-ended by a high gravity planet.

Check this spreadsheet. It contains all the current locations of DSSA carriers and which region they are located in. If you’re on the way to Colonia, you’re likely better off seeing which of the Colonia Bridge megaships is closest. Ignore the origin system, I just grabbed a direct link after doing the search myself.

Well technically you do not have to blow anything up to obtain the materials for the caustic sink unlock — if you get close enough to a caustic generator, it will blow up on its own

Funny, but I already know how they work well enough that I can’t really claim accident unless I set one off by boosting because an interceptor that was not looking angry suddenly goes and starts shooting.

NPCs need to go back to pilot school and stop smacking into planets like mosquitoes into a bug zapper.

800+LY from any inhabited system and surface scans of landable planets in every system have multiple distress beacons or wreckage. I remember a time when finding something on the surface of a planet was exciting. Now it is, "Oh, look. More idiots flying into a big space rocks and cluttering up my navigation window with useless signal sources."
