32LY jump range - Tick! - October (3305)

I popped into Darnielle's Progress on the off chance.All the boards we blank and even on Inara here, there didn't seem to be any meta alloy available so I was kinda worried.
I've been in the Maia system doing a bit of High Wake scanning on the hunt for some eccentric hyperspace trajectories and other similar items. I'd also been to Dav's Hope to search for chemical manipulator and processors.
Having been successful in attaining the above, the last item was the meta alloy and given it is the key to gaining Flicks services, it was the most important.
I landed at Darnielle's ,checked into the market and colour me amazed, there was one unit on sale. 120k+ but as beggars cannot be choosers, it was swiftly purchased. As soon as it was stowed in my cargo, I was off to Deciat.
Having never done engineering before, but having prepared fairly well over the past year or so, I found the overall experiences fairly fast and smooth. I was glad I'd been picking stuff up as I'd travelling around because I was using much of it now. It'd have been a bug-bear to have to go looking for it now all at once.
I was light on manganese having overlooked I was low on it so a detour to a Materials Trader on route sorted that detail.
I choose the Increased Range option for the FSD and added a Thermal Experimental option also.
I was also make aware of another Engineer called Juri Ishmaak who seems to mostly focused on scanners and sensors.
Anyway, DettiBoo 5 jumps 30+ LY now and between upgrades to the standard modules and further engineering, I think this range can be improved without sacrificing the 'do it all' build configuration I hope to maintain.
S!
