I foresee a long road ahead - October (3305)

This 30+LY jump capability is pretty sweet and it's not all done yet.I've seen a build for an 84+LY Anaconda albeit totally stripped down and as such, not really the 'do it all' configuration I want mine to be ..... but 50+LY would be nice with my configuration is my thinking.
With this in mind, I've set about reviewing the build configurations.
Step 1 is to determine the optimum standard modules AND associated engineering upgrades & experimental effects.
See below for a work in progress summary of current thinking!
Step 2 is to evaluate what Guardian technology can further improve performance.
I know nuttin about Guardian tech at all by the way so I've got some study there to do.
And guess what ....there is a step 0 also which I forgot .... to build up my materials stocks!
I'm out of Nickel and already low on a number of other mats. So there is some ground prospecting, signal source investigation and maybe a little bit of mission running in my future.
A lot more to follow.
S!
Summary: "D" Class used unless no weight impact (i.e. none for Refinery so used "A"). FSD still is "A" for performance reasons. )
Engineering is aimed at performance of course but with the lightweight modification where possible.
Looks like ~44.8LY (empty) jump range and a ~55% resting heat signature.
* this is using Coriolis.io and running one 'random' spin to set the result. So your mileage may vary! e.g. running additional cycles of experimental on the Sensors might yield a better mass saving and thus increase jump range.
