What In The Name Of Zeus

Being a Fleet Admiral in STO, coming over to Elite Dangerous, I thought I would get this sorted out quickly... yeah right... progress is slow, almost like a herd of turtles stampeding through peanut butter...STO made it a lot easier in getting hold of engines, warp drives, shield, etc, but in ED, you gotta work for it, I mean, really work for it, and, obviously, the more time you put into the game, the more you end up getting out, but, only being able to play 2-3 hours a day, makes it a bit frustrating, because it feels like I'm not making any progress, but, that is my problem, not ED
Luckily my Diamondback Explorer's FSD range is at 39LY. That being said, I now have to find an Engineer that can do Powerplant upgrades. Upgrading the FSD, has put a lot of strain on my Powerplant, so I wanted to store some of my Optional Modules, but to be honest, I don't know which ones. Feels like I need them installed, as a matter of fact, wish I could install more... but that's just inexperience talking there... I could probably get away with much less on the Diamondback.
Luckily, well mostly, I'm just exploring and conveying Passengers through the systems. Being interdicted a lot these days, but managing to escape it 8 out of 10 times and the fact that my Combat status is Harmless, sure makes for "oh shit, oh shit, oh shit" session every time some does interdict me.
I understand, in Open Play, anything goes, and when interdicted and getting destroyed, I really can't... well, I can get pissed-off and hope that a the flees of thousand Afghanistan camels infest his ass and that his arms grows to short to scratch , BUT, it won't help... it is part of the game, and so is piracy and so forth, soooooo, at the end of the day, if I wanna run with the big dogs, I should learn to piss like the big dogs, although that is still gonna take some time...
Luckily, who ever the Commanders are who interdicts me, is someone looking for a challenge, cause the times I couldn't escape interdiction, they didn't attack me, and who ever you are Commander(s), I salute you for not handing my ass back to me on a destroyed Diamondback, Orca or Krait platter.
Well, let me stop bumping my gums up and down and start planning tonight's endeavor in finding more Chemical Processors aaaaaaaand... shit... now I can't remember... buuuuuuuut anywho, I'll check what else is needed tonight before I leave Ray Gateway.
