A neat way to get your SCO Pre Engineered drives
27 Dec 2024Tannock
When the war finished I looked at a way to get more of these pre engineered drives.I found that picking up the ship I wanted stored at Lee Orbital in Hajangai to have the FSD SCO upgrade then before going to Abraham Lincoln in Sol equip it with a corrosion resistant cargo rack and possibly a wake scanner. Swapping it for my AX combat ship Black Strike when arriving, stocking up with some limpets then heading for Cocijo.
Cocijo may have an annoying caustic cloud presently but no freebooters trying to steal your cargo.
Caustic shards, Thargoid carapaces, wreckage components, propulsion elements, Thargoid organic circuitry, corrosive mechanisms and meta alloys are all for the taking. The big prize is the titan drive components (this is why you need the corrosion resistant cargo rack), once I get one I high tail it back to Abraham Lincoln and swap back to my ship I want to upgrade.
I found the easiest tech broker for me was at Solo Orbiter in Altair. I found that it is ready for purchase but I could not store it there. I have just finished an experimental run and unlocked the FSD Drive but I am going to depart the station and see if I can pick it up in a different ship.
After doing business with the tech broker and readying my ship, I usually head to a famine stricken system with a high population and find a high traffic area to do some wake scanning. I stay until I have at lease 20 datamined wake exceptions before I head back to Lee Orbital to repeat this process.
