Silver TafferI usually go with ‘Reinforced’ for shields, special effects I vary to find what works best - you can easily change the special without further base engineering.



Nah for a chieftain you want a thermal res biweave with 2-3 res augmented boosters.


The question was about Type-9 Defender?(probably type-10) and Silver Traffer is talking about his general preferences.  

Else I agree with you Chieftain is hull or hybrid tank. So, either no shield or fast recovering shield which is bi-weave thermal/fast charge with resistance augmented boosters

so is anyone know when Sirius Atmospherics will send DSSs out or when they will open Universal Cartographics services?

No idea. The delay pisses me off... we're supposed to have increased payouts from Cartography for 2 weeks, yet the days pass by that we can't turn them in. The reward DSS seems incidental though... but I'm still waiting for that too.

I am thinking of this build for my type 10 Defender - Mrs Malaprop... no engineering... but to space truck!

Maybe stacking the same modification twice on a DSS didn't work after all. I noticed some weird effect with my own engineered DSS recently. I was mapping a planet, and there was a disconnect between the mapped percentage and the marked surface, i.e. the game claimed >50% coverage after the first probe hit, but the circle drawn was actually much smaller and did not cover half the planet. I never noticed this before, so it might be related to FDev's ongoing mod stacking shenanigans.

That being said, I dislike the whole idea of unique double engineering rewards, and I will not participate in any of those CGs until this becomes a regular game feature and we can double-engineer our own modules.

"Depending on the tier reached, Sirius Atmospherics will offer higher prices for exploration data starting on the 11th of December 3306."
This is usually announced with a GalNet article for conclusion of the CG.

As for DSS - it is a normal DSS with G5 expanded probe mode which you can do. Item rewards are usually given after Friday Night server time.

My DSS was in outfitting after I turned in the CG just now. +40%...thought it was supposed to be "fully engineered"

Engineering is quite broken as it is. I don't think stacking is a good idea at least without severe downsides

Is it engineered?

The promise was for double the scan area. 40% increase in radius gives a 96% increase in area, so that's close enough...

The promise was for 50% increased radius which is exactly G5-100% https://inara.cz/galaxy-blueprint/177/

If successful, the top 75% of contributors will receive a fully engineered Detailed Surface Scanner with twice the normal probe coverage.

Indeed they didn't say twice the radius.
