If so, what's recommended for the best jump range?

BurstarAmata LireinED: O to release on PC on May 19th...
Sooooo... FDevs believe they can fix all the issues reported during the Alpha in less then a month? Ambitious...
Lul, they still have 7 year old bugs from the original game. I really doubt fixing all the issues before release is their game plan. It's more like "management said this date, so they get what they get".
Let's just be grateful that the management isn't as vicious as one behind CDPR. Seriously, over here in Poland the management and employers are just leeches who won't back from threatening workers. If you can be easily fired in a way you might not find a job within the degree just because law allows so, then something isn't really right. And that hasn't been touched for decades given how much legal (yes, I mean it, legal) issues the businessmen lobby could bring to any ruling party given how castled the businesses are in their regulations, autonomy and rights.

Deep charge is garbage. It trades a tiny increase in jump range for a huge decrease in total range. For example, my Courier:
| Unladen | Jump Range | Total Range |
| Mass Manager | 40.16 | 197.74 |
| Deep Charge | 40.32 | 182.58 |

Experimentals do not lower the grade like they once did. Also if you put an experimental on a lower grade, you can continue to G5 and the experimental will remain.

I personally use Mass Manager on every ship since I have other modules using up enough power already and I prefer to minimize scooping as well.

Does that experimental effect only have to be applied once, per module? Or is it a kind of roll-the-dice thing until you get what you want, or the full effect?

Once per module and you always get full experimental effect.

XGN BlazeShadowWhats the cargo potential of a imperial cutter?
Depends on what you're willing to lose for it. With a class 8 shield I sit at 536 (IIRC, literally just jumped out of it a minute ago) and without the shield stacked full of cargo slots you are looking around 750 give or take
** just looked and 784* (with SC assist and Dock Comp) + a few if you want to ditch the docking computer and SC assist

are you talking about an FSD from a tech broker? If so I have not tried that but I thought it was already fully engineered (but not sure about the experimental effect) . I'm going to try when I get home!

Knightwolf 1785So how bad is the CG at the moment? I'm hoping it's going well and at least slightly fun.
I think the reward is something a lot of CMDRs may have unlocked already... and the module on offer seems not to be anything special as you can't eng'r Guardian stuff... so no double eng'g.
