IndySo, adding Mass Manager worked for you? Or no?
Nope, I couldn't. Saw that button greyed out.

Bainsey7 edit: Also, my query above was my own mistake. I'd gone to Palin and mistaken the drive upgrades for FSD upgrades when I looked earlier. The drives on my Mandalay are stripped down and I saw that by mistake.

So, in the end, was I correct? Or my sanity fails me again? Lol. I totally remember installing the new FSD (and seeing that +0.something Ly boost it gave me), jumping to Martuuk and trying to apply a modification, but the button was greyed out and the text read that this module has been upgraded already. Also, I saw the G5 Long Range applied to it. Or maybe I had to relog or update or something... Too lazy to go there for the second time.

p.s.: "The bad news is that you're going to want to refit your entire fleet...": done!


hahaha damn you and your fleet-of-one!

I got between 2 and 3 light years increase for each ship once I'd changed over. It seems that mass manager went onto them all with no hassles anyway and it seems that, as in the video there, it says to make more they can be crafted at human tech brokers. But, when I went there it seems they only do size 5's. The most common by far but still, just them.
As for the free ones for me, the size 7 went in the Evacu-Cutter for that end of the spectrum but the only ships that take a size 2 are the Hauler and the Sidewinder and, like, do I care?

I never really bothered replacing the drives of “all” my ships, only the ones I use more/most frequently. As I would/might with these pre-engineered ones (if I can be bothered with those, right now I’m only looking at my explorer, and some ships use C-rated SCOs for the reason of lower overcharge heat generation).

MeowersSo I'm yet to figure out whether or not that new drive is a good thing for me. Depends on what I'm going to do in the game after the Titans of course...

For what it’s worth, that odd derelict Titan noise/“signal” that has people buzzing would suggest it’s probably not too long before we know what Thargoid madness comes next.

Though perhaps I wouldn’t mind myself a quieter holiday week or two to focus on some other things for a little.

Big boom soon. Should I get into position inside the Maelstrom in the asteroids near the Titan? Or is that too close?

If Cocijo does what other Titans did, it’s going to boot you out of the cloud to a safe distance. But maybe take extra precautions here in case Frontier prepared some surprises with the last Titan’s meltdown. Though it is still some three hours until then.

I should not be awake for this.

You SHOULD be awake for this, obviously. What else is so important? Sleep?!

So, I don't have to move my ship, if I'm already parked in the safe zone of the Maelstrom? Or should I fly to the center as planned? (I just want to get the view right, as I'm bringing along some friends to watch via telepresence.)

You'll get kicked out of the center, usually, but get some additional views. If you just remain outside, you still get the main show regardless and see what comes out of the center before it.
