Me again! Just a quick comment to say that this is NO LONGER the best FSD for Odyssey and Horizons 4.0 players. An updated video for them will be out soon, but this is still best for Console and Legacy mode CMDRs. Also sorry for the weird glitchy music at the end, I was editing in a hurry. Only noticed it after video launch 🤦♂ Still, hope a few of you found this useful 🫡

I am not sure this is a glitch. I have just picked up this FSD and when I went to the engineer to add the Experimental Effect, it says that it is already installed and it cannot be modified. From what I have read on the official forums, this FSD was never intended to be modified in any way. Perhaps they changed it to already fitted after Update 18?

Thanks for pinning this comment, the mass manager issue is why I came to the comment section. I went to both Palin and Felicity and this version says: "Can't modify, pre-engineered". It's weird though, this message made me think this is intended or was intended at some point and maybe it was accidentally switched on with the latest update.

A couple of years ago, there were some CGs with similarly pre-engineered class 3, 4 and 6 FSDs as rewards. At the time, there was a huge kerfuffle in the forums about not being able to apply experimental effects like we'd already been able to with these class 5 drives. Eventually, they changed the button to say "Options Restricted, Pre-Engineered", which is what we've had until update 18 and still allowed experimentals. Also, it's been argued that experimentals can't be applied to a module anyway unless it IS engineered, so we should be able to do it. Apparently the same problem is also affecting some pre-engineered weapons that could previously have experimental affects applied. So it's a bit annoying, and I hope they won't just sweep it under the rug!

Hi, me again, too! Actually I do know a less grindy way to get those wake exceptions: Filter your galaxy map to find the nearest Famine system. Go there and find a food distribution center. There'll be a lot of traffic and therefore lots of wakes to scan. And you won't have to trade up, here you can find the real deal. Bring a fast ship (like the Phantom) and a good wake scanner to speed up the process. Enjoy!

Great video as usual!! One thing that I NEED to mention because it's an incredibly common piece of well-intentioned misinformation that will hurt players experience down the line. The DSS probe "heatmap" is NOT A HEATMAP, it is a distribution map. The teal vs blue distinction is PURELY surface geography, it has nothing to do with the density of the chosen object. Anywhere with a blue filter on it is "possible" for the searched object to appear. The actual geographical requirements for things to appear is not always taken into account by the DSS map, which is what gives Exobiology its reputation as a guessing game (it's actually quite knowledge based, and you have to learn different terrain types and which plants grow in which areas)
@ceres_o7
6 ай бұрын
This is known because in the Odyssey Alpha, the DSS map WAS a heatmap, and frontier disabled it during the alpha due to bugs as well as it being confusing for players. It's replacement has been the purely blue surface filter that only shows whether it is capable of spawning or not. Fdev have never reimplemented the heatmap since the Odyssey Alpha.

The biggest jump range you have, the lowest fuel to use on shorter jumps as consumption increase exponentialy. The biggest range also allows you to jump to distant systems unreachable with lower range FSD, sometimes using FSD injection. Which also means exploring possibly unexplored systems at the boundaries of the galaxy, including "vertically". Thanks for this up to date tuto.

I love most aspects of the game, and exploration has been one I really dove into, because it was there. My longest trip was an anti-clockwise circumnavigation of the edge of the entire galaxy, visiting the farthest compass point systems along the way, in my Anaconda, and took a good number of weeks to complete. Sold a stack of data when I got back, and it took hours! Trying to get my courage up to plan and attempt a circumnavigation of the thickest possible slice through the centre of the disc, from one edge to the top, to the opposing edge, and back again through the bottom. Might be a tricky one to pull off though!

Great video! And thanks for the reminder!

It carries a shield, repair unit and actually a repair limpet controller... The FSD is engineered to the max, but lets see if this pre-engineered one can squeeze a few more lightyears out of it! Also, what I wanted to mention for all who didn't know: that crash site where you get the encoded material in this video, is a crucial part of lore of Elite. Jameson was the Commander who ended the First Thargoid War and this crash site is more or less the end of a storyline you can uncover in the game, which start with very cool locations you might want to visit if you are interested in these things. I forgot where the starting point was, but maybe just google INRA bases and you will find it. There's lots of audiologs to discover on each of these locations and a few harrowing stories and locations explaining our history with the Thargoids, and how humans were maybe not that innocent in all of this...

On Wake farming, one thing that I did back when I last needed them was to put a Wake Scanner on a CZ combat ship to get them after the battle (was doing some BGS CZs at the time). After battle ends, all enemy ships scatter, leaving several wakes to scan (usually each side have close to 8 ships at any given time, if anyone knows better data on this would be nice). After some time (not sure how long), allied ships scatter too, so you may get a double dip (but I never stayed for too long because running the CZ was priority). Downside is that it's better to have the Wake Scanner engineered for Long Range (specially if you're on a slow ship), so that you can scan all wakes without moving around (they don't last long). Keep in mind that Long Range Wake Scanners draw a LOT of power, so keep it off and turn it on at the end of the battle (supposing your power priorities will turn off the correct things or you manually turned enough things off for it). Doing a Low Intensity CZ on a faster ship that can finish the battle fast and scan the wakes without requiring Long Range can probably yield good results.

one of the best methods to get Datamined Wake Exceptions is to hit a System in Famine and look for rescue/relief ships in system and sit in the middle of them and scan all the ships going out after they drop off supplies to the 4 to 6 relief ships . You can sit in one place mostly and not move around to get close to scanning the wakes . Its been a while since I needed to do this

The raw mats can be better acquired from crystal sites around 1500 ly from the bubble. They yield guaranteed G4 raw, which can be traded down. Also, you dont even need an SRV, bring a missile and limpets, shot the sites and the limpet gets it. Maybe an alternative to encoded is missions. Some gives you G5 encoded material which can ne traded. One mission usually gived 5, which is around 1 data you need. Also, you can engineer range for the wake scanner, stay around 10 from the exit of Ray Gateway, and scan the wakes from still. It is a bit less frustrating. Watch something in the meanwhile.

Hey - great video - it really is awesome to see a how-to video that isn't seven years old, for this game. The only additional I would add is that there are a number of planets where you can travel to get rare materials quickly, but they are pretty distant from the bubble. And there are some good locations / points of interest where you can grind for materials and data. As far as the wake exceptions go, I normally just try to pick them up as I am doing other tasks, since you inevitably travel through highly populated systems, and the pre-engineered FSD isn't likely to be the only module/upgrade you'll be looking to add to your collection. Again - great work!

Alternatively for wake-based encoded data look for the nearest famine system and go to a distribution center. There's usually more high wakes being made than you can scan.

For any wake materials go to a famine system of 100000 or more population. Find the t9 ships. Delivery ships . Plenty of them will wake in and out of their instance

Wow! I did NOT know about that FSD and I've spent 100's of hours in Elite on Console, and i purchased the PC version to get Oddessey. Methinks I'll be doing that, just as soon as I've ranked up in Empire (something I did on Console ages ago, but now psuedo restarting on PC). Thank you.

Got odyssey for my steam deck after doing a console port years ago and had to restart btw, if you go on fdev site and sign up your account you can do a console commander transfer and port your whole commander and ships and progress so you don’t have to start from 0 just don’t be a dummy like me and do it but then continue to progress on console. (I didn’t have a computer to run odyssey and had to use nvidia GeForce to stream on an old laptop and the quality was terrible so I went back to console but I got a steam deck in December and switched to odyssey but way further behind.) Hope this helps alleviate your grind commander

To me the pre-engineered 5A frameshift drives from the tech brokers are the only way to go. Everyone can acquire the materials needed to exchange for one at a human tech broker way faster than they can acquire the materials they would need to get Falicity Farseer. Having one will greatly reduce the number of jumps it takes to get around the bubble. Having one also makes getting a Python over the required 30.5 Ly jump range needed to make those runs in just 4 jumps round trip as opposed to 6. The passenger runs from Robigo Mines to Sothis A5 is one of the most consistent income earners for the early game even if it is repetitive.

Looking forward to the next one for sure. I only recently tried passenger missions with a ship that was meant for it, and omg it's so much easier to just win the interdiction game with a nimble ship instead of trying to run away after failing. I'll definitely be referring to this one again, I had some incoming there was a "best FSD" out there, just never looked for it. Tech brokers are still a big blind spot for me

I looked at your Krait build. Its a nice build for max jump range, i would put another field repair unit grade 1A, 1D mining laser and swap the corrosive resistant cargo rack to an 5e normal cargo rack. unless your transporting mata alloys or thargoid mats you dont need the reststant racks. The mining laser is for collecting mats for synthesis. the rapair unit is in case you need to repair the first repair unit. I would also go back to a full sizes tank just to jump longer distances without needing to scoop. That looses about 3.4 ly but as long as you farm mats on the way you can basicly go forever. if you do guardian stuff i would put point defence on it as well.
@DiturisElite
6 ай бұрын
I used to have a mining laser on there, but in the end I just wasn’t using it much, so I took it off. I put point defence on there as and when I need it, for guardian stuff. The anticorrosion rack is purely because I have it unlocked, and it’s occasionally handy. I do have another little AFMU on there, I just forgot to add it to the build 🤦🏻♂️ Still, whatever floats your boat, I just find my build best after much trial and error 🫡

I find the whole "insufferable engineering grind" to be blown way out of proportion. I came back to the game after years, never done any engineering prior to that and I find it actually engaging. Unlocking different engineers often requires you to change your routine, do things that you didn't quite expect or plan and generally it seems like the whole process is designed to introduce a lot of different gameplay elements to players who might not even tried those before. I treat is as my personal "storyline" at the moment and enjoying it quite a bit. As for materials themselves, they are non issue to me, even without logging off/on meta. Just like Dituri said about manufactured mats - there's more than one way to tackle those and each way has it's merits. Raw material gathering in far-away systems for example was one of the most chill experiences in the game for me and allowed me to see things I would probably never see outside of youtube videos. My personal opinion is that engineering is only a chore to people who don't want to be inconvenienced by doing something that they do on repeat, be it trading, bounty hunting, mining or whatever else. Because yes, you have to spend a couple of evenings doing something else, sometimes re-fitting your ship with different components and going places you normally wouldn't. But patience is often rewarded in more ways than just getting the upgrades themselves (which really make your personal build to another level btw). You call it hoop jumping, I call it gameplay diversity. Something broader to do outside of taking down pirate #9865 or a trip to Colonia.

The less grindy way of getting datamined wake exceptions is to ALWAYS carry a wake scanner wherever you go, and get in the habit of scanning wakes when you can (just like y'all honk every new star). This takes away the grind as you quite quickly build up your encoded data.

Which ship gains the most? I guessing the DBX. Not true about explorers needing jump range. When you hit the gaps between arms of the galaxy, the distances between stars can be HUGE! Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. And you need it to get out into the black.

The most you /NEED/ is like 50 something(assuming your'e willing to eat up some of your fsd with injections). If you're exploring, and actively looking for otherwise unseen systems, you don't want to be jumping at max range, or you'll be leapfrogging all those. It depends on if you're looking to just make some fast cash, or get Elite rank really quick for that system permit --OR-- you're actually looking to find something new. I fly with repair limpets, and am likely taking some research ones next time, on the super off chance that I see some weird alien life. The need there, is in case you accidentally jump into an island when using a neutron boost or injection. However, when you're done with all that, and want to get back home to sell your data in a hurry, that range will come in clutch. That, and the neutron planner...

Engineering in Elite really is a terrible grind and I wish there were more efficient ways to gather materials. Cmdr Paxus (Old man paxus YT) has a nice video on using collector limpets to gather raw materials much much faster (I personally tested it a couple days ago and it works wonders) And as a side note, other CMDRs have reported that the FSD Deep Charge experimental effect gives more jump range to the DBX only, but I couldn't tell from experience. Loving these videos so far, CMDR! Going back to basics will be a cool change of pace if you so wish. With that said, might I suggest the guardian FSD booster as your next topic. It's pretty easy to unlock imho. Fly safe, stay dangerous! o7
@DiturisElite

I’ll have to check that method out! As far as I can see experimental effect depends largely on the size of fsd rather than ship, but I’m in no way an expert on the inner workings of engineering. I could well do guardian booster video soon - I have thought of it in the past, but other ideas keep beating it to production! Thanks mate, stay dangerous 🫡
