Some fuel scoop sizes give you only a couple of seconds faster scooping and usually cost double in price so in that case just go with the cheaper one and don't worry about it. However – if you're tight on budget, there's nothing wrong with taking a lower class fuel scoop. They don't weight a thing, they don't impact your jump range, so a higher class will save you time on refuelling. When it comes to your internal modules – get the best fuel scoop you can afford. That means you can stand there longer and not overheat – and therefore, not take any damage. A-class power plants are tougher and take less heat damage once you come close to the star to scoop fuel. The pure power output is not that important since you'll be using like 50-60% of it anyway… So just make sure you have enough to power your modules – no need to spend money on things you won’t be using. That means full D-class modules except the FSD and the power plant.Ī-class FSD is a must for obvious reasons, and you should take an A-class power plant but make it a smaller module size if possible. So – explorers usually fit the lightest modules they can find to max out the ship jumprange. Once you get out of the habitable space there's literally nothing that can harm you except yourself. Now, what you need to know is how to fit your ship properly. To easily memorize star types you can actually get fuel from just remember KGB FOAM or “Oh Be A Fine Girl, Kiss Me” where each first letter represents a star class. There are a lot of things to take into consideration like ship size, fuel tank size, stock jump range, the number of internal compartments and so on… But, to make things simple – you can find several ships with custom tailored exploration fits below that you can use to push yourself into the void without the worry of being stuck somewhere, as long as you keep your eye on your fuel tank and any scoopable stars around you. Even though you can go exploring in pretty much any ship ingame – some are obviously better suited for the job than the others. Ok, so first things first – before you even think of doing anything, you'll need a decent exploration ship. If you're an experienced pilot that knows his/her way around the galaxy, feel free to skip the introductions onto the “Let’s make some money” section below pointing you to a huge neutron star field… On the other hand – if you're just starting with Elite and exploration – read on!
