Haha thanks. I was getting star wars vibes when I built this but I wasn't sure why... I was thinking that it must have looked like a combination of a podracer and a naboo fighter (hence my paint scheme lol) but I think I forgot about the cloud car... Good call.

Yeah, it's pretty easy to make a few small changes and get max mobility. Many players would probably find it acceptable to use a lighter grav drive and lose a bit of jump range. If you have Sarah Morgan on your crew, you should be able to use the R-400 Alpha grav drive and that single change will reduce your mass enough to get to 100 mobility. That reduces your jump range to 23ly but Sarah *should* boost it to about 29 or 30... Unfortunately her astrodynamics skill is bugged for some players, including myself. As an alternative to Sarah Morgan, you can hire an astrodynamics specialist to slightly increase your jump range, but unfortunately they seem to have the same bug for me... In that case, you can use 1 perk point on the Astrodynamics skill, and that will allow you to get anywhere with the Aurora 12G grav drive, which is lighter than the 13g. Then you can swap the H30 atlas fuel tank for an H20 atlas fuel tank and you will be at 100 mobility. If you don't want to reduce your fuel, you can use the SF-40 reactor which makes the same power but slightly reduces your hull strength - combined with the lighter grav drive this will also get you to 100 mobility. If you don't want to change your grav drive, you can just reduce fuel... Replacing the H30 fuel tank with the Titan 550 He3 tank will be enough to get to 100 mobility, and you won't need to make any other changes. It will still have enough fuel to do the longest jump in the game without any perks, but if you want to go from one side of the galaxy to the other, you will have to do it in several hops, which is especially annoying if you don't have the fastest computer - lots of loading screens. If you're like me and you really want to have the jump range to go anywhere, another option is to simply reduce your cargo capacity a bit... Replacing the Galeon S201 cargo hold with the caravel V104 cargo hold is enough to get you to 100 mobility, and you will still have a decent cargo capacity of 830... You actually have 10 mass to spare after this change, so you could upgrade the bridge a bit at the taiyo showroom to up your cargo capacity a bit... I think the Himeji Bridge would get you to 870. If you don't want to sacrifice cargo, jump range or fuel, there is still a way to do it... Use the SF-40 reactor instead of the pinch 8z and use 6 of the Vanguard Obliterator Autoprojectors instead of using 3 of the Obliterator 250MeV Auto Alpha Beams... Of course you will need to be in the vanguard in order to buy those weapons, but they are light and powerful and there is enough room to install them (I showed them as an option when reviewing the weapons - the timestamp is 16:50 if you want to see my review of the autoprojectors).

That was a detailed response. Thanks. Keep the ship builds coming! Enjoyed it!

IME the difference between 96 and 100 in Mobility can't even be observed in combat.

@@randelclawson7695 I agree, it's a pretty trivial difference... Especially if you are good at using the thrusters.
