I’ll confess. I am half posting this to help assist in generating conversation in this community.
But I am genuinely curious: Is it worth it to change out coolers / power plants? I changed out my Taurus’s quantum drive and it was hugely helpful, so I’m kind of exploring what other upgrades I could make.
What component upgrades have you tried? Were they helpful or noticable?
Thanks all!
You can actually see how detectable you are if you go into your Game Settings, scroll all the way to the bottom, and enable “Emissions HUD - Display Signature Values”
It doesn’t tell you the exact distance you’re detectable from (since this can depend on the sensors/sensitivity of the ship trying to detect you). But you should be able to tell if it makes a difference or not.
