    For Size 3 Quantum Drives, TS-2 is the way to go EXCEPT for the Reclaimer. For that you want the Erebos. While the TS-2 is faster, the Erebos is fast enough, but more importantly WAY MORE efficient. You won't be scrambling for fuel on every little jump like you would for the TS-2. The Reclaimer is just enormous in mass, so efficiency is what you want to weight.

    Good video. I went into this video not expecting much but was actually really well thought out and helpful. Especially giving the shout out to the sites at the start
  • @MartinB034
    After 10 years in this game, it facinates me how I always learn something new from great content creators like you! I knew there where differences in components, but the mass thing blew me away! It would be neat if you could informe us a little more on QT drives. I noticed that the coodowns can vary quite a bit, making some slower QT interesting as when you come out of a long trip, you can jump super fast to your next point. Anyways, great job, love the videos!

    This have been an enlightening lesson. Apart from using Atlas QT drives for all my small ships, I've been mindlessly buying components that are military grade As for every other component. Next time I go shopping for new components, I'll keep what you taught us in your video in mind!

    Great video πŸ‘ŒπŸ’― Its funny how i started to play this game for 5/6 weeks now and i did exactly what you explained here i get the best from status after looking them whit much attention ! And when i say to ppl it makes a huge difference they say it doesn't, only guns and shields and QT ! 😏 πŸ˜‚
  • With how much time I spend on erkul, I'm surprised about how much of this I didn't know. Great vid!
  • @AgentBoSmoke
    thank you Okka and UofS. you guys are freaking amazing. the best in the verse. o7
  • @gigarott
    Yeah, the vk-00 is a letdown, it was my go to until I realized how bad it was. Great video! Best sc info on the tube hands down!
  • @M3SA-gaming
    Good stuff Durgan! Spectre enjoyer here as well.
  • @foxy0116
    very well made video - subbed :)
  • @house382
    Unimportant note: None of the QT drives allow us to go faster than light. Closest we get us the VK-00 with 0.94c.
  • @erictexeira4679
    Awesome vid. if I am going for a stealth loadout in my Sabre, should I go for the Stealth Components? Do they actually lower my EM or should i not bother and go for the best ones you mentioned at each size?
  • @blindfire101
    holy shit all the stock components on the gladius are bugged
  • @spaceman2137
    in 3.23.1 all shields (of the same size) are the same. There are no differences. It makes no sense to change the shield
  • @Longtimer49
    its too bad shield upgrades do almost nothing
