JDs , HScanners and their fuel

[Oldum]

a bustard should not have both a jumpdrive and a hyperspace scanner,the corvo should be able to use one without the need of a second ship to supply it
why i would like to be able to mount a cloak,i do know better ,the troubles it will cause outweigh my benefit

That is indeed a way of looking at it, but since the Bustard has no other role but to act as a "carrier-ish" exploration ship at the moment, I think being able to go somewhere, scan for coordinates and be able to actually jump there later on would turn it capable to serve its purpose. ( We will probably differ on that, just sharing my view )

however i do like your idea regarding jump fuels but will need some tweaking :
it should use more cargo ,1 powercore should be between 300~400 because anything else will cause some balance issues with other ships than bustard ,such as being able to mount a JD,Cloak and CAU8

That is indeed a good point, however, since no capital ship has more cargo space than the Bustard, (1800) and even with the removal of fuel taking space up, it would barely have enough cargo space to mount a JD3 (900) , a Cloak (450) and a CAU8 (300) - it is 1650 total, and we didn't count shields, turrets or anything else into account, which all take cargo space, especially for battleships ( Lib Carrier with 28 turrets or Coalition Carrier with 32 says Hi ! ) . However, if adding some cargo value to these batteries, it would totally cancel that possibility, I agree on that.
