you dont need to max everything, for max jump range you take the lightest of everything that is still working and usally D rated except for the powerplant there you usally want the A mostly for heat efficiency, so you dont heat up fast while scooping and drop things you dont need, you dont need to be fully armed when you go on exploration or you dont need good shield when doing passenger missions (i do mine without a shield :O) the shield just takes a slot and adds weight.

Also to get a higher Jump range you need to engineer the FSD drive, just search for engineers and you will find an article here. Also Search for the business end of things.

'''Info for fellow traders:'''

To see a serious increase in profit compared to a fully fletched Lakon Type 7, go for FSD A, rest class D. Give up shields for cargo, no weapons. For the full 292t plus cargo money aim for 67 Mio. To include insurance go for 70 Mio (less fo alpha/beta players). The ship's power plant has a huge capacity and allows constant boost to a station or dock. 340 max speed with boost. As the ship handles rather agile for its size there's no real need for further upgrades (as a trader).

The reason for taking the extra risk and flying w/o shields: fuel costs will cut deep into your profit, especially when jumping close to max range - the same three-point-route I fly went up from 3,000 CR (Type 7) to 41,000 CR fuel cost (mainly due to a 14.5 LY jump).

Paying that sum still earns you a faster profit than using a fuel scope (and sacrificing cargo space). Making about 3.1 Mio / h atm. compared to about 2.2 Mio /h with Lakon 7.

If you plan to buy this as an upgrade to Type-6 better safe up about 11 million more for 5A FSD, 4A Powerplant, 5B Thrusters, 100 extra cargo and the cash to fill the 204 cargo space.

Else this ship will be a major setback to a maxed Type-6 with 112 Cargo (w/o shields).

That's what I just experienced. Lost 2 million and quite some time buying back and refitting my Type-6. I hope to spare you that loss with the information above.
