'''Titan drive component''' is a [[Commodities#Salvage|Salvage Commodity]] of the [[Thargoid|Thargoids]]. It is a rare and valuable item. It can be salvaged from the wreckage of a dead [[Thargoid Titan|Titan]].  
'''Titan drive component''' is a [[Commodities#Salvage|Salvage Commodity]] of [[Thargoid]] origin. A rare and highly valuable item, they can only be [[Salvager|salvaged]] from the wreckage of a dead [[Thargoid Titan|Titan]].  


The component is corrosive to ship modules, and can only be safely transported using a [[Corrosion Resistant Cargo Rack]].  
== Collection ==
They appear very rarely around the carcass of a dead Titan, along with other Thargoid Salvage commodities and Materials, such as [[Thargoid Organic Circuitry|Organic Circuitry]], [[Caustic Crystal|Caustic Crystals]], or various [[Thargoid Cyclops Tissue Sample|Tissue Samples]].


== Collect ==
Just like with normal cargo containers, Commanders can either use [[Collector Limpet Controller|collector limpets]], or manually gather the components with their vessel's [[Cargo Scoop|cargo scoop]].
They appear very rarely around the corpse of a dead Titan. Use [[Collector Limpet Controller|collector limpets]] or manually gather the drives with a [[Cargo Scoop|cargo scoop]] open.  
 
It should be noted that the Titan Drive Component is highly corrosive, and will cause internal damage to the carrying ship, lest it is placed within a [[Corrosion Resistant Cargo Rack]].
 
== Usage ==
The primary (if not ''only'') use of the '''Titan Drive Component''' is the aquisition of a [[Frame Shift Drive (SCO)|Pre-Engineered FSD (SCO) V1]]. One '''Titan Drive Component''' is required, among other materials, to aquire a single pre-engineered FSD module, thus placing the '''TDC's''' in high demand among independent pilots.
