'''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. Without a [[Corrosion Resistant Cargo Rack]], carrying this commodity will cause damage to modules.
 
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.

On 19 December 3310, pre-engineered V1 [[Frame_Shift_Drive_(SCO)|SCO FSDs]] became available and required 1 Titan drive component, along with other materials, to purchase.
