I was meandering through TNE and noticed something that might be of
interest to the ship-builders. It seems as though the requirements for
Jump fuel have gone down considerably in relation to the amount needed
for thrust.
For example:
Scout/Courier
2G Manuever (not sure if this makes a difference yet)
G-Hours: 40 (56.8 using jump fuel)
Note: "Fuel purification machinery, 20.69 hours to refine 710m(3)."
Far Trader
1G Manuever
G-Hours: 24 (40.8 using jump fuel)
Note: "Fuel purification machinery, 24 hours to refine 1020m(3)."
I assume this is the full fuel complement for each ship - it doesn't state
it elsewhere. With this, the 2G uses 12.5m(3) per hour G, and the 1G uses
25m(3) per hour burn. This also leaves 600m(3) for the far trader (200tons)
to jump2, and 500m(3) for the Scout (100tons) to do the same jump.
Esoterica I guess, but I thought it was an interesting glimpse. Sorry about
the cross post, but I thought both places would find it interesting.
