** AVAILABLE FUEL CELL TYPES **
FUEL CELL WEIGHT COST AVAILABILITY TYPE
Mark I 200 Kg 50 Cr 2 Very Old Civilian
Mark II 150 Kg 250 Cr 1 Old Civilian
Mark III 75 Kg 1500 Cr 2, X Old Military
Mark IV 100 Kg 500 Cr 1 Standard Civilian
Mark V 50 Kg 2000 Cr 3, X Standard Military
Mark VI 10 Kg 15000 Cr 4, X Advanced Military
Note: These fuel cells are made for starfighter-scale starships.
** NUMBER OF FUEL CELLS CARRIED **
STARFIGHTERS
Take the consumables rating, convert it into hours and divide it
with twelve to get the number of fuel cells carried.
A starfighter is designed to use only military fuel cells, and it
would be difficult to use civilian fuel cells instead of military.
Example 1; X-Wing 5 * 24 / 12 = 10 fuel cells
Example 2; Longprobe Y-Wing 15 * 24 / 12 = 30 fuel cells
Example 3; TIE Interceptor 2 * 24 / 12 = 4 fuel cells
LIGHT FREIGHTERS
Most stock light freighters have 50 fuel cells, but the actual
number depends upon class, so there is no fixed rule.
A light freighter is designed to use only civilian fuel cells,
but can easily be modified to use military grade fuel cells.
Guideline:
YT1300 50 cells = 300h in hyper. 70 days of consumables
ZH-10 35 cells = 210h in hyper. 70 days of consumables
ZH-25 75 cells = 450h in hyper. 105 days of consumables
Helix 80 cells = 480h in hyper. 20 days of consumables
** RECHARGING FUEL CELLS **
CHARGING RATE, STARPORT COST PER CELL
Trickle (1 cell/day) 5 Cr
Standard (1 cell/hour) 10 Cr
Fast (5 cells/hour) 50 Cr
Emergency (20 cells/hour) Varies*
* They're not actually recharging the cells: they're replacing the
depleted cells with previously-charged cells of the same model.
Note: Military starports double all recharging rates, but the cost is
tripled.
CHARGING RATE, FUEL SCOOP WEIGHT COST AVAILABILITY
Small Size (1 cell/hour) 10 Ton 10000 Cr 1
Standard Size (5 cells/hour) 15 Ton 15000 Cr 2
Large Size (10 cells/hour) 20 Ton 20000 Cr 2
CHARGING RATE, SOLID FUEL CONVERTERS WEIGHT COST AVAILABILITY
Depends upon energy content of material 5 Ton 8000 Cr 2
Guideline: 1 cell/Kg metal or 0.1 cell/Kg wood
CHARGING RATE, SOLAR CONVERTERS WEIGHT COST AVAILABILITY
Small Sails (30/90 days) 5 Ton 6000 Cr 2
Standard Sails (15/45 days) 10 Ton 12000 Cr 2
Large Sails (5/15 days) 15 Ton 18000 Cr 3
Note: (15/45 days) means it takes 15 days in-system, 30 days out-system,
to fully recharge all of the ships fuel cells.
CHARGING RATE, INFLIGHT REFUELING WEIGHT COST AVAILABILITY
Retractable Probe (5 cells/hour) 200 Kg 1500 Cr 2, X
Fixed Probe (5 cells/hour) 150 Kg 1000 Cr 2, X
Fuel Receptacle (10 cells/hour) 100 Kg 3000 Cr 2, X
