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
