Fuel
Hydrogen is the fuel used to move your starships through space. Each ship has a consumption rating that tells you how much fuel a ship will use while traveling. The higher the consumption rating, the more fuel used. The entire amount of hydrogen needed for the trip must be stored on the planet where the ships are located, and your fleet must be able to carry all the fuel it needs for the entire trip in its cargo space. You can add freighters to your fleet to carry more fuel, and you can reduce the fuel consumption of your fleet by sending it off at a slower speed.
Consumption
The following equation shows the fuel consumption.
Fuel Consumption = Number of Ships * Consumption * (Distance/35,000) * (Speed%/100 * (slowestshipspeed/currentshipspeed)^.5 + 1)^2
- Note
- "Number of Ships" is the number of ships of that type. You must compute the consumption for each type of ship in the fleet separately.
