Fuel Usage vs Power Efficiency!
Fuel usage vs Power Efficiency!
Did a Short test to see if adding more generators to create a more effecent ship would result in better fuel economy. Or just add weight and make them actually Less efficient.. The results were a bit unexpected.. It didn't seem to make any difference in fuel Usage even with many ton's in added weight? It was like the ship is going to run for 60 minuit's on a T3 Fuel Cell no matter how much weight or Energy Efficiency?

Link to the Video Test!

This was in the Experimental branch so no telling what the different is from the Live version!

Let me Know what you Think!
Peace

We think we figured it out..... Say a Thruster is rated at 10 tons and draws 1 meg watt, It will allways draw 1 meg watt as long as it's on no matter the tonage you put on it because it's not fuel driven but electric driven. So if it's running at 20% holding up 2 tons it still draws 1 mw, or 10 tons still 1 MW of power draw! now if you put over 10 ton's on it it will no longer hover but drop! Hope thats understandable... Not saying it's an efficent design.. but seems that's what they are doing!
Peace Sleepy!
