Builders Can Haul

Adds storage capacity to all builders, scaled to their travel speed with Heron E as baseline.
All builders have 200 drone capacity.

Ships built before installing the mod might not be effected by the changes.

Heron E is a Teladi L Freighter used as the baseline.
Builder cargo capacity is scaled against:
1. Their own travel speed
2. Cargo capacity of the Heron E relative to the average builder cost.

In the first image: The normal cargo capacity of a Heron E is 62,000. It is multiplied against the average cost of a builder in this table to more easily compare the ships.

In the second image: The "time per route", "throughput per ship", and "cost per m³/s" columns are theoretical based on the formula from QSNA.

In the third image: A comparison of this mod and my two optional patches which offer different scaling.
"Cost Scaled" is the Cost-Equal Throughput mod.
"Throughput Scaled" is the Equal Throughput mod.

NPC faction ships are effected, but they never attempt to use the storage space of builders.
The drone capacity greatly reduces the chance for NPC ships to have insufficient drones, and allows the player to use more building and cargo drones without compromising either.

Intended to be used for hauling construction material to my 100x Production Module stations, but also useful for other purposes such as Terraforming.

Goes well together with this mod:
5x Cargo Drone Capacity
