Changes: Reactors

Latest revision as of 06:06, 27 January 2016

Reactors provide energy generation and storage. Without energy, most components will not function - only a ship's engines will run, and then only at one-third of their normal capability.

Reactors need fuel to run, drawn from fuel cells. "Efficiency" represents how much fuel is required to produce energy, so smaller numbers are better. "Output" is how much energy one reactor can produce in one second, while "Storage" determines the maximum available energy for shields and weapons.

The following reactors are available:

Name	Space	Resources	Fuel	Efficiency	Output	Storage
Basic Space Reactor	18	5 Steel, 7 Helium, 3 Lead	Caslon	4.11 per 1000	46	90
Fission Reactor	22	6 Iridium, 9 Helium, 5 Steel, 4 Lead	Caslon	3.81 (+0.03 -0.01) per 1000	60 (+12 +14)	105 (+20 +25)
Quantum Reactor	18	6 Iridium, 11 Krypton, 4 Steel, 2 Carbon Fibre, 2 Tyderios	Caslon	3.48 (+0.01 -0.01) per 1000	120 (+25 +30)	230 (+45 +55)
Fusion Reactor	15	7 Iridium, 10 Argon, 6 Steel	Hydrogen	2.89 (-0.10 -0.10) per 1000	84 (+16 +20)	180 (+35 +45)
HyperFusion Reactor	16	8 Iridium, 12 Helium, 6 Steel, 4 Aculon, 4 Tyderios	Hydrogen	2.79 (-0.12 -0.15) per 1000	180 (+35 +45)	350 (+90 +100)

Additionally, the Quameno race has access to its own special reactor:

Name	Space	Resources	Fuel	Efficiency	Output	Storage
NovaCore Reactor	20	6 Iridium, 9 Krypton, 4 Steel, 3 Aculon, 2 Tyderios	Hydrogen	2.00 (+0 +0) per 1000	120 (+35 +37)	240 (+60 +75)
