If I hadn't read it here on the forum, I would have thought that the NPCs had Torus drives and got masslocked the same as I do. I think this is an important point. One o...

something to do with different stellar radii? It would be worth checking out at a variety of different stars. That may have something to do with it. I was using Zaonce for calibration, but I remember routine scooping elsewhere and was surprised by the level my CT rose to. For scooping, time within ...

Unless I'm missing something, removing the jumpdrive will require other changes. I just ran a test with a Cobra MkIII, plus fuel scoops but no heat shields and no injectors. Consider this a simulation of a common ship, heat shields destroyed, and out of witchfuel. The test was to scoop fuel from Gal...

We would live in a truly 3D ooniverse, constrained to what some might think of as...
