[WIP] Fuel Regen oxp

[dan3008]

I have just finished my first OXP, and it seems to be working well for me. Anyone else wanting to have a look, heres the description. But basically, it allows for refuelling your ship "on the fly" when using the hyperspace drive and carrying radioactives

HyperSpace Fuel Recvery Unit by Dan3008
Based heavily on "Military Fuel Injectors OXP by Thargoid"

New from D3008 Industaries, the Fuel recovery system. This little addon can turn Thargoid's "Military Fuel Injectors" into fuel generators when traveling at hyperspace speeds. The simple addition of a scoop and specialised radiation collecting paint, when traveling at hyperspace speeds, fuel is generated. Now for our TV advert:

Do you find yourself short on fuel? Fish you could replenish it for free?
Well, now you can!! Thanks to our scientists at D3008 Industries all you
need is some radioactive isotopes in your cargo bay, activate your
jump drive, and watch that fuel guage fill.

Requires v1.75 or later of Oolite. It will not run on older versions.
Requires Military Fuel Injectors OXP by Thargoid (any current release)

Specifications:

Base Cost - 1200 credits
Tech Level - 5
Required Equipment - Military Fuel Injectors by Thargoid

Interesting concept.. unfortunately, I found Thargoids Mil'Injectors a bit problematic.. and I don't think he ever managed to iron out all the bugs..

Cant say i've had any problems with it yet, but thats fine. Version 1.1.0 (the release i'm working on now) doesn't need it. Check back in a few days for the new update.

Nice first work!

I think it should consume radioactives to be less uber, for example 1t = 0.1ly fuel.

Thanks Its nice to be appreciated

Never thought of it consuming radioactives... at the moment, it produces 100th of a light year per radioactive. If its going to consume radioactives, I'll have to change that a bit, to avoid errors (oolite doesnt like 0.01 LY)...

maybe in a future update Athough, I'm working on a "radioactive 1/2 life" next so the 2 may just be linked lol

I like the idea.
