Scoops: functionality

[Cholmondely]

Just dug this up in phkb's wiki page on his Ship Configuration OXP:

Fuel scoops give pilots a means of replenishing their fuel supply by scooping fuel gasses from the corona of the sun. Each fuel scoop contains an 'accumulator'. The fuel scoop accumulator is the storage area inside the scoop where gasses are held prior to being converted into fuel. The larger the accumulator, the faster fuel is scooped.

There are 4 classes of fuel scoop available, each one having a different accumulator size:
Class 1 0.10 ly accumulator. Weight 2t. This is the standard type of fuel scoop. (TL6)
Class 2 0.15 ly accumulator. Weight 4t. (TL7)
Class 3 0.20 ly accumulator. Weight 6t. (TL9)
Class 4 0.25 ly accumulator. Weight 8t. (TL11)

And if a small ship is trying to attack you, can the scanner handle the task of displaying it as hostile cargo?

This would be a new maneuver in hostile encounters.

One option is to fight.
One option is to evade.
The third could be to scoop the attacker...

And it would allow something like hijacking missions.

This all sounds like a very intriguing development...
