What do you want to do about a wiki page for this?

His Nibs
I'm obviously being stupid, but, what does this do and why would I want one?

And if you can give me a little more detail about Xaxrax-Sigma Industries, I can probably create a wiki page for it...

Hi

the qve replaces the "normal" energy recharge-rate with modular, buyable
equipment.

- buying th basic - sets the "normal" recharge-rate to zero and adds cargo-space and some money
- buying an energy-module rises the recharge rate and lower the cargo-space

---- if you buy the maximum (calculated from ships recharge-rate) of energy-modules
you have the same as original

-> but now - you are able to decide -- more energy or more cargo-space

!!!! try !!!

Where does the energy come from? Is it still magical? Does it come from the 7ly quirium fuel tank? Or somewhere else?

Donuts... magic donuts!
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casimir_e ... properties
"On a submicron scale, this force becomes so strong that it becomes the dominant force between uncharged conductors. In fact, at separations of 10 nm – about 100 times the typical size of an atom – the Casimir effect produces the equivalent of about 1 atmosphere of pressure"

1 atmosphere of pressure is about 10 metric tons of force for the surface area of 1 square meter. (m^2)

Do not forget to specify nm as 'nautical miles' ;-)
