![]() To scoop hydrogen fuel from a star's corona into the converters, a ship of moderate speed should have Witchdrive Fuel Injectors installed, or be prepared to quickly hyperspace out. For a more efficient system see the notes on Executive SpaceWays Delta and Strelka series. On many ships, the installation of scoops involves additional pipework that can be as little as 40% efficient. The Fuel Scoop Icon as it appears when the cargo bay is full.The Fuel Scoop Icon as it normally appears on the HUD.It is to be noted that the Fuel Scoops are still functional for ship refuelling whether the cargo bay is full or not. Once the Cargo bay is filled to capacity, the lower segment of the icon will change colour from green to red as a handy reminder to the busy Commander that he is unable to salvage any floating debris that he should encounter in the spacelanes. This icon has the handy function of oscillating while the Fuel Scoops are in operation, for visual confirmation along with the audible indicator functionality. ![]() Once installed, the fuel scoop icon will become visible on the HUD, as shown below. Similarly, nearly all pirate vessels have scoops fitted so they can blast their prey apart and loot the wreckage, removing any need to board a hostile craft. This allows for salvage of space debris and is an essential piece of equipment to the asteroid miner. In addition, the scoop’s sensor matrix can sense dense (non gaseous) objects, such as cargo containers or metallic fragments, and divert them via a tractor chute into the ship’s hold. All this with no leaking of gases or radiation. All non-hydrogen materials are fed into the drive exhaust. The ionised particles of the solar wind are separated by mass and charge, the hydrogen is then processed in a catalytic chamber, converted to Quirium and injected into the vessel’s storage tanks. They combine a powerful magnetic field generator, an atomic sensor and a vacuum lock collector to actively suck hydrogen from the corona of a star. 5.1 To display fullness of cargo hold while scoopingįuel scoops provide a quick and easy way to refuel the spacecraft without the need to purchase fuel from space stations.
