Gas in the tank

My thought is (1) calculate the most efficent fuel useage for that drive and use it for all ships using that drive, or (2) calculate the fuel consumation for each size hull and then invert those numbers. In the specific example given, the 200 tn hull uses 10 tns of fuel, 201 to 400 uses 20 tns, and 401 to 800 uses 40 tns per 4 weeks of operation.

PS. boomslang, your linked site was down when I tried, so I will check it later.

It's a chart that assigns approximate HG2 EP values to the various B2 powerplants, to be used as a basis for a variant that would use HG2 fuel requirements in lieu of B2's.

Yahoo!'s down... that's never a good sign...

Not all Yahoo!, just something to do with that link, but I just checked and it's working fine now.

I think IMTU, I'll just use my 2nd choice above - inverting that part of the chart.
