 January 30, 2016 - 2:29pm | I noticed that a lot of the vehicle write ups include what amounts to "fuel efficiency" (rate of SEU use). I don't recall that ever being in the rules. Did someone come up with this on their own? Is there a thread or Topic I can read up on how they did it? |
 January 30, 2016 - 4:37pm | I believe the rules just say one Parabattery (of the appropriate type for the vehicles) = 1000 miles. I think everything else is just peoples more modern/recent adaptations. Ad Astra Per Ardua!

 January 30, 2016 - 6:49pm | Yes. Page 29 of the expanded rules: Range. All vehicles listed above can travel 1,000 km on a new parabattery before it is out of energy and must be recharged. A glijet does not use a parabattery; its range varies with fuel use, altitude and air currents -iggy |
January 30, 2016 - 7:33pm | Hmmm...interesting. And that was based on which parabattery? Well, wait...since all parabatteries have different amounts of SEU, there's the basis for deriving a "fuel efficiency". number of SEU divided by 1000km. Edit to add: Well, that wasn't such a chore. It's pretty simple once the math is done: Normal Notation Cycles: 2 km/SEU Cars: 1 km/SEU Explorers/Transports: .5 km/SEU Heavy Vehicles/Aircraft: .25 km/SEU Star Frontiers Notation Cycles: .5 SEU/km Cars: 1 SEU/km Explorers/Transports: 2 SEU/km Heavy Vehicles/Aircraft: 4 SEU/km |
January 30, 2016 - 11:27pm | Just above this paragraph in the book it tells which parabatery goes with each vehicle. -iggy |
 January 31, 2016 - 1:08am | For those unaware, vehicle statistics like Powerplant (parabatteries used), Range and Fuel Economy (SEU per km travailed) are noted under each entry in the SF Wiki. |
