in order to complete those ship specs : http://www.sharoma.com/frontierverse/ship_specs.htm
i did this :
I bring almost every ship to Sol in order to compare them.
For that i check how much time they need to get to Barnard's Star.
what i hope this will do, is to have an easy way to figure out what are the fastest ships, and how much you can bring with it. it might be good to know if you're gonna catch your target in time or not, if you're a bounty hunter for instance.
C1 to C8 means standard hyperdrive classe 1 to 8
M1 to M3; you guessed it, that's the military version, the one tha requires you to jettison all your radioactive waste in so many systems because it's illegal. yes some of these systems actually sell military fuel on the legal market...
from left to right
- Forward & Retro accelerations
- Time in days to reach (only take account of the hyperspace jump).
- how many tons of Fuel are required to make the jump
- jump maximal range, given how much fuel you can transport.
- internal capacity minus the hyperdrive.
i cant replace the hyperdrive of certain ships (Imp. courrier & trader, panther clipper...) so i couldnt try other drives, i could wait until the drive eventually fail...
orange means : you have a nice little engine there, unfortunately, you cant bring enough fuel to use it at full capacity...
red : to avoid! you wont get to with this thing, you should try Alpha Centauri and have a drink at Eden Station instead.
blue/purple : this engine is the heart&soul of your ship! how can you even dare to imagine that you could replace it!!!
green : if you're thinking about upgrading to military drive, it seems good there.
about military classe one, forget it if you have a normal hyperdrive classe 1
