I consider the Size 4A fuel scoop to be an acceptable piece of equipment on a Beluga Liner.

It refuels 128 tonnes worth of tanks in under seven minutes for crying out loud! That's insane!

Source: The QE2. That took hours to fill.

See! This dude(tte) gets it!

Fuel scoop ain't needed at all! Just refuel at stations! Just like 21st century vessels!

Retro!

"Anyone caught flying with a scoop, will now be added to a public KoS list on Reddit."

Wait til they add more realistic refueling as another timegate.
How does 1ton of fuel per minute sound like?
That would fit todays standards, heh.

I wouldn't mind. :p

But for cereal. I see so many posts bemoaning the Beluga because it "Can't refuel quickly". People make the mistake of thinking it's an exploration ship.

Let's take off the rose-tinted glasses. An exploration ship does not *need* a fighter. That's equipment intended for a ship that lives in the bubble. In real terms, fighters add nothing in cash gain to exploration.

They are a defensive, and expendable, tool.

They protect your ship from space-madness inducing "I can fly through this canyon without any harm at max speed while forgetting my shields are off" syndrome [yesnod]
