That was amazing! Teng-hui Hub

If you are hauling cargo, you don't want to take needless modules and services. A light carrier can do it on 6000 tonnes, so 10,000 tonnes to get there carrying cargo and return fuel, sell 8000 tonnes, use the remaining 6000 tonnes to get home. Not feasible anymore.

There is a nav computer in alpha testing, not sure if he is going to release it. The nav computer will jump and refuel the carrier for you, perfect for long trips.

if I get rid of Shipyard I cant take my alts ships (T9 full of tritium) and any others that might want a ride and my inventory ,although I might reduce has been very usefull for the BGS Im thinking of doing some exploration on route to pay for the fuel and repurchase so it might take a week and Im not sure that I will return to the bubble any time soon Im not sure that my un engineered modules have any impact on fuel usage

Sadly PS4 doesnt have any refueling aids

Decomission time is 7 days to wait.

Depending on how many hours/day you play that might not be much slower than bringing it back, either, then - and you can use that time to do things in the bubble which aren't moving an empty carrier.

There is no scarcity of Tritium in refinery systems in the bubble, only scarcity of "cheap , 10 x under market rate" Tritium. INARA listed as a "Buy" via "Supply" shows top 100 Tritium supply systems, each with 300k-550k tons of supply. That's 35m tons, enough to fill 35000 FC tanks at one time, or 1750 FC in one go each with 20,000 tons.

The rub is the price. which range from 41k ton to 44.4k ton.

The new reality, those that are not willing to work hard to direct fuel or rean credits to buy fuel, for their FC, wont be going very far.

I have 7000T, will last me months in the bubble doing stuff. So lets see how it pans out.

And the thing is, all the people complaining "aaa there's no low sell systems on inara/eddb/whatever" - not every player flies with EDMC running. The prices are out there, you just might have to actually look for states in the galaxy map.
I checked my local prices just now, and... there are literally only half a dozen systems within the search radius that have had a price update in the last day. Sure, I'm out in the sticks (the most recently updated market was in Kuwemaki, to give you an idea which end of the bubble I'm in) but still, people are kicking up a fuss about an incomplete dataset. Just because the low prices haven't been found or reported, doesnt' mean they don't exist. And now people might actually have a reason to keep quiet about them!

And to hope that no-one else finds them and blabs about it.

The bubble as a whole had about 275 million tonnes of Tritium pre-patch day.

Regeneration rates seem to be about 60 days for full recovery (my early estimates were a bit pessimistic).

That's ~4.5 million tonnes per day, bubble-wide, of Tritium, or enough to completely fill up ~180 carriers a day

That doesn't seem like it's going to be a problem, especially since (in the long term, when they fix it) mining can top that up.

(Now, if you want to fill up for just 4k/tonne rather than 40k/tonne, then the early bird gets the worm, as it should be for anything sold at a 90% discount)



As an aside, as this shows and the Great Palladium Shortage showed, there are basically two settings for "supply and demand": generous enough that no-one notices it's there, and "low enough to matter" which means, yes, sometimes you won't be able to get your cargo because someone else has bought it first. (Personally I find the latter sort of economy more interesting, which is one reason I'm out in Colonia with its higher player:economic-unit ratio)



EDITs: might actually be a 45 day regeneration cycle - finally found some clean-ish data - which would be closer to 6 million tonnes per day or ~250 carriers.

Also corrected extra zero on carrier/day figure above - sorry, typing too fast there.

That post was written long-long time ago, but what maths are still true from the above? After the current CG does it needs a two months regeneration cycle for tritium?

The bubble will still have plenty of Tritium available
There is no chance this CG to drain it
