Fuel Storage
|
This article contains information relevant to both the C# and VB6 versions of Aurora.
Where differences exist, they are noted in the appropriate sections. |
Fuel Storage is a ship component that stores fuel.
Usage
[edit]Fuel storage is essential on all ships that use Engines. In VB6, it is also needed for shields. Fuel tanks are a single point of failure that can cripple a ship if damaged, so ships that expect to see combat should generally try to carry at least 2 fuel tanks.
The "Tanker" checkbox can be used to mark a vessel as tanker, enabling convenient commands for tankers to refill other ships and fleets.
Variants
[edit]The options and mechanics for fuel storage vary somewhat between versions.
