'''Sizes''' vary for refuelling systems, with three very different size categories in the game. Small Craft refuelling systems can only be used on ships of 1000 tons or less (i.e., [[Fighter]]s and [[Fast Attack Craft]]). Standard systems can be used on any ship. Hubs can theoretically be used on any ship, but due to their immense size, they are most often seen on [[space station]]s or very large specialty vessels.  
The '''Refuelling System''' comes in two versions, the standard one that can be installed on any ship, and a "Small Craft Refuelling System" that can only be installed on ships 1000 tons in size or less (i.e., [[Fighter]]s and [[Fast Attack Craft]]). Multiple Refuelling Systems of the same type/speed can be stacked, increasing the overall transfer speed of fuel.

'''Fuelling Speed''' unlocks improved models of standard-sized Refuelling Systems. It also affects the fuelling speed of hubs - there is only one hub module, which does not need to be upgraded, but it will transfer fuel at a rate determined by your highest researched fuelling speed technology.  
'''Refuelling System''' is a [[Logistics]] [[Research]] that unlocks better Systems with higher transfer speed for a slightly higher build cost, while staying at the same size.

Refuelling Systems are components that allow Ships to pass fuel to other ships. They are one of two ways to refuel your ships, the other being Refuelling Station/Spaceport installations on a colony. In order to use a Refuelling System, the ship must also be designated as a tanker.

[edit]

The Refuelling System comes in two versions, the standard one that can be installed on any ship, and a "Small Craft Refuelling System" that can only be installed on ships 1000 tons in size or less (i.e., Fighters and Fast Attack Craft). Multiple Refuelling Systems of the same type/speed can be stacked, increasing the overall transfer speed of fuel.

Refuelling System Sizes
Size Class Small Craft Standard
Size (tons) 50 2000
Fuelling Speed 15,000 LPH See below
BP cost 4 See below
RP cost N/A See below
Crew 4 20
HTK 0 1
Duranium 1 See below
Boronide 3 See below

Refuelling System is a Logistics Research that unlocks better Systems with higher transfer speed for a slightly higher build cost, while staying at the same size.

Refuelling speed (Litres per Hour)
Speed 20,000 30,000 40,000 60,000 90,000 135,000 200,000 300,000 450,000 600,000 900,000
BP cost 10 12 16 20 25 32 40 50 64 80 100
Duranium cost 2.5 3 4 5 6.25 8 10 12.5 16 20 25
Boronide cost 7.5 9 12 15 18.75 30 37.5 50 48 60 75
RP cost N/A 2,000 4,000 8,000 16,000 32,000 64,000 125,000 250,000 500,000 1,000,000

Underway Replenishment technologies allow tankers to refuel other ships in motion, instead of needing to stop. The rate will be slowed when replenishing underway (until the 100% technology is researched), but it can still be convenient in many cases.

Underway Replenishment
% Rate 20% 30% 45% 70% 100%
RP Cost 2,500 5,000 10,000 20,000 40,000

Changed in v2.6.0.
The Refuelling System was changed and the Refuelling Hub was removed from the game.
