In order to fire Mass Drivers, kinetic ammunition must be carried on the ship. When launching for a dive, ammunition can be bought in batches of 1000kg for an average cost of 250 E$, though this price will fluctuate with the market.

To store ammunition, a projectile magazine must be installed on the ship. Each magazine has two stats a captain needs to consider: Storage and Delivery. Storage refers to how many kilograms of ammunition a ship is able to carry. Delivery is how many kilograms per second the storage system can supply to weapons; if the combined ammunition usage of all mass drivers on the ship exceeds this, their rate of fire will be limited to the delivery speed.

If no mass driver is installed, sealing the magazine is recommended due to the redundant weight of bringing ammo that cannot be used, unless the ammo is intended for trade.

Name Price (E$) Storage (kg) Delivery (kg/s)
Projectile magazine 5,000 1,000 100
Dual projectile magazine 10,000 2,000 200
Heavy projectile magazine 25,000 5,000 200
Military projectile magazine 50,000 10,000 200
Frigate-class projectile magazine 100,000 20,000 500
Destroyer-class projectile magazine 250,000 50,000 500

Note that Frigate & Destroyer-class magazines can only be installed on large ships, such as the Antonoff-Titan K225 and OCP-209.
