Understanding the Ship's Equipment

Introduction

Your ship requires numerous systems and equipment to run and fly properly, with no one piece being vastly more important than the others for operation, and with each being separated by their own section on the equipment and/or repair menus. This guide aims to explain the basics behind what each type does, as well as giving a list of what is applicable where and what can be fitted to various systems.

The guide will also provide lists of equipment that can be used for each type. For obvious reasons, no empty slot names will be used.

Hardpoints

Hardpoints are the main course when it comes to your involvement in the rings. These allow you to fit various equipment that lets you break rocks, store minerals, make a claim, and a multitude of other uses. There are several types of hardpoints - high-stress, spinal, low-stress, docking bays, and drone bays - each with their own restrictions and capabilities to what can be fitted to them.

High-Stress Hardpoints

These are the big boys when it comes to equipment fittings. Attached directly to the spine of many larger vessels, they are capable of supporting any equipment available to you both structurally as well as through power and consumable requirements. Due to the requirements, most ships are only capable of fitting one, if at all.

Consumable Storages

Consumables are extra materials that need to be supplied to some equipment to ensure they work. Some aren't required, like mass driver ammunition and nanodrone components, as you might not be using equipment that needs them, but when you are using them, the storage units for it are all necessary for use. As much as that they all have tiny internal magazines, worth 100kg of consumable space, but that quickly gets used up, thus making a storage for them necessary. Propellant is the big requirement for ships. Nearly everything uses propellant somewhere down the line, as it's used in most reactors as well as for thrust in nearly all cases.

Cothons, K225s and OCP-209s are in many cases capable of holding more of specific consumables than other hull types.

Kinetic Ammunition

This set of storage is a necessity for all mass driver-like equipment. You're likely already familiar with it as all stock K37 ships come with a mass driver and storage. Each storage also has a delivery speed, which will bottleneck if you are using a lot of items that need ammo or the equipment uses it too fast.

Kinetic Ammunition Options

Name	Storage Amount (kg)	Delivery Speed (kg/s)	Cost (E$)	Notes
Projectile magazine	1,000	100	5,000
Dual projectile magazine	2,000	200	10,000

Station-class nanodrone storage	50,000	100	1,250,000	Can only be fitted on K225 class ships and the OCP-209

Propellant Tanks

These tanks contain a water-based propellant, used by most reactors, thrusters, and plasma throwers. Propellant can be reclaimed in the rings with most MPUs.

Propellant Tank Options

Name	Storage Amount (kg)	Cost (E$)	Notes
Short-range propellant tank	15,000	6,000
Standard propellant tank	30,000	12,000

Freighter propellant tank array	500,000	400,000	Can only be fitted on K225 class ships and the OCP-209

Thrusters

Thrusters work as the main propulsion mechanism of all ships in the rings using the water-based propellant as a reaction mass. Ships use two types of thruster to operate: your retro rockets (aka. the Reaction Control System thrusters, or RCS for short) and your main drives, or Torch thrusters. The RCS provides for the basic maneuverability and movement, while the torches provide for unparalleled thrust while using significantly more propellant in the process.

Both will be split into two different sections to make for an easier distribution of info.

Reaction Control System (RCS)

These thrusters are generally smaller and provide relatively small thrust compared to a main torch, however they're placed much more fruitfully around your ship than torches (all ships have at least four of them), and are generally used a lot more often.

RCS Thrusters

Name	Default/Min/Max thrust output (kN)	Efficiency/exhaust velocity (km/s)	Propellant economy (kg/s)	Power consumption (MW)	Thermal consumption (GW)	Operation mode	Gimbaled? (deg/s, angle)	Cost (E$, per thruster)

Elon Interstellar AGILE thruster	120/60/180	40	3	60	2.5	Variable thrust	160/35	12,000

The following RCS thruster(s) needs to be unlocked before use:

Unlockable Equipment

Name	Default/Min/Max thrust output	Efficiency/exhaust velocity (km/s)	Propellant economy (kg/s)	Power consumption (MW)	Thermal consumption (GW)	Operation mode	Gimbaled? (deg/s, angle)	Cost (E$, per thruster)
RA-K69V thruster	400/300/800	12	33.3	25	3.6	Pulsed thrust	540/25	18,600

Main Propulsion (Torches)

These thrusters are the big boi thrusters on the ship. Most ships will have one or two at best, so these come at a premium. The sheer amount of thrust they produce makes them a big improvement over using straight RCS, especially for heavier ships.

Torch Thrusters

Name	Default/Min/Max thrust output	Efficiency/exhaust velocity (km/s)	Propellant economy (kg/s)	Power consumption (MW)	Thermal consumption (GW)	Operation mode	Response time (seconds)	Gimbaled or vectored thrust?	Cost (E$, per torch)

• * The Z-Axial Pinch fusion torch utilises an internal fusion engine and fuel tanks. Runs on a set burn time of 30 minutes

• ** The fusion is self sustaining, the power requirement comes from the ignition of the burn

Power Generation

The root of all systems on the ship stems to the power generation area of the ship. Stemming from the nuclear reactor, both electrical and thermal power are drawn, and proceed to power the rest of the ship. Every single piece of equipment uses the reactor in some way, no matter how insignificant. However, not all methods of generating power are made equal, and equates to how powerful the reactor is, how hot it is running, and how much of that power is directly drawn for power generation.

Reactor Core

The reactor core is what directly generates the energy, and is measured in gigawatts of thermal power. This energy is later used by the turbines, MPDGs, RCS & Torch thrusters, as well as plasma throwers. The temperature can also be tuned to be ±1,000 degrees Kelvin off of the default 3,500K.

Reactor Cores

Name	Thermal power (GW)	Operating temperature (degrees K)	Failure point (degrees K)	Mass (kg)	Cost (E$)	Notes
4x SO6 fuel rod	4	3,500	4,500	2,000	80,000

Nakamura Dynamics Yama-SSR16S	50	3,000	4,500	6,000	1,500,000	Not fittable on the Kitsune

Ultracapacitors

The ultracapacitors exist to provide a backup supply of energy in the event that the power draw of the ship is temporarily greater than what is being produced to prevent immediate shutdown. Shutdown can still occur if the ultracapacitors are drained.

Ultracapacitors

Name	Capacity (MJ)	Peak Power Discharge (GW)	Mass (kg)	Cost (E$)
Ultracapacitor	500	10	2,000	25,000
Dual Ultracapacitor	1,000	10	4,000	55,000
Triple Ultracapacitor	1,500	10	6,000	90,000

Turbines

Turbines are the main generation unit of electrical power on a ship. They draw remass to be brought through the reactor, taking thermal energy in the process, and expelled to spin the turbines. The temperature of the reactor can play a part in how effective the generation is (a difference of 1,000 degrees K will produce a generation difference of ±50%.)

Turbines

Name	Nominal power generation (MW)	Propellant consumption (kg/s)	Mass (kg)	Cost (E$)
Turbine	100	0.1	500	30,000
Twin Turbine	200	0.2	1,000	60,000
Military-grade Turbine	500	0.5	5,000	150,000

Auxiliary Power System

An auxiliary power system is an extra unit to aide with either the generation or storage of power. Using either MPDG (Magnetoplasmadynamic generator) or SMES (Superconductive magnetic energy storage) tech to respectively produce and store electrical power.

MPDGs are a good solution to providing extra generation when running a lot of power-hunrgy equipment, and the decently low mass has made many captains prefer to run one instead of a heavier turbine to save on some mass, at a bit of an extra cost.

MPDG Auxiliary Power System

Name	Power draw (MW)	Thermal draw (GW)	Nominal power generation (MW)	Mass (kg)	Cost (E$)
MPD5035	50	0.5	350	2,500	300,000
EIBFG MkIV Big Furnace Generator	100	1	700	4,000	500,000
MPI Town-class MPDG	150	1.5	1,000	8,000	800,000

SMES units replace the ultracapacitor's general function, and can hold significantly more power than a standard ultracapacitor at the cost of being less reliable.

SMES Auxiliary Power System

Name	Capacity (MJ)	Charge power draw (MW)	Peak Power Discharge (GW)	Mass (kg)	Cost (E$)
NDAPS	18,000	100	3	1,000	400,000
MPI Town-class storage	32,000	150	3	2,000	800,000
EIUP MkII Unlimited Power	50,000	200	6	3,500	1,200,000

StarCAT Stellarator Fusion Reactor

The one outlier for reactor and power generation lies within the Elon Interstellar Model E. This ship holds a newer type of reactor, using fusion instead of fission to push out the power needed, as well as holding unprecedented capacity for power generation. The reactor's unique liquid iron droplet radiator ensures that the reactor cannot undergo meltdown, however do note that excessive use outside nominal conditions will cause damage to the reactor, however this can be partly mitigated with the additional use of an Auxiliary Power System.

However, given that it's a recent ship model to hit the market, Elon Interstellar requires that any repairs be handled by their own professional mechanics, which sticks with no ability to upgrade the core and fees that will dig into the richest ringa's pockets.

Fusion Reactors

Name	Nominal power generation (MW)	Thermal generation (GW)
StarCAT Stellarator	1,500	100

Cargo Bay

The cargo bay holds a decent number of accessories that can be added to improve the mining experience.

A baffle system can be added that provides a bit of aide with keeping objects within the ship's cargo bay, at the cost of 2,000 E$. This can be helpful for newer captains who are still getting used to the ship, and don't want to worry about an accidental spillage of the cargo bay's contents.

The other options supplied are Mineral Processing Units (MPUs), which remove the water content (in most models, repurposed into reaction mass) and refine the ore chunks to store within the ship itself. Each ship comes with a predefined amount of processed mineral that it can hold, which can be expanded with the use of cargo containers. Each MPU has different capabilities, with no singular one being better than the others.

Mineral Processing Units

Name	Processing capacity (kg/s)	Power draw (MW/chunk)	Mineral processing efficiency (% of ore mass)	Remass processing efficiency (% of water mass)	Produces consumables?	Mass (kg)	Cost (E$)
Rusatom-Antonoff MPU	20	2	40%	40%	No	1,700	350,000
Nakamura MPU	50	25	70%	30%	No	4,200	500,000
Mitsudaya-Starbus MSU	100	150	90%	N/A	No	2,500	900,000
Voyager RSLS Fabrication Plant	40	20	50%	60%	Yes, uses 70 MW	6,000	1,500,000

• The Rusatom-Antonoff MPU covers most of the cargo bay in most ships, making it the easiest to refine ores with
• The Voyager RSLS Fabrication Plant can print nanodrones (4kg iron to 1kg platinum) and mass driver ammo (9kg iron to 1 kg vanadium) using their respective parts

Autopilot

The autopilot allows for a pilot to more easily pilot the ship by having the computer do a lot of the hard work with the finer adjustments to thrusters. They also can aide with the use of certain aspects of thrusters not always accessible to the pilot during manual flight.

Each of the respective autopilot components are described here:

• ARL - Antipodal Reaction Limiter - Cancels out opposing thrusters, allowing for fuel conservation.
• AAT - Adaptive Angular Thrust - Observes cargo mass shifts and thruster damage to compute the minimum thrust required for manoeuver.
• RTC - Rotational Thrust Computation - Dynamically computes the most performant thrusters to perform any manoeuver.
• FBW - Fly By Wire - Routes all manual thruster input through the autopilot.
• Can use gimbaled main drives efficiently - Allows the autopilot to use gimballing or thrust vectoring on the main torch(es)

Many of these require FBW to be enabled to use on manual piloting. The last option can be somewhat misleading, as autopilots can use gimbaled RCS thrusters regardless of the option.
