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$, thought this price can change depending on the market.
To store ammunition, a Projectile magazine must be installed onto the ship. Each magazine has 2 stats a captain needs consider. Storage refers to how much ammunition a ship can carry. Delivery refers to how many kilograms a second the storage system can supply to weapons. If the combine fire rate of all the Mass Drivers on the ship exceed its delivery, the driver's rate-of-fire will be limitted to the delivery rate.
Without a mass driver, it is recommended to seal the magazine due to the redundant weight of bringing ammo that cannot be used.
Name | Price (E$) | 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 some magazines, such as Frigate & Destroyer-class, will require bigger ships to be able to install.
