Cargo Bay: Difference between revisions

(added info on processing areas and what will process. made first work with galleries for specific ships. my goal is to have every unique cargo bay shape documented with every bay equipment (some variants like normal and modified titans will have the same, make notes for those))

Revision as of 07:10, 20 August 2024

There are a number of modifications that can be installed in the Cargo Bay, one being a convenience feature, and four being material processing units (hereby referred by their acronym, MPUs). MPUs process ore chunks into a powdered form. allowing them to be stored internally as processed ore, removing their volume from the cargo bay, but at the cost of not converting the chunk into powder with the 100% efficiency of Enceladus. Most MPU models also provide remass recovery, allowing part of the water content of an ore chunk to be put into the propellant tank of the ship.

MPUs will not process anything that isn't an ore chunk or ringroid that enters the bay, regardless of their volatility or mineral content (lifepods, dead bodies, spent mass driver rounds, serenity torbernite crystals, etc.)

The galleries for the MPUs will have the approximate processing areas marked in red. Any ore chunks in these areas will be processed.

Cargo bay baffles

Price: 2,000 E$

These spring-mounted cargo bay baffles prevent accidental loss of cargo during deceleration.

Some ships with more odd cargo bay configurations will have a different baffle design and configuration to most ships.

Rusatom-Antonoff MPU

Price: 350,000 E$

Processing capacity: 20 kg/s
Power draw: 2 MW / chunk
Mineral processing efficiency: 40%
Remass processing efficiency: 40%
Mass: 1,700 kg
Manufacturer: Rusatom-Antonoff

The Rusatom-Antonoff Mineral Processing Unit uses reactor heat to sublimate water content out of a large cargo volume, so that mineral content can be collected and stored. Evaporated water is collected via a cryo-ring, and can be reprocessed into propellant. This MPU boasts minimal power consumption and excellent processing reach, but the heating process is inefficient, and much of the cargo and water is lost during processing.

User Manual

Converts ore chunks into processed ore.
Replenishes propellant.
Requires ore to be in the processing chamber.
Processes multiple ore chunks simultaneously.
Power requirements and processing speed listed per chunk.
Processed ore stored in separate containers, with capacity limited per mineral type.

Processing capacity: 50 kg/s
Power draw: 25 MW / chunk
Mineral processing efficiency: 70%
Remass processing efficiency: 30%
Mass: 4,200 kg
Manufacturer: Nakamura Dynamics

Nakamura Dynamics' Mineral Processing Unit uses microwaves to sublimate the ice out of cargo and stores it in compact containers. Evaporated water is collected via a cryo-ring, and can be reprocessed into propellant.

Mitsudaya-Starbus MSU

Price: 900,000 E$

Processing capacity: 100 kg/s
Power draw: 150 MW / chunk
Mineral processing efficiency: 90%
Remass processing efficiency: n/a
Mass: 2,500 kg
Manufacturer: Mitsudaya-Starbus

The Mitsudaya-Starbus Mineral Smelting Unit is made for efficient mineral processing, regardless of the energy cost. It uses a combination of laser-cutting and directed microwave beams to efficiently disassemble any mineral chunk. Remass recovery is not available in this unit.

Voyager RSLS Fabrication Plant

Price: 1,500,000 E$

Processing capacity: 40 kg/s
Power draw: 20 MW / chunk
Print power draw: 70 MW
Printing capability: drones, ammunition
Mineral processing efficiency: 50%
Remass processing efficiency: 60%
Mass: 6,000 kg
Manufacturer: Nakamura-Obonto

Designed for long range research vessels, the Voyager fabricator sacrifices cargo space to fit a fabricator inside the cargo bay, with a series of cryo-rings providing excellent propellant reclamation. This combined Mineral Processing / Rapid Selective Laser Sintering Unit by Nakamura Dynamics and Obonto Micro Engineering can resupply vanadium-hardened iron ammunition, or disposable nanodrones that use a platinum mirror array in an iron frame.
