Power Plants

Power Plants

Components:

The main components of Power Plants are Power Plant Technology, Power vs Efficiency, Internal Armour Rating, and Size.

Power Plant Technology:

Power Plant Technology increases the amount of power produced per hullsize but also increases the cost of that system as you use higher technology versions. (Note numbers below for 1 hs power plant.)--Journier 00:20, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Power Plant Technology	Power	Cost
Pressurised Water Reactor	2	6
Pebble Bed Reactor Technology	3	9
Gas-Cooled Fast Reactor Technology	4.5	14
Stellarator Fusion Reactor Technology	6	18
Tokamak Fusion Reactor Technology	8	24
Magnetic Confinement Fusion Reactor Technology	10	30
Inertial Confinement Fusion Reactor Technology	12	36
Solid-core Anti-matter Power Plant Technology	16	48
Gas-core Anti-matter Power Plant Technology	20	60
Plasma-core Anti-matter Power Plant Technology	24	72
Beam Core Anti-matter Power Plant Technology	32	96
Vacuum Energy Power Plant Technology	40	120

Power vs Efficiency:

Power vs Efficiency increases or decreases power output, in exchange for a decrease or increase in fuel efficiency and explosion chance. The Higher your efficiency the lower the cost, the higher the Power produced, the higher the cost.

Internal Armour Rating:

This is how much armour you have on the Power plants, Internal armour adds 50% to the Hullsize to the component.

Size:

Size of Power plants increases the product of said Power Plants above by the multiple you select. Selections up to 30 are available.
