Question about fuel and jump drives

Waltorious · Post by **Waltorious** » Fri Jul 31, 2009 6:09 am

Hello all,

I am preparing myself to make my first really long series of jumps, and I need to make sure I'll have enough fuel. So I was wondering... does the fuel efficiency of my engine affect the amount of fuel consumed per jump? Will I gain anything by downgrading my engine to a more fuel efficient model? Or do I focus everything on a bigger fuel tank?

Thanks!

Bigger fuel tank is alway a good thing to have, provided you don't get the biggest sacrificing speed or agility.

Bigger engine should burn more fuel, but for what I can recall this happens only flying, not when you jump around.

Thanks for the info, Eclipse. You learn something new almost every day ... especially when you're trying to mod EL.
