Couple of mechanics questions

[Saibot (OP)]

Are all passive sensors military, or is it based on the size and power like engines?

How do I see the capacity and current fuel of a civilian fuel harvester?

What should I look at when trying to make different ships compatible so I can use the minimum number of shipyards?

1. I think the cut-off is size 1 or lower is civilian.

2. Without dev mode, you don't.

3. The second class needs to be less than 20% cost for refit. So one that costs 1000 and one that costs 800 should be able to be built in a yard tooled for the 1000 one.

You can actually see this in the task group window if the task group box is checked with a fuel harvester in the system.



I've just taken 90% of Atkinson 12's fuel.

You can get fuel from them, but without digging around you cannot see how much they have on hand or anything.

Actually you can.  It is listed on the Civilian screen where it lists all their ships that I cant remember exactly what it is called.

Good to know. I mostly ignore them

And the fuel summary screen.
