Mark II 150 Kg 250 Cr 1 Old Civilian
Mark III 75 Kg 1500 Cr 2,X Old Military
Mark IV 100 Kg 500 Cr 1 Standard Civilian

Note: These fuel cells are made for starfighter-scale starships.
** NUMBER OF FUEL CELLS CARRIED **
STARFIGHTERS
Take the consumables rating, convert it into days (if it isn't
already), and multiply by two to get the number of fuel cells
carried. A starfighter is designed to use only military fuel
cells, and it would be difficult to use civilian fuel cells
instead of military.
Example: X-Wing
consumables: 1 week = 7 days
7 * 2 = 14 cells
LIGHT FREIGHTERS
Most stock light freighters have 50 fuel cells, but the actual
number depends upon class, so there is no fixed rule.
A light freighter is designed to use only civilian fuel cells,
but can easily be modified to use military grade fuel cells.
To find out how many fuel cells a freighter has, convert the
consumables number to days and divide by 1.2
Example 1: Lando's ship the Lady Luck
consumables: 1 month = 30 days
30 / 1.2 = 25 cells
Example 2: Rebel Transport
consumables: 6 months = 180 days
180 / 1.2 = 150 cells
** RECHARGING FUEL CELLS **
CHARGING RATE, STARPORT COST PER CELL
Trickle (1 cell/day) 5 Cr
Standard (1 cell/hour) 10 Cr
Fast (5 cells/hour) 50 Cr
Emergency (20 cells/hour) Varies*
* They're not actually recharging the cells: they're replacing the
depleted cells with previously-charged cells of the same model.
Note: Military starports double all recharging rates, but the cost
is tripled.

out-system, to fully recharge all of the ships fuel cells.
