Scout Ship Economics


SCOUT SHIP MAINTENANCE COSTS

Fuel

Fuel Tanks = 32 tons

4 tons for standard operations for 30 days (no interplanetary/interstellar travel)

14 tons needed per one-parsec jump.

Unrefined fuel: Cr3200 (Cr100/ton)

Refined Fuel: Cr16,000 (Cr500/ton)

If no jumps or interplanetary jaunst are undertaken, the ship can operate normally for 8 months without refueling.  Under strict power rationing, can operate for over 12 months or so.

Life Support

Life Support Cost

Cr2000 per person per month

--Includes consumables like water, food, air, etc as well as recycling equipment and filters

--Scout Ship's normal capacity: 4 crew/passengers designed for; 8 considered safe maximum. Going beyond this limit may unduly stress life support systems and may lead to break downs and malfunctions.

Berthing Costs (standard for starports)

Cr100 for the first 7 days; Cr100 for each day afterward.

Crew Salaries (NPCs)

2 x Enginner-1 Cr8000/month (Cr4000 each)

Annual Maintenance

Must be performed at decent maintenance facility (typically Starport types A,B, or C)

Cr34,000
