Ship Functions

Bussard Collectors are a basic ship component which allow the collection of Deuterium. The Bussard collector will has a capacity of using up a limited amount of energy, but under certain circumstances, the amount of Deuterium collected will be greater than the amount of energy used. In a Sparse Deuterium Nebula normal Bussard Collectors will absorb 3 units of Deuterium for each unit of energy spent. In a Dense Deuterium Nebula each unit of energy spent will collect 5 Deuterium. In normal space collectors without enhancement will not work. Enhanced collectors on certain ship have a (+/- X) (X being an integer). Indus class ships have (+1) enhancement, which means that for every unit of energy an additional unit of Deuterium will be absorbed. Some heavier ships, with proper defense and collectors, like Grodts have a reduced efficiency, the Grodt having an efficiency of (-1) and Amaterasu class carriers having an efficiency of (-2).

Deuterium Collectors

There are some ship classes whose sole purpose is the use of their bussard collectors to collect deuterium; these vessels are known as deuterium (deut) collectors. These ships generally have a lage cargo bay (to store the collected deuterium) as well as larger than normal (for their size) EPS and energy storage (to collect the deuterium). Common deuterium collectors include the Indus, Kale, and Rigel. The DY-500, while not technically a deuterium collector, is the best colonist deuterium collectors in the game (for its slots).
