-===Introduction===
+#REDIRECT[[Bussard Collectors]]
-Bussard collectors are used to collect [[deuterium]] from a [[deuterium nebula]].  The collectors use [[EPS]] from a vessel to collect the deuterium.
-==Space Sectors==
-Bussard collectors can be used in both a [[sparse deuterium nebula]] and a [[dense deuterium nebula]].  The sparse nebula has a deuterium density of three, whereas a dense nebula has a density of five; this means that 40% more deuterium will be collected in a dense deuterium nebula.
-==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]]).
