'''Energy Travel Cost''' (sometimes called '''Flight Cost''') refers to the amount of [[Main Energy|energy]] used to fly one sector in [[open space]]. Costs can sometimes vary greatly as some types of [[:Category:Stellar Cartography|stellar fields]] have double, or even triple flight costs.

General Formula: Total Journey Cost = Number of Fields Travelled × Flight Cost

For example a [[DY-500|DY-500 Class]] colonisation ship has a flight cost of 0.6. Therefore if it travelled through 10 sectors of open space the total journey cost would be 0.6x10 so 6 energy would be used. However if these 10 sectors contained 3 [[Sparse Deuterium Nebulas]] (which have double flight cost) and one [[Dense Deuterium Nebula]] (which have triple flight cost) the total journey cost would be:

(3 × 2 × 0.6) + (1 × 3 × 0.6) + (6 × 1 × 0.6) = 9

Entering or leaving orbit of a planet costs 1/10th of a ships flight cost

===Overdrive===
''Main Article: [[Overdrive]]''

Once ships go over their standard [[Flight Range]] and begin to use overdrive their flightcosts doubles and then increases exponentially for every sector travelled.
