Fuel Consumption

The deuterium consumption of a flight mission is calculated per ship and then summed up. Calculated from src/Core/FleetFunctions.php (getFleetConsumption()) — base consumption values per ship and drive level are listed on the respective unit page under "Speed & Fuel Consumption".

Formula (per ship type)

Speed ratio = 35000 / max(flight time * game speed - 10, 1) * sqrt(distance * 10 / ship speed) Base consumption = consumption/h (from the unit page) * number of ships Consumption = base consumption * distance / 35000 * (speed ratio/10 + 1)^2

The consumption values of all ships in the fleet are added together, multiplied by a player-specific honor points bonus, and rounded up (+1) — see Honor Points for the exact discount tiers (up to 20% less fuel with good honor points of your own).

See also Distance for the distance calculation and Flight Time for the flight duration that feeds into this formula.
