To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Apologies if this question has been answered elsewhere (although I did search the previous posts and didn't find anything obvious...)
Are Fuel Scoops available for the Eagle LRF? I ask because when I tried to purchase them, I got an "There is no space on your ship" message, even though I had 9T free for a 6T object.
Thanks in advance.
Actually, nevermind. I had a look at the lua file for my ship and I can see the max_fuelscoops bit is set to zero:
{
'Eagle Long Range Fighter',
{ 25*10^5,-62*10^5,15*10^5,-15*10^5,-1*15^5,1*15^5 },
3*10^6,
{
{ v(0,-.7,-40), v(0,0,-1) },
{ v(0,-.7,25), v(0,0,1) },
},
{ 20, 1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1 }, // <-- that zero specifies whether fuelscoops are allowed
20, 5, 3800000,
1
}
}
Once again, looking up the developer wiki saves the day.
Time for a recompile 😉 😀
so that was a small bug g cool
Those settings are set by whoever made the ship originally, so in this case it was Potsmoke66 that created the Eagles.
It was perhaps just a gameplay decision to not allow the eagles to have a fuel scoop. The MkIV is the only Eagle that comes with a fuel scoop ability so I wouldn't call that a bug but rather a decision made by the model creator.
