Thread: Whats a good energy installation?
Fusion Ion Generators, no questions asked.
Wind: BER up to 9, PE as good as always under 500
Solar: BER up to 8, PE sometimes a tad over 500
Fusion: BER up to 14, PE as good as always +500 on class 1, class 7 can easily reach +900
(Energy / unit of resource = PE/500, if PE < 500 then it is 1 energy / unit)
Are there any factors to look for when placing one ? Thanks in advance,

Well, you want it to be on a high concentration of radioactives so go survey
oh,and usually a higher PE = higher class, so class 5 radioactives would have more PE than class 4.
If you are uncertain of how good the resource is, you can either sample it (beware, hurts you) or go to http://www.swgcraft.com and check what kind of radioactives are aviable on your Galaxy, on which planet, how long it has stayed there and so on (not guaranteed to be 100% correct, but it often is)

Aaah thanks, so it depends on radioactive materials. I am going to experiment with it ![]()

You hand sampled a level 7 radioactive?
Bet you don't need to use your personal light anymore.

WRONG!
If you have a energy with 1000 PE, it will give you 2 units of energy for every unit of resource (1000 units of radioactive would be 2000 units of power)
To find out how much power you get per unit you can use this formula:
PE/500
If the answer is less than one, it becomes one (in other words, all PE from 1 to 500 is worth 1 unit of power/unit of resource
He's right man, class 7 is the godsend of radioactive ... and it's all we have on tarquinas right now
