Im on Ahazi, im confused as to why a BER 14 fusion comes out to an actual rate of approx. 0.43
Is this normal? Doesit matter where you out the fusion gen?

Yes, you have to put it on a high concentration of radioactives.
Basically BER x Concentration = Units extracted per minute.
On a 100% concentration, you'd pull 14 units per min.
On a 50%, you'd pull 7.
I've always thought the term "fusion generator" was a misnomer since it does not actually generate power.
It should be more correctly called a "radioactive harvester"

Hehe!
The Fusion Generator has always been a pet peeve of mine. Fusion doesn't use radioactives in the really real world. It'd make a lot more sense for it to be on a vein of Water (which is a whole 'nother rant) to get heavy water (deuterium) or on a gas vein to get He3. Both of those elements would serve nicely in a fusion plant. Radioactives (heavy elements) do well in a fission plant, like our nuclear power plants.
But this is SWG. Maybe in the SWG world fusion works off of heavy elements. /shrug
