octacore notes

[deathlyhugs]

maximum altitude; 100ft [with heavy strain]
----higher = more gravity
----lower altitudes = better fuel economy = less mystery!gravity [scouting optimal; 20ft? 30?]
----passengers increase strain/fuel usage

assume cyclonus can operate for 4 days without needing fuel/recharge
assume recharge cycle can vary in length, assume full day is a max cycle
full recharge cycle w/o fuel allows him to go 3 days
then 2
then 1
total 'normal' time without fuel = ~10 days online, ~13 days including recharge cycles
presume he can operate longer, but greatly risks stasis lock

normally operates at standard 16/8 equivalent (probably closer to 20/10)


fuel sources
--energon [processed in to other forms? raw energon unpalatable?]
----engex [canon version of alcohol; likens to fanon highgrade]
----'nightmare fuel' [canon 'potent liquor'; see above]
----kremzeek drink

--oil
-----level of refinement seems to affect how nourishing?

--nucleon

unprocessed coal is NOT able to be consumed
