MgT HG Captial Ship Design Question 1

[snrdg121408]

Hello everyone,

There appears to be a conflict between the Spacecraft options for Chemical Power Plant fuel, p. 42, and the Capital Ship Design Chemical Power Plant fuel, p. 64, requirements.

The Chemical plant option, HG pdf p. 42, states:

Chemical power plants: A chemical power plant is 40% bigger than its fusion equivalent, costs MCr 1.25 per ton and requires 20 times the amount of fuel for the same endurance.

While the capital ship design sequence on p. 64 states:

Power plant fuel depends on the tonnage of the plant. For fusion plants an amount of fuel equal to two thirds of the tonnage of the power plant will power the starship for two weeks. For example, a 3,000–ton power plant would consume 2,000 tons of fuel in two weeks of operation. For chemical plants, this figure is 15 times larger.

Have I missed something again?

Nope, it is an error.

Pick one and go with it.
