Ramscoops

Apparently, all you need is a very localized gravity field surrounding your manoeuvre drive.

Having established that, all you need to know is minimum acceleration, or just speed, to collect the free radical hydrogen molecules.

If heard reference to those but don't have the rules. They are supposed to be pretty power hungry though.

If they're anything like the (EXOTIC TECHNOLOGY - MAY NOT EXIST IN A TU) Gravity Well Generators I wonder if that setup PLUS a Ramscoop is going to be worth it? Especially compared to the simpler approach of speeding up, jumping, and collecting for jump two?

If you're stuck in the middle of nowhere, yes.

If it's just pinching pennies, probably not.
