Probably the same 1D6 hours as using the scoops at the friendly neighborhood help yourself fuel stop, AKA the gas giant :lol:

I doubt such an operation will be consistent. See real life.phavoc said:Pg147 – Fuel: It should be listed how long it takes to refuel using scoops from a starport, from a gas giant and from landing in water. Might even say how long it takes to fuel at a starport with hoses and some guy pumping the hydrogen into your tanks (and do you tip?)
I'm not a fan of equality, symmetry, or homogeneousness.
Certainly the time to refill (per ton) at a starport is going to be very relevant to most players.
"How long 'til we leave?"
"We won't be fully fueled for 2 hours"
"When will we have enough for a Jump-1?"
Wilderness refueling would probably be more restricted by fuel processor throughput.

I agree. Like when the players land and they get into a, ah, 'disagreement' with the locals at a non-imperial starport and the Captain (let's call him "Mal") comes screaming back up to the ship unexpectedly, with the aforementioned locals on the horizon, and the engineer/pilot (who always have to stay withe ship) get asked "how soon can we lift off?".
And, let's say you are refueling in a gas giant and you need to know how long you have to be in there because the captain casually mentions he wants to give you an ear(ful) that he's got a deadline to be somewhere or he's dead.
Knowledge saves lives! And fuel. Fuel and knowledge saves lives!
