How can we help you now?
=> Is this change intended? If so, please share the logic behind the change.

Only carrying an extra 720 refined pentaxid is very limiting given the universe warp ranges. Weight of pentaxid is so high, carrying enough in CV/SV alone not practical for exploration.

CV: When traveling to several star systems back-to-back in the expanded universe, one can burn through a lot of pentaxid.

It’s easy to jump 1000 or more LY visiting multiple systems and burn through 2000 or more pentaxid.

After further reflection, one can carry extra pentaxid in cargo and good CV’s can handle the extra weight. Frequently topping off the pentaxid tank as needed.

However, it was convenient to load 2000 - 3000 in the CV tank and not refill until return to home base and carry another 1000+ weightless in the backpack just in case. It was easy to pull from the backpack (where it’s weight did not slow down ships).

SV at 400 is not so much an issue. But, putting extra pentaxid in SV cargo can seriously reduce SV performance due to mass of pentaxid.

Granted, one can carry up to 720 in backpack. But, it can get used up fast recharging the shields. (Edited to add my email response Rex mentions below)

Forgot to press Enter in the Discord changelog channel.

The reason for this change is that I found out, that with Volume 0, the Station Services don’t work. You couldn’t buy Pentaxid with 0 Volume.

For SVs 400 Pentaxid and for CVs 1200 Pentaxid should be enough for any exploration journey you are looking for though.

What do you mean with not practical?
And for the Explorer Origin Bonus, carrying 250 Pentaxid per day in your backpack should also work.

This is overall an exception to my new Volume Logistic system.
Normally only Commodity items have volume.

I think you replied by email?
I thought I deactivated that… hmm…
Others can’t see your response here.

Yes, that is the reason why structures have containers…

I can reduce the Volume maybe to 0.1 but then it will be quite expensive to refill pentaxid at a Station Service.
Volume = 1 is quite easy to understand and makes it more meaningful to explore and prepare for exploration. I like that.
