Composition (tank)

Composition (supports)

Propellant tanks are the vessels used to store propellant, which thrusters use to produce force. They come in a variety of sizes, and are constructed of the propellant tank and two structural supports, which also provide socket access to the propellant tank itself. These support pieces also have one modular device interface per piece, and the propellant tank can also convey other resources if the tank is placed in-line with a pipe network.

Basic information

Propellant tanks do not usually require regular maintenance.
They are placed in a ship with either one or two support pieces, connected to the ship's thrusters with a pipe tool, and replaced when empty or refueled at a station.
The small, medium and large tanks hold 1.5, 5, and 12 million units of propellant respectively.
Full propellant tanks cost 48000, 160000, and 378000 credits respectively in Spaceship Designer.
Propellant tanks with propellant inside explode when damaged.
