Wyatt Butler
Elite ships are quite cool, what tonnage do they have? This one seems to be about 80-100t.

This one is a modified Federal Dropship hull, dubbed the Federal Assault Ship.
As its name suggests it sports lower tonnage but greater maneuverability and a higher tiered weapon capacity.
All ships are fully modular, so you could outfit this for freight (but, y'know, don't do that), if you were to forego all sense and fly without shields you could fit in 88 tons of cargo.
-pic related is more of a long range multipurpose ship. 52t cargo capacity

Cute, that long range ship. So if it can fit 88t it must have a bigger tonnage than 100t for sure. How is fuel in the Elite universe? Or are they reactionless thrusters like Traveller.

I threw up in my mouth.
Why would you want to play a "space" game like this?
Aiden Evans
Oh right, you mean like full mass.
The FAS, off the shelf, hull alone weighs 480t, laden it'd weigh 635t ish, though we're trimming all the fat minus cargo space there.
A fully A-rated combat build, with all bells and whistles would weigh just over 800t
All we are told about fuel in-game is that our ships thrusters run on Hydrogen, scooped from the corona of stars. Super vague I know.
Any distance over 150km is traversed by Alcubierre Drive, however. So that is the standard of travel. It's minimum speed is 30km/s and the maximum is several thousand times the speed of light. That's all that is given us on that subject also.
-pic related is the quintessential space trucker's vehicle, Lakon Type 7 Intersellar Freighter.
Sexy as dicks brick shape, shame about the paper thin armour.
