As for jump fuel...technically speaking I made that up...but not REALLY. I say that because jump drives increase in size (and power requirement) based on ship SIZE, not ship mass. And it makes sense. A jump drive opens a portal into jumpspace after all...the portal has to be as big as the ship is. Bigger ship = bigger portal = more power. The mass moving through the portal is irrelevant. So I basically extrapolated from mechanical data to arrive at this conclusion, and it's not spelled out explicitly like that in the game's data, but it does make logical sense. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />In game terms this means that a ship always uses the same amount of fuel to enter jumpspace...unless the ship increases its size somehow.)</blockquote>
