Here is a basic version of the calculator:

I have other fuel calculators I've made. They include
- multiple trips (including at different warp speeds on different turns, e.g. overdriving engines one turn)
- guessing how much fuel the opponent has on board (based on assumptions about cargo)
- knowing the empty mass of a ship, if you know its weapons. (Can be useful to let you know if a ship is empty of fuel).
In principle, here are things you can determine about a ship, if you know what weapons it has and can observe its mass (e.g. over 2 turns).
- the min/max empty mass a ship class can have
- the empty mass of ship, based on weapons it has
- How much total mass it is carrying (fuel and cargo combined)
- minimum amount of cargo or fuel on board
- maximum amount of cargo or fuel on board
- how far a ship can travel at a given warp speed
- max cargo a ship can carry if traveling a given distance at a given warp speed
- (If you know distance travelled), you can infer his mass before departure
- (if you know mass before departure), you can infer how many kit of fuel/cargo were transferred that turn |
