Solar Wind Flux

Solar Wind Flux only exists within the Strangers World family of OXPs.

The solar flux emitted by a star can be collected as fuel if one's ship is equipped with Fuel Scoops. The concentration has to be at least 0.1ly/min. Different star types yield different emissions - and the emissions can vary over time.

Seeing the Solar Wind Flux concentration

The Solar Wind Flux concentration can be shown on the Advanced System Data MFD made available by the Strangers World OXPs. You need an ASC.

• You need to (1) select the Advanced System Data MFD (switches between Planetary & Solar Data) (see MFD for details on selection)
• and (2) set it to the solar data version (done by selecting the sun on your ASC).

Alternatively, you can see the value on the Useful MFDs first general MFD without the ASC. At the moment (July 2021) this is buggy.

If the Solar Wind Flux is 0.1/ly or better, it will be scoopable.
