Everything in the Frontier runs on parabatteries.<br /><br />But how long do they last?<br /><br />We know that each parabattery uses a certain number of SEUs, but what does that even MEAN?<br /><br />For example, let's say that you have an explorer that uses a parabattery. If it is driving across an unexplored planet, how long before it runs out of juice? The book states that all vehicles can travel 1000 km on one parabattery, but how does that translate into time? How long before your robot conks out? How long before that space station experiences a power blackout?<br /><br />How many SEUs are used up in an hour or a day?<br /><br />In my games, I have tried to gloss over this issue, but I'd really just like to have an answer for people.<br /><br />I'd love to hear how others have solved this issue, or if there is an explanation in the books which I have missed.
