Rules question here:<br /><br />if you needed to use masking screen "fuel" for ion engines how much fuel would you get out of that?<br /><br />some examples:<br /><br />1: HS6 research vessel designed with ion engines instead of atomics and with masking screen for defense (though its also intended that MS water is for extended range fueling the ion engines) Masking screens must create a cloud of ice particles to protect the whole ship thus the larger the ship the more water required for one masking screen "shot" so how to equate a MS shot by hull size into fuel?<br /><br />2: freighter crew is low on fuel and they are closing on a wreck/derelict with a MS and intend to raid the water for fuel, they'll need to carry some parabatteries over to connect to the water tank heaters and melt the ice then string a pumping hose between ships and drain the tank dry.
