v0.9.9 ramscoop calculation

[space0pilot]

Quick check - is your total ship ramscoop still equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of all the ramscoop outfits e.g. with a couple of fuel processors and a catalytic ramscoop, sqrt (7*7 + 2*2 + 2*2) = 7.55

And secondary question - is ramscoop = fuel/second regained or some other rate please?! So if fuel/second, a ramscoop value of 4 gets you 100 fuel in 25s?

The calculation for fuel gain per frame is:
0.03*sqrt(ramscoop)*(0.2+1.8/(distance to center/1000+1))

Ok got that thanks. If I have multiple ramscoop outfits is total ramscoop value sum of squares?

[Amazinite]

It's the square of the sums, not the sum of the squares. (e.g. sqrt(2 + 2), not sqrt(2) + sqrt(2).)

Thanks!
