Customer hails on Comms — match speed within 50m. Tractor-tube extends, transfer at the nozzle’s rated flow (1.05–1.65 SCU/s, multiplied by the pod). Both pilots monitor pressure. Disconnect mid-transfer if attacked.
Alpha 4.10 rescaled hydrogen capacity across 157 hulls (Starfarer 652 → 32.1 SCU), so pre-4.10 load and payout figures no longer apply. Use the Refuel Calculator for current tank sizes and transfer times.
