"Chief Engineer Tsetsegmaa to the Captain-Baron Reziilka
The engineering team has been focusing on GGRP (Gas Giant Refuel Procedures). We've been working with Astrogator Yune to find which one of the 3 GGs of the system is closer to the Starport - that'll be Sestos VIII. We've been sim' the GGRP on this planet with Chief Pilot Standarsson.
Thus, we respectfully submit the following plan : after refueling 3/4th of our capabilities at the starport, we move to Sestos VIIIs - during the M-Drive journey duration, we could :
- refine enough to jump-2 - thus, testing our refining capabilities
- scan the vicinity of the planet, looking for ToO (Targets of Opportunity)
Once in the atmosphere, we practice the fuel scoop of 1/4th of our tanks for a few [1d6/4? hours - whether we do it slowly, or simulating scooping while in the middle of a battle is up to you.
Thus, we could jump to Mtensc at J+12 at the latest, and arrive there with 2/4th refined fuel in our tanks."
