The Cobol Class Research is equipped with a simple Ram Scoop as a part of its hull design. The Ram Scoop will produce 2 KT of Neutronium per light year traveled by the starship. So if the Cobol traveled ten light years it would generate 20 KT of fuel. So in theory, if it used less than 20 KT of fuel to go that 10 light years the starship would experience a net gain in fuel.
The amount of fuel that the Cobol can scoop can be adjusted by the host to any thing from 0kt to 4kt per light year.
The Cobol Class does not scoop fuel when it is on an intercept mission, being towed or towing
another ship.
(Only works with HOST Version 3.20 or Better)
