The [[Sensor_Range|sensor range]] mechanic that is in place for the Jupiter, Eris, Mercury, and Venus space lanes is not active for Outlands subspace lanes. It probably has something to do with the wibbly wobbly timey wimey...subspace lane stuff. | The [[Sensor_Range|sensor range]] mechanic that is in place for the Jupiter, Eris, Mercury, and Venus space lanes is not active for Outlands subspace lanes.

=== Activating Nodes === | |||
A node must be activated by transferring energy cells from your ship's cargo hold to the node. Once started a node will use energy until it enters a lower-power mode again. | |||
==== Energy Start ==== | |||
Each node has its own requirement of how many energy cells are needed to activate it. The number ranges from 1 (very common) to 500 (rare) and in extremely rare cases, the energy cell requirement can reach as high as 5,000. | |||
==== Energy Usage ==== | |||
Once activated, a node will use X number of energy per hour. Typically, a node will use 1 energy per hour. Nodes that have had energy cells transmitted, but have no yet reached the threshold for activation, will not consume energy. | |||
==== Energy Cell to Energy Ratio ==== | |||
Once a node has been activated, additionally submitted energy cells will increase the node's energy reserves by 10. (1:10 ratio) | |||
==== Reputation ==== | |||
One (1) Gemini Station reputation is awarded for each energy cell transferred to a node. | |||
