FM vs QJ5 is 306 (360*.85) vs 900 fuel ratio tavelling at warp 9. So you are going to need to provide 3 times as much fuel. So comparing a maximum trip for a FM LF you would need to use two super fuel xports for each of your QJ5 LFs, effectively doubling the IR cost and 1.5x the resource cost per kt shipped.

Note that such calculation only matters *if* LF need to *travel far* with *lot of cargo* on board and *no refueling* on the way. It is wrong assumption on all accounts if we talk about wide hab AR in dense universe. Laughing

Why to carry above 400kT pop to dock? Rolling Eyes

On one hand dock grows full too fast and on other hand AR has tens of docks to populate with wide hab. With 400kt pop on board fuel mizer LF can fly about 400ly. Shocked

Such range is clearly wasteful since AR dont get to rule 600x600 ly empires early in real game. Confused

Also, I said, I have about 10-15 colonies by LF tech at 2412. Where that LF flies if it cant still get fuel nowhere? Surprised

So ... where is that mystical more iron to pay??? LF cost is about the same as of 2 MFs. IFE AR continue building two MFs per year after year 12 (because it didnt hurry with con 8 ) and IFE-less AR build one LF. The docks are also 16% cheaper to build at con 8. Cool
