1) Do ramscoops kill people if they are in the same fleet as a pop transport or does it only happen if they are on the same ship as the pop?

2) Where can I find a list of the effect of the different engines on battle speed? I've looked in the manual but can't find it there.

Yes.

Check Tech browser - engines - the warp speed number in dark blue color. Number 6 blue means combat speed 1, 7 combat speed 1.25 etc.

Thanks. I found the blue number - it's pretty close in colour to the black ones.

The Radiating Hydro-Ram Scoop (aka RadRam) will kill a percentage of people traveling in the same fleet, as the helpfile states. It's the only ramscoop engine with that inconvenient. Shocked

You may have to search older posts either here in the Academy or in the old rec.games.computer.stars Usenet group. Here's one small post I made about deducing engine battle speed from their fuel usage tables:

So many Stars, so few Missiles!

In space no one can hear you scheme! Deal
