| Nozzle | H₂ flow | QT flow | Integrity | This transfer |

Flow rates are CIG's own published figures, read from the client's item descriptions rather than community estimates. Only three nozzles are named in Alpha 4.10 — five further nozzle records exist in the datacore but are unreleased and publish no flow rate, so they are not listed. Times assume an uninterrupted transfer at the rated speed and exclude approach and docking.
Not yet confirmed against the live game. Tank sizes and flow rates both come straight from the client files, but nobody has stopwatched a real transfer to check that the game runs at the published rate. Small hulls come out startlingly quick — an Avenger Titan's tank is 0.8 SCU, under a second at full flow — so treat the absolute times as provisional and the ranking between nozzles as the solid part. If you have timed a fill, tell us what you measured and we will correct it.
| Pod | Capacity | Flow × | Integrity | This transfer |
|---|
The pod is the other half of the rig. The nozzle sets a base rate; the pod both carries the fuel and multiplies that rate. So the choice is a real trade between how much you can deliver in one trip and how fast it moves — the Stor*All pods hold the most but flow at under half speed, while Shubin's Nemec is both the fastest and the largest of the quick pods.
Capacities here come from the item records, not the item descriptions. The same Alpha 4.10 pass that shrank ship fuel tanks also shrank the pods — but CIG never updated their in-game description text, which still advertises roughly double. The Gargant reads “24 SCU” in its tooltip and holds 12.4; the GSX-EX reads 32 and holds 16.8. We show what the game actually runs on.
Alpha 4.10 cut hydrogen tank capacity across 157 hulls, by a median factor of about 5× and far more at the top end: the Idris went from 6,400 SCU to 59.8, the Starfarer from 652 to 32.1, the Polaris from 1,100 to 58.8. An Avenger Titan now holds 0.8 SCU where it held 4.5. That rescale is why fills look so much quicker than they used to, and it is why any fuel figure you saw before this patch — here or anywhere else — is wrong by somewhere between five and a hundred times. Every number on this page is read from the Alpha 4.10 client.
