A '''Hyperspace Scoop''' is a piece of Logistics equipment that can be attached to the bow of the ship. It will collect [[Hyperspace Isotopes]] during [[FTL jump]]s, and sit idle the rest of the time. This should be connected via [[pipe]] to a [[tank]] so that the output isn't quickly [[:Category:Equipment#Blocked|blocked]] during jumps.

~~As of Alpha 14, the scoop will frequently be in an "Output blocked" state during a jump, despite being connected to adequate tanks. This causes the average~~ power usage ~~during a jump to be closer to 25~~ MW~~. The~~ scoop~~'s displayed output rate~~ will ~~flicker~~ between 50 and 0.5 isotopes per second~~, but will effectively be 29 per second~~.

Average power usage is less than the 100 MW max because the scoop will fluctuate between collecting 50 and 0.5 isotopes per second during the jump.
