As of Alpha 14, the scoop may be in an "Output blocked" state during a jump, despite being connected to tanks that aren't full. This appears to be reduced by having more tanks connected (tank size does not appear to matter). This causes average power usage to be less than the 100 MW max.
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.

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 jumps, and sit idle the rest of the time. This should be connected via pipe to a tank so that the output isn't quickly blocked during jumps.

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.
