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. | A '''Hyperspace Scoop''' is a piece of Logistics equipment that can be attached to the bow of the ship.

As of Alpha 14, the scoop will frequently be in an "Output blocked" state during a jump. 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. | As of Alpha 14, the scoop will frequently be in an "Output blocked" state during a jump, despite being connected to adequate tanks.
