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~~.

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.
