	I believe these rates are per half hour. Should we change them to per hour, so they can be compared to the tables for repairing and rearming? Either way, we should add a caption saying the rates are per half hour (or per hour). [[User:Spike\|Spike]] 15:11, 4 July 2009 (EDT)		I believe these rates are per half hour.

			:IMO, for casual players the relevant information is "time to fully refuel", not "refuel rate per half-hour". Afterall, what exactly does a "8.33% rate" means in practice? That column in its current form is meaningless. [[User:MestreLion\|MestreLion]] ([[User talk:MestreLion\|talk]]) 14:57, 25 June 2014 (EDT)

Refueling rate

New page

The refueling rates are not a percentage but a fixed amount: "standard" fuel crafts have 50 fuel units added each step, while elerium fueled crafts have 5 fuel units added (corresponding to 1 elerium unit removed in the base) each step.
