Fuel costs for jumps are typically 0.1 M / Jn in Resource Points, where M is the tonnage of the ship.

So a 200 ton Free Trader will consume 40 Resource Points for a 2 parsec jump.

A civilian ship will almost always have fuel capacity for two times its maximum jump capability.

Ships can refuel for free from oceans or gas giants. However this requires a successful Pilot roll and a Craft (Engineering) roll for processing the fuel. Inhabited Worlds are unlikely to allow free use of their oceans, except possibly ocean worlds.

A jump takes one standard week, regardless of distance. A ship can typically jump safely twice per month. ideally each jump requires a week's down time in dock afterwards. Pushing this rate requires a successful Craft (Engineering) roll. If the roll is failed the ship will start to take damage.

Docking fees for a ship are typically 0.01 M per week in Resource Points.

Insurance costs for a ship are typically 0.01M per month in Resource Points.
