ships help: Space Scooper
Backstory
Some space journeys can take months, if not years, and everything has its limits. Starship batteries are no exception to this universal rule. Many voyages have ended in failure, either because they couldn't be completed due to a lack of energy or because captains were too afraid to venture into the unknown, unsure how long their trip would last.
For this very reason, Kaelion Dark Green Scale once found himself in a heated argument with the captain of a starship he was travelling on. Determined to solve the issue, he delved into scientific investigation, eventually forming a team of enthusiastic researchers to tackle the problem.
After three decades of relentless research and countless trials, a loud rumble echoed through the science corps facility where Kaelion worked. This was followed by the unveiling of a large, bulky, spoon-like device.
Operating on the principles of stellar energy conversion and particle harvesting, this device was capable of gathering endless amounts of renewable energy and transferring it to any battery connected to it.
"Stars emit a continuous spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, from infrared to gamma rays," the dragon explained. "The space scooper uses a layered collection array of energy-sensitive materials to absorb photons from this radiation. These absorbed photons excite electrons within the array, generating an electric current through the photoelectric effect. As the ship approaches a star, the density of photons increases, exponentially improving the efficiency of energy collection."
He continued: "Solar wind, consisting of charged particles like protons and electrons, flows outward from stars. The space scooper is equipped with electromagnetic field generators that create a funnel-like structure to channel these particles into collection chambers. Once captured, the kinetic energy of these particles is converted into electricity using advanced magnetohydrodynamic generators."
"But what if there are no stars?" asked a member of the audience.
"Even in deep space, far from stars, there are low levels of residual radiation and cosmic particles. The scooper employs highly sensitive quantum detectors to extract energy from these sources. While less efficient than direct stellar harvesting, this system ensures a continuous trickle of power in starless regions."
And so How do I use it?
Very simple! Every modern starship is equipped with this device. While it may look like a spoon, we call it the space scooper for formal purposes. If your ship runs low on charge while you're far out in space, just type 'scoop'. This will extend the scooper from one of your starship's portholes and initiate a slow but reliable recharging process.
The closer your starship is to a star, the faster it will recharge - or so Ive been told! It's up to you to explore and investigate further. But dont forget - the command is SCOOP!
NOTE: Once your scooper has been extended, you must type "recharge" to initiate the charging process. If you would like to abort, simply type "recharge" again or type "scoop" to retract your scooper, which will automatically abort the recharging process.
