Interesting. Will they refuel more quickly in places like Stars and/or Gas Giants? I am assuming you will be using the Advent ability to transfer Antimatter.

They will not need antimatter for their own abilities (only refueling) but will rapid generate it in an AoE based on the tanker level and when in a plasma storm or within refuel range of a gas giant.  They are capital ships.

Their own antimatter regeneration rate is zero--they can only tank up at a suitable system or a star (I forgot stars) and they will have a large capacity for storage.

The fact that they are prone to blow up and cause area damage makes them risky to have in combat near a fleet.  The refuel range will also be their death damage range.

The ships above are modifications of the unused vanilla Sins refinery ship for the Advent, an enlarged and "winged" Vasari refinery ship and one of the robotic ship meshes attached to part of a phase inhibitor for the TEC.

The concept is these ships are ramscoops that siphon hydrogen, helium and methane from planets and stars by dipping into their atmospheres.

So they'll lose lots of AM via jumping then?

if they explode.... so you don't use them in combat... what stops you simply using them on suicide runs?

think you also need to mess with the Base Antimatter of current ships, most ships will regen there full antimatter before you can jump this more than a few jumps.  Esp Advent with 10 or so Disc vessels giving am

eg increase the AM on every ship by 300% and decrease regen by 300%
