For TNE,
Basically Mw is given by the Mj required divided by 1800. Ie the Mj is
stored in the capacitors over a 30 minute period (1800 seconds)
The percentage of the jump drive which is the HPG bank is 35%.
Incidently this will produce the anomaly that higher tech vessels require
more energy not less to achieve jump due to the increasing efficiency of
higher tech HPGs and the fixed volume of the things for a given ship.
For example a TL9 100dt ship capable of jump-1 requires 2% of the volume
28m^3 for the jump drive thus 9.8m^3 of this is the HPG bank. This can hold
98Mj at TL9 but 122.5Mj at TL10 or 280Mj at TL15. Strictly speaking the size
of the drives should be reduced as TL increases. Instead a TL15 Jump-1 100dt
ship uses more than 2.8 times the energy of a TL9 version. Of course the
TL15 vessel should be much safer and ways could be found to justify higher
energy expenditure at higher tech levels.

I read this also however since fuel consumption is the resource used for
Jumping not Electricity I am looking for a MW = how much cubic meter of fuel
at a given tech level thing.
Also I think the HPGm is rated in Mj not MW which seem to not be
interchangeable unless we have a ratio for Mj <-> MW some where?

I have tried to figure this out myself. FF&S states that 30 (or was it 35%)
of the jump drive volume is a HPGm which may store captured energy from the
black globe.

Has haven't done the math to figure out how much MW of power it takes to
initiate a jump 1 at a given TL?
