How long, in your mind, will the final refueling process take? Of course it depends on the size of the tanks, but are we talking about minutes or hours?

It's depending on the tank size. So, for example, we balanced it so that the Gladius right now, with the standard nozzle and the standard fuel ports, is roughly 40 seconds. So that is like the ship that we expect to use this mechanic the most. And if you want to refuel an 890 Jump, it will take its time because it has giant tanks, and it's not something that we can magically increase the number of, because we want to stick to a certain reality there in the sense that the pipe has a certain diameter and it can only withstand a certain pressure, and therefore we have this flow rate there as a mechanic, and bigger ships will take longer to refuel.

Still very much in the minutes, not hours.
