Actually *does* nothing. Just a balance reminder for myself - the flux vent rate is generally 8/6/5/4% of the capacity, depending on hull size (smaller = vent faster). The value in that column is what the capacity would be if it were based solely on that.

Yep :) Same with the "range" column, in light years - that's autocomputed based on fuel and fuel/ly.
