Hi kaladorn,

Yes, Joe Fugate Sr. did an article in the Travellers' Digest #13 titled "A MegaTraveller Design Example and Donald McKinney, with approval from Mr. Fugate, revised the article with updates and errata. Unfortunately, I found probable errata in the revised article which I sent to Mr. McKinney before he passed away.

My spreadsheet that blew up was primarily based on the revised article and a reworked MT Referee's Manual design sequence that I created with, I hope, all the errata from my copy of Donald McKinney's MT Consolidated Errata.

I have seen fuel use calculated based on non combat situations.
a) do not count screens or weapons
b) do not charge for comm systems
c) do not include masking, jamming, active sensors,  etc
d) either pro rate your power plant output to the actual power normslly used out of combat or buy two plants -> one for lower draw always used systems and one for combat/alert states to meet added demand and only store fuel for a fraction of overall endurance as most of the time you will not be in combat or at high alert

I think Joe Fugate had examples of some builds using some tricks like these in some Challenge issues.

Hello again,

I realized I made a small error in my first post:

Can anyone please show me how the process works since the only way I've matched 120 days is by having a fuel load of 8.64 liters.

The number should be 8.64 kliters.
