 Most systems have sufficient
 tech that all is needed is a hydrogen source, so the oceans,
 atmosphere or ice caps of the mainworld will provide
 sufficient portable fuel and the local star an abundance of
 additional energy. If there is a starport then an abundance
 of fuel is readily available.

I'm reminded of the weird starship in the CT adventure 'Annic Nova'.

It had a solar 'sail' that could be deployed & used to charge the jumpdrive accumulators.

At the time I remember thinking, "WOW, that sail must be *some* kind of efficient!

As best I remember it took some weeks but that's still one heckuva' lot of energy.
