The longer they are continuously in view of the swarm, the more efficient they become. | The Ray Receiver is a building used to collect power generated by a [[Dyson Sphere|Dyson Sphere/Swarm]].

Initially, the [[Ray Receiver]] produces 5 MW and has a ray receiving efficiency of 30%. While | Initially, the [[Ray Receiver]] produces 5 MW and has a ray receiving efficiency of 30%. While continuously receiving energy, the energy production increases to 12.5 MW and 42% ray receiving efficiency at 100% "Continuous receiving". | ||
Note: The technology [[Planetary Ionosphere Utilization_(Tech)|Planetary Ionosphere Utilization]] reduces the line-of-sight barrier to maintaining a continuous connection, presumably by bouncing the energy beams off of the planet's Ionosphere to reach the receiver wherever it may be. This is, in effect, the same way that Radio waves can travel over the horizon, on real-world Earth. For this to work, the [[Stars and planets|planet]] must have an atmosphere, and the [[Ray Receiver]] must be supplied with a [[Graviton Lens]]. This does not completely remove the line-of-sight requirement, as there is still a dead spot on some planets. The size of the dead spot appears to depend on the distance of the planet to the star. | Note: The technology [[Planetary Ionosphere Utilization_(Tech)|Planetary Ionosphere Utilization]] reduces the line-of-sight barrier to maintaining a continuous connection, presumably by bouncing the energy beams off of the planet's Ionosphere to reach the receiver wherever it may be.
