Initially, the [[Ray Receiver]] produces 5 MW and has a ray receiving efficiency of 30%. While continously receiving energy, the energy production increases to 12.5 MW and 42% ray receiving efficiency at 100% "Continuous receiving". | Initially, the [[Ray Receiver]] produces 5 MW and has a ray receiving efficiency of 30%.

Note: The technology [[Planetary Ionosphere Utilization_(Tech)|Planetary Ionosphere Utilization]] | 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. | ||
Inserting a [[Graviton Lens]] doubles the power conversion of the [[Ray Receiver]]. With a [[Graviton Lens]] it produces 25 MW and requests more power from the [[Dyson Sphere]] accordingly. | Inserting a [[Graviton Lens]] doubles the power conversion of the [[Ray Receiver]].
