So, I was playing around with making a small RTG for the first time, when I happened upon the fact that the cost per kilogram of the RTG fuel "Pu-244" is 4.14 Zc per kg. For those of you not versed in prefixed, that's 4.14 Zettacredits, or 4,140,000,000,000,000,000,000 credits.
Assuming one credit is roughly one USD/EUR (cost per kg of aluminum is ~$1/kg IRL, compared to ~5c/kg in-game, and this assumes that aluminum hasn't inflated or deflated in price significantly from real life to in-game), that would mean that even if you had the income equivalent of the world GDP (2015) over the age of the universe, you could only purchase about one metric ton of Pu-244, which is a sphere about a half a meter in diameter. In terms more in-line with the game, 1 Mc of Pu-244 takes up roughly a volume of 1/100 that of a grain of sand.
Using pretty much any amount of this stuff, no matter how small, would immediately void any cost limits imposed in the scenario, so why does this material even exist in the game as a usable fuel?

I now need a Pu-224 RTG providing the power for the Emperor's quarters on the Imperial Flagship.
Can we have "The tears of my vanquished enemies" added as a coolant?

 Behold: A whopping 64.5 mW at the measly cost of 4.17 Yottacredits. Which is about the equivalent of 3,846,153,846,153,846 Gunships (A little under 4 Quadrillion). |

What happens when you try and use it in a nuclear reactor?

You should add some NaCl tho |

Ok, that's completely awesome! Now I can move on to the armor materials "Fused bone from the amputated limbs of those I've showed mercy" and "Wowen hair from the descendants of all who've transgressed". |
