Point, Do any of the Capital ship images even HAVE anything like a 'Fuel Tank'? Their have been openings for 'Fuel Slugs' in smaller ships and such, but I can't recale seeing anything of the like on actual Capitle ships
Praying is another way of doing nothing helpful

40.000 tons per second at max power. Working on a pic of Saxton's credits and the point defense guns.
Is there something said about the volume that fuel takes up?
At the rates they're burning through the stuff, they must have huge bunker space for it on the ships...
Thats precisely why fuel tends to make up the vast majority of the mass on a starship (orders of magnitude greater.) You need that much mass simply to accelerate starships as massive as SW vessels are at thousands of gees by reaction-drive. A consequence of this is the firepower values.
Its worth noting that htis is "maximum power" outputs generally, which can be sustained for a few hours tops. (incidentally its also these problems with power generation which tend to impose rather severe acceleration limitations on starships.)

Check the Acclamator in the AOTC:ICS. It shows the fuel tanks and gives the fuel densities relative to the ship's mass.
Easy

Well that's a second mention in a Star Wars book for Mike, lucky. Closest thing I ever got to a mention in a book was a character with the same name as me getting devoured by a horde of flying beasties.. which isn't as cool as it sounds since it isn't an intentional redshirting.

Hello Mr Dorian Kratsas
Ha ha... I bet your name didn't get in there
Darn tootin'!
I just don't have anything to contact Dr Saxton with, but I think I'm right in that I can include myself in the 'anonymous others' section.

Who knwos? either projectile weapons (like the ones on the Separatist ships), improvised batteries (some have suggested ground artillery firing out of windows, although I dislike that idea *immensely*), or they're just more point defense lasers that are for some odd reason internally mounted (sort of like with the DS's internal turrets. go figure.)

Well if you ever finished calcs you started maybe you would
Okay, that's fair enough, but they were for the Terminator and not Star Wars! Personally I blame Mike because;
It's convenient.
If he ever wanted to do a 'Jedi Power' page, our (yours, Damien's and mine) analysis of Anakin's fall in AotC is pretty much ready to go.
There!
