RT-I Radiothermal

__NOTOC__
== Description ==
Radiothermal generators harvest heat from radioactive isotopes and convert it into electricity. They are more powerful than fuel cells, but also produce a relatively high amount of heat.
==Location==
The RT-I Radiothermal can be purchased at most Syndicate ports.
== Information ==
The RT-I Radiothermal is the entry-level human radiothermal generator and often the first step up from Fuel Cells. It produces slightly more power than the nGVF-DD Fuel Cell and takes 15 fewer tons of outfit space, but also produces over three times more waste heat, giving it the worst heat efficiency in the game. The heat can be negated with Liquid Nitrogen Cooler but this will lose the space savings. The RT-I is one of the only human outfits rendered obsolete by another human outfit: namely, the Dwarf Core, which produces more energy for less mass and heat, making it preferable once you can afford it.
== Trivia ==
* Radioisotope thermoelectric generators are real-world technology currently used to power probes and satellites in situations where a long fuel life is needed and maintenance is impossible. The radiothermal generators in Endless Sky are logical extensions of this concept.
