Lithium

The Stardrifter uses lithium ions for fuel. Lithium ions occur only in two forms: Li+, and Li++. Stardrifters use Li+ for fuel. Your Vimana drive works by stimulating the lithium's nuclear forces. Their vibrations can then create a velocity amplification field, which can accelerate your Stardrifter up to five billion times its natural speed using its in-system drives. However, this process uses up the lithium involved, so you need to continuously replenish your fuel. To do this, you will need to find a suitable source of the substance.

When a star explodes as a nova, it leaves behind a Grey Giant star. These stars are ancient, fossil stars, and due to the fifth interaction, whereby gravity becomes a repulsive force, they constantly emit streams of heavy elements from their outer layers, amongst them, rather conveniently, Li+ ions. So, if you want fuel, Grey Giants are a good place to start. Once you've Vimana-jumped to such an object, select "Emergency Functions" from the Onboard Devices menu. Now select "Scope For Lithium". Because Li+ ions have an electric charge, they can be collected by controlled long-range magnetic fields. This is how a Lithium Scope works. Once you have activated your scope, just stay around, and your lithium supplies will gradually increase. While you are scoping, you can do nothing else, so you must deactivate your scope before flying away. A useful hint here is that time passes in the Noctis galaxy whether or not you're actually playing it, so if you start scoping and then close the program and go to sleep, you'll wake up the next morning with ludicrous amounts of fuel.
