I've been wondering for a while......exactly what is the effect of pterevores? And by how much do they affect you?

I've had exactly TWO hit me....due to my tactic of spray-n-pray with an IFC (which I adopted after those two hit me when i was using an Ion Lancer before finding the IFC)....but I know they are really nasty little buggers.....just...how bad?

they suck down your fuel (1 pteracnium fuel rod per second, I think), and occasionally do damage.

You're in pretty big trouble if you run your ship into a swarm of them. But unless you're flying up to a nest fat and happy after you've destroyed it, that's unlikely. If you do, though...goodbye fuel.
