	It seems that, if you understand the basic mechanic, the datasheet probably makes sense but, if you don't, it's just a bunch of columns of numbers.

			== Quality magnitude seems off in the table ==

			The infobox says that Legendary quality has a fluid consumption of 15-300, which matches how quality scales on all other things. However, the table forgets to skip a quality for legendary, therefore ending up lower than that.

			I don't know for sure how to figure out the numbers that should be there?

			- I looked into it. The calculations seem to be complex. There is a quadratic equation there (force of friction = aV^2 + bV + c), and both platform mass and platform width go there in every component as coefficients in a non-trivial way. I tried to derive it by measuring the speed of the platform in different conditions, but got bored. Too much work for no real benefit. But I did find some useful information:
			* The closest planet always pulls you by 10km/s.
			* Platform mass is almost irrelevant. Yes, you shouldn't be afraid to make you platform bigger.
			* Platform width, on the other hand, is VERY important. The slimmer is your ship, the faster it goes.
			It is probably worth putting somewhere on the wiki, because it is not obvious that what you really need to look at when building a platform is its width (which is not even shown to you), but I have no idea where exactly. Maybe somebody more stubborn than me will derive the correct formula. I have all the measurement data, if anybody is interested.
