A planetary Quasar Cannon has two firing levels, both 
expressed in the percentage of stored Fuel Ore to use to 
power the Quasar Blast. The first, Sector reaction level, 
determines how hard a trader will be hit for just entering 
the sector. Usually this is kept fairly low, and inflicts 
one battle point per three units of Ore expended. The 
second, Atmosphere reaction level, specifies how much of the 
remaining ore is to go into firing on one who tries to 
actually LAND on the planet. This shot is much more 
effective, doing one battle point per unit of ore expended. 

There is an oddity in that the sector firing uses all the 
fuel ore you expect it to, but the atmosphere shot only takes 
HALF the expected amount...
