I was wondering if some one could tell me the formula for calculating the fuel cost for bridging a ship using the covert portal or at least give me the iso amount for 1millkg/ly with jump fuel cons at V and at IV.

Afaik, the formula is:

Mass × Portal Consumption Mass Factor × Base Cost × Skill Mod × Distance.

For Covert portals, the PCMF is 0.000000135 (compared with 0.000000001 for regular portals).
For Blops, the base cost if 300 (1000 for a titan)
The skill mod is (1 - 0.1 × JFC level).
The distance is… well… the distance (in ly).

Much like real men don't ask for directions when they are lost, they also don't bother with jump fuel calculations.

maybe i didn't under stand it right but after plugging in the numbers to that i got .000052488 for a manticor

1,466,000 kg × 0.000000135 × 300 × 0.5 = 29.7 units/ly at JFC V (if the formula is correct).

While I support you exercising your math skills, you also might want to check out Dotlan's Navigation page which calculates both jump ranges as well as fuel consumption for the trip.

It doesn't calculate T3

TY i must have typed it in wrong first time around where do you get the base cost from i had thought it was the jump requirement it had listed in its stats but i guess not

The base cost is the same as jumping the ship you're bridging from: 300 for blops, 1000 for titans.
