In Disco it's pretty easy to get bored and just sit there and talk to people not doing anything to make the server game better...or worse(Law and criminal RP) right?
But what incentive do we have to do anything. We don't have expenses that forces us to stay busy playing.
My proposal is.
1.) H-Fuel is made perishable
2.) Required for all ship to carry minimal amount of H-fuel (By class of ship)
3.) Different grades of H-Fuel
4.) The rule will be implied when the player hits level 30
WHY? Well I come to find that when someone hits a certain point in credits they seem to lower the RP or not do much when they login. Its the feeling while... i have all this money but nothing to do with it.
I'm just throwing this out there please leave your views after you vote.

Same as other post I made in other

Yes..it weird i forgot to mention it would create alot of RP jobs for people
edit: It would make an flexible market and a healthy RP Company rivalry. Because H-fuel isn't available everywhere Companies can distribute the fuel to where it needs to go. Thus creating a more meaning full trade RP
Edit: Could have unpredictable crime increase/decrease. Anyway I would like to propose that in order to sell H-Fuel you must have a license. In every system you sell at (To avoid confusion)
Edit: I want 150 votes before i proceed to draw conclusions

I love this idea. A case where rp makes something work the game engine can't. It's a brilliant idea.
Please some admin do it. You simply have to have at least one h-fuel to operate. Without it, limit ships to maximum thruster--with no afterburner or cruise speeds--only

Ugh. That would be a pain in the butt for all my fighters.
However, it would be a good idea for capital ships. Maybe make it more expensive for independents to field one.

...it would be impossible to enforce.

That doesn't matter nearly so much as getting people to be constantly exposed to actual RP. My Freelancer carries all kinds of random stuff with her (food rations, luxury consumer goods, water, etc)... then again she's never gotten into a PvP, and likely won't except for events or if we ever get a real Hogosha faction going (though AFA could work in a pinch). Anyway, I recommended this a month or so back and making it a server rule just doesn't feel right. However, house governments arresting people for using ships without fuel (obviously modified by Nomad tech or illegal stuff) would probably work. Maybe. We should try it in Kusari or Rheinland first (probably Kusari, a lot easier to get your hands on H-fuel there) before, say, Liberty.

Not arresting sir...that would be foolish and yes it would be hard to enforce but much like other policies it takes time. And Sovereign thats a good idea.

Impossible to enforce, and impossible to mod ships to require H-fuel. Furthermore, this has already been suggested. SEARCH FUNCTION. It DOES work.

A lot of players carry 'standard' cargo anyways.
For instance, a lot of the better zoner players I see (like that albatross that's always hanging out at manhattan) will have something like:
-20 units of spaceship personnel
-20 units of food
-20 units of water
-20 units of h-fuel
etc.
Even my firefly carried cargo like this for a while, but I gave up because nobody paid attention to it.
It's something that has to be self imposed. If you want to do it, great, it adds to RP - but it shouldnt be forced on everyone, as there are a lot of places where h-fuel simply isnt available and frankly I dont want to get sanctioned because I'm running on fumes...
Besides, you'd have weird crap like harvesters running on passengers instead of hfuel.
