Fuel

[Govedo13]

10 min fights are so much no no no no... it kills the skill element of the fight, it means that the party with more members would win everytime, you just dodge till the other go out of fuel and some transp of your party refuel you and you go to pwn the thrustless enemy snubs- this is lolwut in general.
I see it otherwise- every ship have some fuel usage - let say per hour-
20- 80 units for snubs
100-200 GBs
500-1000 cruisers
1000-2000 Battleships
Transports- well this is different I would say that they must have much more efficient engines then the warships so they should use the GB rate fuel?

Fuel usage is depending of the ship usage- you make the fuel perishable if you cruise in this one hour it goes out faster then if you thrust/use impulse if you jump in a hole or Gate you use 10 % of your fuel. If your ship stays still and does not move then you dont use your engines and you dont waste fuel.
The penalty should be that ship without fuel does cruise with 200 speed and does not recharge its core. So fuel should be there to restrict cap spam not to disable PvP fights. And it should be important where you fly and how much fuel you should take. I also find that all ships must be able to use different fuel but only one type should be really efficient for them, depending on the ship type and origin.

Official faction players that are often accused of elitism, never deploy them and have those weird, immersion killing "fair fight/dueling" suicidal hobbies. (yes, i've seen enough of those lolduels, where house military with overwhelming force on the field willingly loses a pilot in a duel. ffs.)
