An Idea

[Croft]

What you'd like to see and what will actually happen are two very different things as what you're suggesting is basically running costs for ships. Simply adding something like this won't increase people mining or RP'ing, it will turn every ship into a small playerbase that needs constant refueling and staffing to work, anyone who has refueled a base can tell you it's not fun. In fact I'd go as far as saying that playerbases and everything brought with them has done more to damage the server than all of the toxic players combined.

The problem is systems like running costs and refueling can't just be throw into a game with high hopes, they need to be key components in the game designed to work with other systems. Freelancer simply doesn't have that.
