An Idea

[leonidos]

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.

I am not talking about constant refueling as you see the statistics i gave for consumption is too few and if that depends upon player's game time. More important all those things can be made available in most of the bases as water and oxygen are already everywhere.
What we gain from this?
If you like to cloak then you need some Hilium 3 and as that is a mineble material you have to ask / pirate / buy some from the miners and use them more cautiously. Players will not go too far from their Systems / Bases without supply for long time.

For refueling 10Food ration 10 Water 5 Pharmacitical and 10 fuel will help you to fly 10 hours very low consumption if you are not fighting.
