Thank you everyone

Requiring people to carry a specific amount of H-Fuel in capital ships is a good idea (although I think it's a bit too micro-management to be an actual rule) - in fact my capital ship (singular, faction authorised), a gunboat, carries 12 units of H-Fuel at all times.

However making it compulsory and perishable is a bad idea - have you seen how fast perishable commodities degenerate? It would leave capital ships unable to participate in prolonged fights away from the few depots which sell H-Fuel at realistic prices. Things like the possible Rheinland - Liberty confrontation would become impossible, because the fleets wouldn't be able to get far enough away from an H-Fuel depot to actually meet each other and fight. Far from improving RP, having compulsory perishable H-Fuel would kill off what little capital ship RP there is.

While we're on the subject of capital ship RP, maybe with the proposal to stop NPCs scanning for contraband in 4.85 (the escorts thing), it could be made possible to buy 'Spaceship Crew', 'Spaceship Captain' and so on? These would be sold and bought at one price throughout Sirius (to prevent them from being used for trading) and we could specify a minimum crew for each ship type.
