Thank you everyone

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.

The perishable items would be much slower than Lux food or Mox plus the different grades would crater to different ship classes. Just me the math will be done to ensure that the half-life of H-fuel will be appropriate for RP events in freelancer.

Military Operations must consider there supply line doesn't seem to me to hinder any RP event if the battle goes on for 3 hours some would expect the energy consumption to decrease a little. It would take more strategy then randomly deciding in 4min to attack another system.
