Let's Talk Fuel

[darkwind]

All the previous words

would be an annoyance and eventually become frustrating. I'd say no to this.

make the fuel only used when jumping to another system
this way u will not worry about other stuff people mention here
also this might bring some cool rp or even possibility of a new faction that will take care of people who stranded in a system
they can call for help from distress signal channels in their discord servers.

It is also good way to integrate zoi to mechanics since a liberty dreadnought will not able to find liberty-tech fuel in omicrons so they will need supply transports with them if they want to stay in omicrons for longer time

however i think fuel prices should be super super cheap but if you are stuck in a system and call for help then the guy bringing the fuel for you will decide the price

I think Fuel can be a great annoyance as well, but it is also a good mechanic that adds more immersion.
I think Titan is onto smth here with using fuel only for jumping as it is common acceptable mechanic, and having it super cheap (in order to mitigate annoyance problems. I personally heavily dislike Jump Drive batteries having heavy cost and thinking it is restricting stuff to the unplayable way and making jump drives usefulness close to non existent item similar to cloaks, things for fast movement should be nearly free and bring enjoyment in shortening space travels!)
in space flight should remain fully fuel free.

I think it is a great opportunity for removing from IDs Zones of Influences. Simplify stuff to be managed by constraints of Fuel itself. it will be far more immersive than those arbitary Zones of Influences which do not make sense to be existing from immersion point of view.
Lets give players more freedom to travel and act whatever they wish! Through implementing constraints to travel by immersive Fuel costs for jump (instead of all those ZoIs)
(And preferably also cut costs for Jump drive batts by 10-100 times too. Make space travel enjoyably fast )

So to summarize the points.
- Lets use fuel for Jump Gates/Holes only (in order to avoid being annoying and punishing mechanic)
- Lets not make fuel having any cost beyond being Extremely Cheap. (in order to avoid being annoying and punishing mechanic)
- Reward addition of a fuel by removing all the Zones of Influences to add more immersion, more freedom and simplify all the rules (thus making fuel being actually welcome thing)
