Let's Talk Fuel

[Lolipop12]

@Barrier most people see the RP behind what you suggested and yes it will be a 'more' immersion thingy, but let's be honest here which everyone seems to be that way:
Freelancer is mostly an arcade game, a space ship simulator.

Discovery brought on the game awesome mechanics which many said already, POB, Cloaking devices and Docking modules. But adding another mechanic that will more restrain and being an annoyance on the long run, I don't know if the activity will be high. I see the RP of purchasing x commodity for fuel and fly around, but have you think for nomads and AIs? Those two are not running on H-Fuel.

I'd prefer seeing more story development or see new addition for AIs (since I am an AI player) than mechanics that are flirting with No Man's Sky or any other space games having fuel. Capital ship players already have a lot of mechanics to learn and re-learn. Now you add a fuel system management while the shield management is still a challenge? I do not think they will enjoy much. And now, for snub ships, while there are techniques to fly it properly in pvp, adding a fuel management will just be a nuisance as well.

Ex: You fly a snub, take down one in a fleet battle and then, you run out because you forgot to add fuel, you stop moving, you drift in space and become and easy target.

This, my friend, it is a big no.

I admire the work Laz, Aingar and many more bring to the game, but the fuel? Hell no.
