Let's Talk Fuel

[Luke.]

I already feel that Discovery Freelancer has lost some of its arcade-like pace that makes the game as a whole actually fun to play and ships satisfying to fly, especially in regards to pvp.

Let's not make that worse with survival/realism mechanics. They have their place for sure, but that place ain't here. Part of the fun of space is not truly knowing what could happen out there, what exists and what doesn't etc. and no one wants to think about the logistics around finding out. Leave that sad reality for real life, or games that aim to be a sim of sorts in the modern day.

You can RP running out of fuel if you want already. Just act stranded and in need of help. You can RP hauling fuel even if there's no actual consequence to not doing so. Imagination is one point of RP amidst many.
