Fuel for thought...

[Jack Burton]

OK, I'm warmed up...

I'm all for realism in our little RP world here, but take a little pity on us old farts.

As it is, I have to keep track of who hates who 'n who likes who, and who's the newest "Devastatin'" pirate threat around the corner;

And, because of vagaries in the system, I have to keep one eye glued to my own rep constantly, for fear I'll shoot just one too many of "X", and next thing I know I'm flashin' "Q", without even knowing how, when, or why it happened..

And now ya want me to worry about my fuel consumption and how good a fuel mileage my ship gets?

I guess i'm saying the things are hectic, complicated, and "real" enough now, without the added headache of fillin' my bloody gas tank...

...I gotcha bro....yeah we got allota hells. Can always use one more I'd think though.

As far as it being " real enough "

Um..

FL is about as candy-coated as it gets with space. The amount of " realism" now included is...well...zilch.
Faction concerns are about as heavy as it gets there Mal; but you're right I was gonna put a piece of duck tape over the gas gauge in my truck just the other day 'cause I look at it too much.

*chuckles*

It's a game guys. and honestly it's a pretty " walk away and grab a cup of coffee " game compared to most out now. A little realism in my desktop version is what I'm aiming for here. as I've said several times throughout my posts on this subject.

I'm here for your advice on how to make this work.

Your community has been here a long time; you've doubtless had this conversation before and if you had wanted to, this would be implimented by now HERE... of all places where the community ostensibly strives for a level of continuity with the original FL verse. But it's not, so I ask myself not whether it SHOULD be done.

Can it be done.

I'm not trying to change YOUR version of reality guys; I'm looking for coding advice to get this accomplished and I'm trying to narrow the direction of expertise down to the necessary game elements.

That's all...
