Fuel for thought...

[Jack Burton]

As fun as it would be to be sitting dead in space until a friendly player brought you some fuel for you to tractor in...praying a pirate didn't come by instead...

Poking around the code has revealed little or NO way to link any type of cargo to ship performance. The links just don't seem to be there;

Links for equipment to ship performance DO exist though so maybe it would be a better direction to take this.



It would come down to a piece of equipment that ALWAYS took 'damage' ( fuel consumption ) during flight. The only ways to make a piece of equipment reieve damage are combat/collision, or solar phenomena.

Right?

So; an addendum to my question is this : Are solar radiation zones like the Star of Omega 41 tailorable to damage only specific pieces of equipment?

Can such 'damage zones' be layered? enabling a mod maker to blanket a zone with essentially a 'radiation' type.... flagged to slowly damage the 'fuel cell' of a fighter / cap ship?

No flashing radiation warning need be enabled for such, it would be assumed that if you are in flght, you're consuming fuel...This strays now from ship architecture into solar and system building...so I'm really even MORE lost..
