Fuel

[AlexPaladinStorm]

For scientific purposes, fuel is not used in spaceships that can travel between planets like they did in Freelancer...

But for scientific purposes, propulsion engines cannot be used for spacetravel, not in the manner described in Freelancer, you have to use a rotational engine capable of disrupt the gravity between the planets, then creating a vortex capable of throwing the ship into the hyperspace, where the curvature of the three-dimensional space is changed and blablabla, and these ships dont need fuel at all, just free energy that is present in the ether itself. But if I follow these theories to the letter, I will not play any game. :crazy: So lets keep the way it is.

You are also forgetting that, in the *Lancer universe, Humans have previously developed Warp Drive and Warp Gate technology, and that Jump Drives (StarLancer) technically are the same as Cruise Drives (FreeLancer), and Humanity has managed to lose the ability to travel across a solar system in a split-second using Warp Technology. Instead, it takes a couple minutes.

Fuel Shmuel.... we've had this debate on Disco so many times it's not funny. The issues always boil down to the following:

1. People hate the idea of running out, especially during a fight;
2. Nobody can agree how it will all work;
3. Ridiculous amount of work involved in coding (if possible at all).
4. Just one more thing to worry about, detracting from having fun.

Result, the fuel idea gets the tossing-out it deserves.

The only workable "fuel" solution I've seen was used by [AEGIS], which basically worked on the honour system. (Their charter stated they would carry and consume MOX).

Eeexactly.
