Fuel

[Silver.2]

hm - but light fighters ARE short range - aren t they?

and if armour is too heavy for them - maybe it gives a good reason ( for the first time ) not to equip the heaviest armour everywhere

mind you - fuel consumption might be adjusted of course - same with incompatible fuel.

so lets say - a AU8 LF can afterburn regularly ( since you only really burst the AB ) for like 20 min in a fight .... or cruise around 300k ..... while a AU4 LF can do 30 min AB and cruise like 400k
but thats the point of it after all - define whats long range and whats short range.

In all honesty, without decent armor, most LFs are far too vulnerable. Seriously. Besides, even with lighter armor, most LFs ranges would be ridiculously short. If you didnt have carrier support, you couldnt use them for anything.

now THIS will make the game a lot more tactical, I like it now factions will be more than random parties raiding the other faction's system:laugh:

The running out of fuel in combat could be also usefull, speedtanking player (AKA plugger ace pilot) would use it for wearing people out, it's pretty usefull:cool:

What happens if you're a transport hauling the fuel?

you will be pirated and your cargo stolen.

I like it, but I am going to start working on a hybrid.

No to all 3 polls , I don't need H Fuel there for anything except for trading.
Adding H Fuel as realistic will ruin the game.

This wouldn't be a bad idea for some kind of realism mod, but this isn't exactly a realism mod. I'd rather keep the fuel system in Freelancer the way it is and not worry about it and include this in a different realism mod.

how about unlimited ability to travel, but a limited ability to thrust, based on fuel?
