Thank you everyone

No fuel=you may fly no faster than maximum thruster--no cruise or afterburner.

You enforce it just like the ID rules and everything else. It really makes piracy a possibility--no more endless running and makes law enforcement more possible. I'd welcome the rp.

No more loitering in system doing nothing but spamming chat.

Smugglers could watch the police till they had to refuel then make a run for it. Would add a lot of fun and strategy. it might only be enforceable within scanner range of another ship but thats ok.

If needed they can make a slower degrading fuel (high performance fuel) for bomber and fighter classes and (standard h-fuel) for all other classes that might perish a bit more quickly.

ZG, not to rag on your idea.... but the notion of ships requiring fuel has been brought up so many times it's not funny. In the end it never gets done, mainly coz no one can agree on how it should get executed and its too hard to police. Besides, everyone suddenly hates the idea of running out somewhere in the Nomad boonies and being marooned forever....

oh and by the way, think of it like this:

-Fighters/bombers/etc. are small craft that do not operate for extended periods of time. They arent deep space or long range craft, thus you'll be landing on stations, planets, or carriers quite often and your ship is automatically refueled by the crews working there.

-Capships, especially battle-ship sized vessels, run on nuclear reactors - some of the newer versions run on fusion reactors. This can be confirmed in-game by the infocards on some resources (plutonium, mox, etc.)

-The only long-range ships that run on h-fuel are transports, and they typically land somewhere every several systems along their trade route for loading or unloading cargo and refueling.

That doesn't matter nearly so much as getting people to be constantly exposed to actual RP. My Freelancer carries all kinds of random stuff with her (food rations, luxury consumer goods, water, etc)... then again she's never gotten into a PvP, and likely won't except for events or if we ever get a real Hogosha faction going (though AFA could work in a pinch). Anyway, I recommended this a month or so back and making it a server rule just doesn't feel right. However, house governments arresting people for using ships without fuel (obviously modified by Nomad tech or illegal stuff) would probably work. Maybe. We should try it in Kusari or Rheinland first (probably Kusari, a lot easier to get your hands on H-fuel there) before, say, Liberty.

Hah! I do this with both the Hephaestus and Harald Svenson. Both have died a couple of times, so they've lost some equipment, but I try to replenish their supplies whenever I can.

Yes people carried H-fuel before i seen many ship a while back in the game telling others they should carry H-fuel but it doesn't catch on cause it's an static item. IF it were to have a half-life then H-fuel can be used for more purposes than a trade item.

Its not whether it can work it's whether people a committed enough to increase the RP field in Disco. The whole fabric of RP is the elements that the people are exposed to, whats a big rule in life? That resources are limited!

It's the reason why schools teach economics the sole fact that sociality needs to learn how to manage the decaying resources that the world provides.

To make my point. If we are serous in calling this a RP game then the elements must flexible to FL RP universal events. IF we have a war, then theres shortages in resources. IF the H-FUEL tankers have been hit over and over again, the public outcry would be for more PROTECTION. Because the lack of H-Fuel coming in it has cause the prices of H-Fuel to go through the roof.

Thats RP elements in the working. More Stories...More NEW stories can be written.

I'm looking for those topics. "Search" has found many things but nothing in relation to H-Fuel as requirement. If someone who knows some posts please post some links.

NO.
That would be incredibly annoying to replace every time you die.

[Jihadjoe]

My RoS used to carry around 2 units of cardi, 1 unit of water and 1 unit of food.

Started to forget about it recently, should really start again now I think about it.

Camtheman. Your big red text and atrocious arguement has just moved me away from good roleplay and realism towards your point of veiw... ALL HAIL THE BIG RED TEXT!!!

I hear where you're coming from, but I've always treated such things in the same way I treat space crew, they're in my ship rather than in my cargo hold.

However, that being said every character that I plan on taking 'into the deep' carries a cargo of water, fuel and various cheese based snacks.

Sorry to add one more thing yes this has been brought up many times but thats politics .

//Civil rights worked long years of redundant work, but it never died. They kept on working harder and harder until they rightfully won.//


It's does not matter how many times it's brought up. Its whether it's right and wrong. And that my good friends is a view point that changes, right and wrong never stays the same.



edit: and that my friends was truly a redundant ending to the reply .... i would change it but....
