Fuel

Yes Dilithium Crystals as a fuel would be nice! And maybe a kind of dilithium regenerator?

The most common practice for an idea like this is to make the engines have a drain on your power supply, using your power supply as your fuel source. Alternatively, some people use the thruster as a fuel. While both methods work great, they both have one enormous drawback in multiplayer, and it is that you can replenish your energy and thruster reserves by leaving the server and joining back in.
Some Hook magic might be able to get around this, but I know of no Hook plugins to do this.

A work around 4 that, might be a weapon,
with negative power_usage and the need of ammo- which d be your fuel than.

How did Ioncross total war handle the fuel drain? I remember you didn’t have to pay for fuel, it refilled everytime you landed at a base.

I remember on old french “Freelancer” server, named Gateway , made by Giko…there was such feature. You needed fuel and food in order to play
(it was decreasing with time).If you never heard about this server, it was made by only 1 guy… and it was more than a mod. It was running in 2005 or 2006, I don’t remember exactly. Author wanted to make a new Elite with Freelancer engine.
Installation of this game was quite complex, and server were naturely not listed in serverlist.
Univers was really persistant (destroyed base or other stuffs never came back), economy was dynamic (already)…but it was 100% RP server…which mean that after level 5, if you died, you were not able to come back on server untill the next day, at 5:00am…
Server news were able in game…
And many other great things, for 2006…
Well, sry for this little nostalgie time :), server closed in 2006, so nothing is left, but this fuel just made me remember about this “mod”, and about all the features (some of them are quite common now, naturely).
So, I can’t help about fuel.

what about changing the nano bot to heal energy?
what i am thinking is having a astiroid drop them. We are deal with econmy issues. I though is if Nanos worked like gas, and we can make rock drop them. we would have fuel, minable reasourse.
Can the Nano be made to A) heal energy instead of hull? and B) can I make them loot?
-
A - no, not with conventional modding
B - yes, absolutely. they already drop from ships, so why not from asteroids, too? (unless I’m overlooking that they only drop from mission enemies since they are listed as item to be dropped; however, this is not necessarily a limitation either)
