Fuel

The fuel cost does vary by tanker type. It is just right now that the same faction standing (say neutral) gives the same fuel cost multiplier 1.0. If this value changed for each type of tanker (small was 1.2, medium was 1.0, large was 0.<!-- s8) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif" alt="" title="Cool" /><!-- s8) --> then price would also vary by ship type.

Fuel type varies by ship type now in the latest build. Hostile, small fuel ships are the most expensive, allied, long fuel ships are the cheapest. Between the two there is about a doubling in price.

Don't want to forget about the fuel balancing. How do the availability of refuel ships and frequency of refueling feel now?

Haven't actually played in a few days. I'm going into exams for my math course, and I've gotten into a programming kick for one of my top-down 2D space sim/adventure games, so my free time has dried up.

which game?

I haven't come up with a name for it yet. Sometimes I invent a name and then make a game around it, while at other times I invent a game and then make a name to suit. I was tending towards "Interstellar Retribution" in the early development, but that was when it had more in common with Star Fleet Battles than Elite...
