It’s not a smart ass question. You made a claim it would be good for the economy. Asking you to prove that claim or at least provide a real defence for that claim isn’t smart ass. It’s sensible.
But when he doesn’t have a good argument, the only thing he has left is ridicule. So his response already speaks volumes.
Ship fuel for extra performance sounds like a great idea!
It would be really nice to have some optional way to make your ship function better than it normally does at the cost of some type of fuel or other consumable.
What if we could overheat our modules for the extra performance? Overheat your microwarp drive for even higher speed? Overheat your turrets for even more dps? Overheat your scram and web for more range? I think it would be great to be able to push your ship (temporarily) to their limits!
And then we need fuel for those modules. Something to make sure you can keep overheating your modules, or rather, something to repair your modules when they have taken heat damage.
Let’s call it… nanite repair paste!

hmm.
- remove heat repair from tether and station/structure repair.
- add heat repair from local/remote ancillary hull repairer when loaded with nanite.
- nanite is fuel.
- add specific fuel that needs to be consumed to repair heat from tether/structure/station ( fuel is consumed in the process ) and reactivate heat repair from tether/structure/station (but in raw value, random module instead of constant overall 5 point of damage removed)

I am for the idea of additional bays (especially as an optional modification to a ship)
for things such as ammo, or nanite repair paste.
this way you can keep your cargo hold seperate from storage of essential items.
personally I think if you did this, say had an ammo bay and your ship went boom, it should have additional and cooler secondary explosions to go with the awesome ship destruction animations.
not a combat heavy person myself.
but i like the idea of being able to buy a standard ship off the shelf and giving it a few tweeks to make it more unique.
however recently i did a bunch of research into the Lore of the capacitors and ships and from a strictly lore perspective, I do not like this idea, ship’s use PEG’s (perpetual energy generation) which in regards to the capacitor IIRC draws energy from both normal space and hyperspace, further more I believe each ship has at least 6 PEG’s and each PEG uses 10 times earths yearly energy consumption in a single second (or at least something close to that according to space pope)
I know not many people will care about the lore behind it. but using some kind of fuel unfortunately won’t work to fit this idea.
am I for the concept of additional bays being able to go onto ships as moddifications for things like
fuel bays, drone bays, ammo storage. Yes 100% i will +1 that concept.
however not for the reason suggested. I do whole heartly think you are onto something with the idea though.
the increased use of consumables is interested especially gas harvesting.
perhaps there could be something created in the triglavian Lore stating “Triglavians come from a region of space which didn’t have gas clouds” (i’m not 100% on the Trig lore) “so they start harvesting gas in new eden and with their biochemical transforming technology use it as a fuek” perhaps for some kind of awesome weapon.
In this example it would also mean the implementation of trigs roaming into gas clouds causing players to battle with NPC trigs over resources.
given the recent resource shortage phase and the fact shortages cause conflict, i think this would be a rather interesting concept.
I also feel this dynamic will also create content for people who fly edencomm ships, trigs stealing our resources and such.
hope this helps or furthers the thought process on your idea.
Tone is part of a question as well. How it is asked. The tone you project.
When someone comes out of the gate being an ass, I respond in kind.

Exactly.
Sure it will…just like we have hybrid gasoline/ battery powered cars.
I think the raw idea needs work, but the raw idea is really good as a raw idea. I kind of like it in the sense that certain modules will have better performance, especially something like an afterburner or MWD.
I also like the idea of just removing overheat and normal function of certain modules and replace that with fuel. I mean, come on, the idea that you need nothing but those rocks on your ship to run everything is a bit silly. Just a simple car needs all kinds of special fluids, oils and grease. Vastly different things should operate differently. Fuel or your afterburner doesn’t work at all is a compelling idea for me. I don’t think it will be POPULAR but it would make more sense, even cosidering the lore, cause apparently, that’s not really thrust coming out the back of your ship…its EXHAUST (that may add thrust maybe?)
Thank you for the constructive feed back. Something from which some on this thread could learn a thing or two.
As to PEG … it’s fiction. Of all the things in Eve, the fiction is the most malleable. But I get the argument.

indeed, Renly says up in his post about exhaust but if you watch the videos on the lore, space pope tells us its not actually exhaust, its now how the ships generate thrust, off the top of my head i forget what it actually is, i was more interested in the aspect of hyperspace regarding my post on the cloaky AFK thread
like i said though, its got merit to it, now i’m more lore savvy all my thinking is “will it line up with the lore” and then its about making it mechanically viable in game. tis my thought process at least.

Fair enough
Which pollute more than each of both separately, added together.
It’s just as a bad idea, as having a mixed hybrid/laser ship.
The biggest issue in space… is power dissipation. You can’t use bigger fans to dissipate your energy. So you need to have instead super effective architecture and lower energy usage.
But yeah different fuels can be used for different usage. Water for example can be considered a fuel for living beings… good luck feeding only on a power outlet or on petrol ^^
