Other Test Fuel Services

[Jestyr]

Was thinking about all those people stuck on in the middle of no where needing to hit a base to refuel. What if we had a roaming Starfarer's that offered public refueling? Rolling into low security area's offering the services.

Security would be an obvious issue. We would need to establish ourselves enough so that people wouldn't dare attack a Test Fueling Ship. We could have rules that banned attackers from receiving any Test services. A security detail for escorts and possibly hunting down people who break the rules.

What ya think?

I dare not touch upon this subject, but there is another...

Logistics.

IMHO, fuel services as a public service is going to be a lot more difficult than most, and I'd personally just focus fuel into two categories: TEST consumption, and general sale on the market for profits. Currently, we know not enough about the meta to ensure that our Starfarers would be safe.

Honestly I sprung and changed my farer into a G. Prolly for about 1/3 public, 2/3 Test support. Every fleet needs a strong middle line.

We could keep the public relations Starfarer near the hospital?

Endeavor hospital ship + Crucible repair ship + Starfarer + StarG for public relations fleet. Have the StarG fitted with the MissileMouth thing (don't recall where I got this from, but I think it is going to be 7xS5 missiles) and stick with the rest of the ships to act as secondary processor/dispenser and mild deterrent while the standard one goes and does all the collection. I expect the Crucible to be capable of in-space refitting at some point, so that would probably be most of its utility as I expect full-on repairs to require ample sources of raw materials (e.g. Orions or Reclaimers). Minor repairs (e.g. Hornet tails, any ships wings, patching holes) should probably be able to be accommodated from stores on the 'farers or something.

My StarG will be for Test and my friends only, all others will have to pay.

My star G will be for fleet runs and if possible, storing a crap ton of fuel to keep my ships running for a long time

( unless fuel is dirt cheap / ineffectual to self harvest if it cuts into mining profit )
