As far as I understood feature with new POS fuel needed to simplify the POS fuel calculation. I think it will be better do not change current behavior. Because it has some usable features, for example GÇô you can mine some type of the fuel on the planet, but buy the rest of items.
I think all we need it is 2 new features:
1) more readable notification about the fuel from POS. Including information: total item count, item per hour usage and calculated left time.
2) configurable fuel containers. You will be able to configure how match fuel of each type will belong to the container. For example GÇô my POS use:
Heavy water GÇô 2544 per 24 hours
Coolant GÇô 144
Oxygen GÇô 8112
GǪ
I will configure the container to incorporate the appropriate number of the items of each type. Then I will need to fill the container and it will contain the exact fuel count for the 24 hours.
What do you think about that?
Thanks

Kinda like Batteries ... (or hydrogen based "fuelcells")
Handy idea even if i don't use POS myself. |

I understand you reasoning, but the truth is that the solution that CCP has gone with is the easiest. You can still harvest certain materials and then buy the rest, the only thing different is that your then building a fuel block (10min per block). It's one more step, thats all, deal with the changes. The fuel blocks make things much easier for running more than 2 POS's.
Besides, should you need a quick boost of fuel and choose to buy it, you just buy one fuel type instead of 7.
Simpler is better in this case. |

Yes, it's good if you going to buy it, but if you going to buy only ice, but mine anything else on the planets. In this case you will need to manufacture it. This should reads as "you will use manufacturing line to create fuel instead of building some cool item".
Proposed by the CCP changes will make life easier only than people who buy all type of the fuel, all another will have additional step in the chain. |
