Resourcing and fuel.

from Sins Forums
Is it possible for an ability to cost resources? The reason I am asking is because I am thinking about a fuel based mod. Ships require refueling when they move and fire.

Ahhh darnit. However I can add an 'upkeep' cost to a technology correct? How about the antimatter being used when a ship moves?

Abilities can require credits to use if they are in friendly space using the buff that removes a planet's credits from Embargo.

There's also the pirate ship power-up that removes credits. You could create an ability that is always on, and permanently associated with every ship and that costs so many hundredths or tenths of a credit a second - kind of like an upkeep drain that is specifically based on fleet size. Would be a lot of work to do, though.

Carbon, that could work, sorta kinda. Except that I want to use the ability on a building to only remove a small amount of fuel(consider it another resource). Besides embargo doesn't work in amounts.

Well, just make it antimatter like me and numerous other modders have.

Ya but it is going to be antimatter, there is just going to be no recharge rate. You have to use a building.
