4 years ago If you do this you need to update the algorithm for expected fuel consumption. Also, the game only allows for 1 WP task per WP. So to do this would require the player to manually add a second waypoint and set it to transfer fuel.
IIRC the reason this was nixed was it added too much micromanagement.
Describe the feature you'd like to see An option in game setup that causes fuel to be measured in kT, rather than mg, so it affects the mass of ships and thus fuel-laden ships would consume more fuel to move. This is the way it worked in early versions of Stars! but it was changed at some point. This option would also need to disable automatic refueling from starbases, since you might not actually want to load up on fuel.
