Wasting fuel

Post by Kangaroo »

I over filled my fuel for the first time today. I have a fuel tank, but it wasn't equipped.
It made me think though... I do NOT want email that my tank is full and I'm losing fuel, because that could go on for a long time if I wasn't online. But I would like some kind of information. SO... how about the status bar?
the status bar already has a fuel icon and the amount in the tank. Could you change the color for one of those to red if the tank is full? Or maybe, change the amount to -1 or 999,999,999,999,999?

Like it.

If possible, color could be orange (for 90-99% full) and red (for 99-100%). Or Font Color change.

probably, lol. But if not, I'd like to have colours for extremely low fuel levels too. say less than 300, or so. It is easy to spent all fuel while mining, and stuch with empty tank in the middle of asteroid field for half day :(

There were my suggestion about different pictures for damaged hull/armour. It was refused, but it could be realized by colour change (if possible without much effort, ofc :) ).

If you hear a 'hissing sound or smell gas' ; I'd say run like hell, but with that much its too late :lol:
