Hi gugliandalf,
nice proposal, although it is quite complicated to fully implement it. To avoid endless games, we can try to use the 'End of Hostility' rule that is used in WS&IM that will end a game after 10 turns passed without anyone firing.

A quick and dirty solution could be to start with 4 or 5 times the default fuel. This will allow many player to forget about fuel consumption, avoiding endless games at the same time.

So, instead of the usual 35/45, every one will start with 150/200 fuel units.

This can easily be integrated with all the other options and is really easy to do.

Any comments ?

Nick.
