I just noticed with the recent version(21092) that fuel pods actually decrease range instead of increasing it.
Thats true for all crafts availabe at the start.
Firebird goes from 27000 to 23800, Stiletto from 8800 to 8700 and Saracen from 11100 to 10300.

The error is definately in this line of cl_aircraft.c:
[code] Q_strcat(aircraftInfo, va(_("Operational range:\t%i km\n"), CL_AircraftMenuStatsValues(aircraft->stats[AIR_STATS_FUELSIZE] *
aircraft->stats[AIR_STATS_SPEED], AIR_STATS_OP_RANGE)), sizeof(aircraftInfo));
[/code]
I'm neither adept with the code, nor realy with C, but there is the fuel of the aircraft multiplied with the speed.
Meaning the faster the craft goes the farther it will get with it's fuel. right would be something that is based on fuel and weight(or size).

This bug persists in r22621.

assigning a fuel pod to an aircraft increases the operation range in r27875 - if the calculation should be done better - please file a feature request

tested near r28047 unable to replicate issue
I believe this can be closed
