Refueling
« on: May 14, 2009, 09:13:24 pm »
Hello again guys.

I looked at this game some years ago, and suddenly remembered it. Glad to see you've come to so far, however there is always a but ;-)

An issue keeps arising, it's in regards to refueling. I have a standard drop ship with to additional fuel pods, now it holds some about 600+ in fuel. Now refueling this bird takes and I'm not kidding about 3 days (game time), this makes it really dificult to engage in all the missions I'm getting. My solution is so far to use 2 dropships, so I can use the second while the first one is refueling.

3 days ... I seems to recall a refueling of a 747 is about 20 min. Should it really take that long ? if so I really think you need to rethink the aspect, I would only think it reasonable that they in 2089 would be able to refuel even faster.

Regards,
Aaangel

You must play 2.2.1 as in the trunk (2.3-dev) it's much faster.

It should be printed on the main menu screen.
