    i can go to praticly the other side of the universe with only 26 fuel. i think this needs a Nerf.

    Not sure what this is about, what engineer, is this some kind of crew member who improves fuel efficiency?

    yes.

    Yeah it would make sense if he improved fuel efficiency by anywhere from 20-50% but THAT much doesn't make sense.

    he basically permanently increases the fuel efficiency by 10% whenever he does it. and it seems to have no cap.

    I really need to check on that, as I have 2 engineers, lol.

    Indeed. I believe they need to implement a cap, where the fuel efficiency can only go up to a certain number depending on how big your ship is. So, for instance, there is a base cap at 50% more, and it goes up by 50% every upgrade. If that seems too little when implemented, make it 100%. When it is capped, the engineer simply says "If the ship was bigger I probably could improve the fuel efficiency more." and something similar with the mechanic.

    I'm not sure my ship even uses fuel anymore. I've been at 5770 out of an ever increasing number (currently 12400) for as long as I can remember.

    My ship doesn't use fuel anymore. It uses the tears of my engineer.

    Yep, I don't need any fuel anymore. Been at 1248 (The second time I'd ever gotten fuel.) For a long time now, even flew from 999999 coords to 1. Not a single change. Haha.

    Yes, they are overpowered...and I love it! I can now travel to the farthest reaches of the universe with only 1 fuel!

    Maybe...I dunno...make it only 1% efficiency gain each time. It still might be overpowered, but it will be a slower overpowering.

    My navigation doesn't even bother to tell me how much a trip will cost, there is no fuel cost when I fly. Not "0", just... nothing. It's not there.

    Maybe make it so thats its 10% per engineer instead of 10% over and over again. (Or if you realy want the option of free travel, make it so having the full crew be engineers just barely hits the no fuel cost).

    What about implementing a cap on how many upgrades you can have and charging resources for each upgrade?

    Huh, I like it. Your ship crew members can give you quests specific to their job to help them do their thing. Probably collection quests or something.

    who cares its a sandbox game, 10 fuel 1000 fuel thats just a few seconds hold click on a moon anyways.

    from all the thinsg unbalanced and problematic this is really the least one I would care about.
