cherek: If my memory serves me correctly, it will not move. Even though it will use zero fuel, it must still have fuel on it to move.

and, that is the rub. you (we) cannot move the Dead Parrot without risk of combat, which sucks. (pardon my "plain ugly English" [as my wife would say...])

requiring fuel to move also stops tactics like getting to a fuel source when you run out of fuel... giving a new meaning to the phrase, "Lost in Space."

edit to add: the real winner is Player 5. once he robs you, you are stuck right there until he sends a ship to capture you.

GhostWriter

Player 7 also has that advantage when a ship is drained of fuel while in a Web. Personally, I like the feature that a ship cannot move without fuel. I hate chasing ships in Gravity wells when they are drained of fuel.

This is a testing version.
It may be incomplete, and have more bugs (or features) than the public live version at planetscentral.com.
