ComCitCat: ...turn off FED shield bonus in midgame...

that is a racial ability and should be untouchable. just like robbing, web mines, etc.

streu: ...NFCs/Dead Parrots to carry cash around .. You just have to load them with a single kiloton to start the engine.

the purpose was not only to conserve fuel, but also to prevent combat. that one kT of fuel allows combat. combat is what makes it a game changer.

streu: If there's agreement to turn it on for this game, I'll happily do so.

that won't happen. there is no reason to make the change.

streu: ...but I'd want a significant majority to change a game in progress.

IMHO, a two tier system would be fair. a simple majority for a simple thing like changing the fuel/no fuel ship movement thing. whereas, most changes should require that 2/3, or more, to implement the change.

streu: That single kiloton is...

a moot point, in PHost.
