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.

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.

Who decides what is a simple thing and what not? Above, you call it a game changer. Fed, Bot and Empire will probably consider it a minor thing. Pirate and Crystal will consider it more serious. Lizards, Birds and Klingons probably, too.

When thinking that to its end, I can find only very few things that are undebatedly simple/minor: approximately CPEnableRaceName, AllowAnonymousMessages, NewNativesPerTurn, and the schedule.
