Is it possible to use the game date event to have the effect of an item expire after some time ?

I was thinking to add a speed slowing effect of 100% to engines, then I would create a new stock item (a fuel tank) that counteracts this effects for some time, the more big the fuel tank the more time you are immune to speed slowing.

Then I could add special engines like the "Solar Sail" which could be used without fuel (no bad speed slowing).

Speaking of, if you want to more directly lower the amount of money available, you can go into Main_Stores.txt and drop the "sell price" for each of the sites.

Well, that's not the point.
I don't mind earning a lot of money throught combat, but is much more fun if I really have need of it or can use it to do things.
It's a game after all, so IMHO doing more things adds new tactics and possibilities and fun to the game.

Thank you all for the replies.
