Re: PBW ethics, opinions please.
Wellll It looks like:
'GAMEY' is not a situation but a state of mind.
I was a bit irritated at a friend when he revealed that upgrading a ship and not upgrading the engines left the ship with it's current fuel load. My first thought was damn I wish I knew that and I got that gamey feeling. But He just knew the game better than I and so NO ONE has come up with a truly 'GAMEY' Situation.

I think Fyron's statement is pretty self-explanatory. What is your question about it? Do you disagree?

Why would it not work this way? When I take my car to the shop to get an oil change or have speakers installed they don't drain the fuel tank.

Mothballed retro fitting.
I do hope he does not take that away. As it makes sence.

You are right GEO it should work taht way but when I upgrade I upgrade everything and it was just something I did not notice and being out of fuel after an upgrade is a minor problem I still contend with. I guess I need to pay even closer attention to the game.

This is one of those few things where not only do I not think it's an exploit, I can't even understand the position of anyone that does. At least noone that objects to it has done so in amanner I could relate to. Like with the mine and training thing, I personally don't have a problem with them, but I could at least see why someone might. But allowing retrofits of mothballed ships isn't gamey. In fact NOT allowing it WOULD be gamey.
