Hotfoot mentioned, "hydrogen ram scoops" that worked in nebula.
That would be an interesting component to add to the game.
Something that could pickup supply from nebula.
Mabe something that could have extractors that worked in an astoriod field.
Probably won't happen but nice idea.

About those solar collectors:

Some time ago(a year perhaps) one scientist refreshed the idea of electomagnetic movement. And it really works. And in vacuum too. You surely know what I am speaking about. Triangle that moves up if you power it with electricity. This effect is not fully described yet. The only problem is it's hugh energy cost. To levitate with say 20cm x 20 cm x 20 cm triangle you need a car-battery size battery. If you can effectively convert sun energy into electric energy and you don't have problems with great weight this model works very well.
(In fact the discovery of that triange indicates MANY possibilities.)

For those who would like to know how this thing works(You can make this thing at home, but don't do this if you don't know what you are doing): Make 2 triangles of same size. One big(aluminium) and one small(normal wire). Connect + to one triangle and - to the other. Plug it to really strong battery. Watch it fly.
