Blockade Runner ship class

[Suicide Junkie]

Big problem with using it as an explorer.

Having more engines makes you go faster, but you still go the same distance before running outta fuel!

Every engine burns 10 fuel when you move 1 square. Each engine stores 500 fuel.

That means you can go 50 squares before you die.

With 1 engine, you go 50 squares in 5 years.
With 2 engines, you go 50 squares in 2.5 years.
with 50 engines, you go 50 squares in 1 turn, then you're outta fuel.

All you need to do is create a really expensive engine that dosen't guzzle fuel. Make it use up only 2 fuel, and give a hefty movement bonus, then your ship get 5x the range and be faster.
