This was changed to the current system where ships are made by metal and crystal and eonium is built in through new fuel cell technology and engine technology, meaning you use the eonium to create the fuel just once, like warp core technology in star trek.
Yes i know it got changed and the reason why; I also agree that fuel costs were ultimatly bad for the game. The thing is though, that with that.. they didnt give eonium a meaning. Then they got rid of scanning for roids, which deleted a reason for Crystal.. While they also changed the init'ing process from Metal to all 3 resources, deleting the reason for Metal.

So we ended up with 3 resource types, with nothing seperating them.

That was the point of my post, the changes made to the game have either made things redudent (but kept them in the game) or made things overly complicated. Planetarion is no longer a 'clean and simple game'.. Its a mess. Its also not a good sign that zPeti's 2 most important questions he wants answers for, are Round Length and Round Start Date.
