How would players react if ccp games added a game mechanism where you had to refuel your active ship after using it for a cetain amount of time depending on the size of the ship's fuel tank?

I like crazy plans

Wspacers would be super pissed.

Empire players might be, though not to the same extent.

Logistics directors would shoot CCP.

What would this accomplish other than being a huge annoyance to everybody and a disincentive to using your ship at all?

There would be a mixture of reactions from the players.

Adding an industry product to increase the complexity of EvE. It could be a really basic PI product so W-spacers could go on do their thing. Wouldn't make sense to use a non universally available fuel...

It would probably limit fleet engagements and movements or at least interrupt them, so that would be a annoying. I'm in favor of deepening EvE but not like this.

unnecessary complication to an already complicated game. Plays right into the hand of the anti- AFK cloaking crowd.

Despite my posting prowess I really am terrible at this game

I like the idea, longer distance you want to roam, you have to bring smaller ships. Screw alpha nado fleets.

Poorly.
Tedium is never a good game mechanic.

As long as we assume they are similar to nuclear submarines I am fine with having to refuel once every 25 years or so.

I see it more as a 'nerf cloaking thread'

Which would be a mistake in my view.

This is not a signature.

And if fuel was needed to power ships then the market would probably be overloaded with it pretty quickly.
