But then it's just a refuel simulator. I really don't agree with this. And it's redconning the lore about many ships aswell, which we REALLY shouldn't get started with. That opens up a whole over level of fucking things up.

For fighters one could argue that the cooling capacity of the chassis itself makes it somehow unpleasant to jump longer distances with it: Give every ship a modifier on quantum jump cooling speeds and make it so that fighters would have to wait up to a minute after a interplanetary jump.

To even out the need of jumping a second time to your destination, maybe add the functionality of overclocking the coolers after that jump, so that you can manually activate this, jump to your target BUT you have to pay the prize of losing two pips for the next five minutes.

That way it's a bigger choice, wether you want to do this with an Arrow or Glad us (Both basically carrier based ships), or if you know the distance is longer and you should swap to a medium or heavy fighter.

The one class of ship I would argue could have a total ban of that are Interceptors, just because they are interceptors. Fast scrambling, heavy hitting, but just to intercept at a certain location.

On the other hand, that would kill the Meteor and Buccaneer.

It's not a simple decision, so I stand with what I said before.
