Fuel doesn't have to mean fossil fuels. Even in a theoretical antimatter reaction, something ought to be consumed. You'd need to replenish those reactors eventually with whatever was feeding that reaction, though with fission or fusion as a model that can be a very long time. So if range is a factor of logistical supply, why can a ship simply park itself at the end of its range forever without returning to a starbase, planet or shipyard? Are there hundreds of littl

Ship range makes no sense. A ship can cruise out to its max range and stay there in the middle of deep space until a new engine tech is researched, upgrade itself in the middle of deep space, and then continue on to its next max range. What? Each ship should have a range that depends on fuel capacity like the system in Sword of the Stars. You run out of fuel, you’re dead in the water. Or, under the assumption these ships have some sort of react
