More stations for bigger maps?

[lordawesome001]

I like to play big games but playing with only 4 stations makes it hard fuel wise so can more be added based on game size? If there are more i have never seen one.

Fuel is the big challenge for big maps. I quite like it that way. There are a few more possible fuel sources, though.

[+] Spoiler

* There is a planet that may generate with an infinite fuel supply. Used by pirates(?). You can just land there, walk up to the tank and refil for free.

* Some gas planets have ancient fuel stations

* You can buy fuel at the main pirate planet.

* You can use a hydrogen scoop on gas planets (although this is not risk free).

* The hydrogen scoop descriptive text says you can refuel from gas clouds. Unfortunately this does not actualy work. :(

* In the late game wormholes are much more useable and will often make impossible trips easy.
