Keeping track of Life Support and Fuel

<ul><li>How important (in your campaigns) is it to keep track of Life Support and Fuel consumption?</li><li>Do you require Player's to track their ships maint costs and fuel costs?</li><li>Do you simply abstract these? The information on the Ship Record Sheet is for fun/reference only.</li><li>Anything else you want to tell us?</li></ul><br />I like the idea of keeping track of these items. It feels gritty and gives the Frontier a &quot;real&quot; feel in my mind. I also understand it could become cumbersome to Player's and Ref's. I guess in a campaign you could simply state, &quot;The ship fuel indicator blinks yellow. You have 5 days of fuel left and since you skipped out during your last visit to Gollywog space station your ship is under-repaired.&quot;<br /><br />
