Hello from a BCM newb! After semi-following all the rants and raves about this game, I finally decided to give it a try...It's made one hell of a first impression on me.
While making a weapons run from Earth to Wraith I forgot to pay any attention to my fuel stores and exhausted my store at a considerable distance from Wraith. After sitting there thinking I'd have to restart my game an idea came to me. "What if I jump in a shuttle with the weapons, head to Wraith to sell, and return with some fuel for the CC". To my surprise, I was able to do just that! Not too many games allow that kind of freedom.
Ok, I think I'm hooked...And yes, I'll watch my fuel from now on. =)
