Ok, that makes sense. Thanks for taking the time to clarify what was happening. I have to say that this is a really interesting game. Very innovative, and great fun.

Ah, I see. That explains my units using fuel, then. Is other players being able to patent things you have a patent on intended? I think the case of multiple players starting with the perk is fine, but it seems strange to allow research within mission, given that patents are usually exclusive, and would be if researched.

I bought the Water Engine patent as a permanent upgrade in the campaign. When I started the next game it worked, but then towards the end another player patented the Water Engine in their patent lab. This then meant that they (presumably) had it, but my freighters and offworld market started using fuel again. I believe the freighters individually switched over as soon as they landed. <img src="http://img
