I actually discussed that, and for the most part - the fuel for the ships is just oxygen and hydrogen - there's no real need to "produce" it as a separate item at this point - though higher tech engines might end up needing special fuel. The engines fire, the blast baffles capture much of the water vapor produced by the burning of hydrogen and oxygen, and recycle it, so it doesn't show at this point in the accounting in the game. I argued for it at one point, as part of a huge revamp for the whole trading system, but for now, Marc wants to get other parts done and up to snuff before tackling a major increase in the code complexity. And he's not sure anyone would really want to make things that much more complicated.
