The sugar rocket engine (and possibly the CO2 rocket engine) allows free entry into orbit and free exit from orbit, costing zero fuel and zero oxidizer to leave or enter the asteroid. As long as the rocket targeted a position which is adjacent (in orbit) to the launching platform's home asteroid (zero space map movement) no fuel or oxidizer will ever be consumed.
Steps to Reproduce
- Build a valid sugar engine (possibly also CO2 engine) rocket
- Fuel the rocket and observe the total fuel and oxidizer count; note this
- Select any of the initially adjacent space hexes to the home asteroid as the destination
- Launch the rocket to one of those 6 spaces
- Land the rocket as soon as the option becomes available
- Repeat steps 3-5 multiple times
- Observe the fuel and oxidizer values after multiple take-offs and landings. There should be no change.
Balance and gameplay issues:
- Free CO2 for its various uses.
- Free heat for its various uses.
