I am in the process of preparing a Gas Mining Mod for submission to the developers.
Part of this process is considering how to implement the economic side of things. To this end - what would people think if H-Fuel was no longer buyable from bases?
This means if you wanted to have some for RP purposes - you would have to buy it off someone else, pirate it, or go out to a Gas Miner and mine it yourself (the fields have a default drop rate).
Note - this only means non-buyable, not non-sellable!
I still disagree with this to be honest... GMG are already going to get a different commodity for mining without raping H-Fuel trading. I'd rather be able to choose if I want to trade H-Fuel or mine something as GMG, rather than be forced to just mine.
From what I recall of the infocard, H-fuel is a mix of hydrogen, deuterium, and helium (or something similar). The GMG mines individual chemicals from the gas fields, primarily hydrogen and helium, and then turns these chemicals into refined H-fuel at their bases.
It might make more sense to simply make the gas fields in the sigmas drop those commodities, rather than h-fuel itself.

Agreed. Or some type of raw H-Fuel......raw fuel or unrefined H-fuel?
