Where I am, Tescoo built a huge out-of-system superstore with cheap fuel, and all the local fuel stations were forced out of business.

RL(tm) catches up with the Ooniverse - and if you spend more than 50Cr on Lavian Tree Grubs this weekend, we'll give you 0.05Cr per LY off your next fuel bill...

I wonder if it's still efficient when you have the Far Sun OXP installed.
I guess it depends on exactly how far the sun is. Would it take longer to go through the spacelanes, being masslocked, attacked and such, or just go to the sun using the torus drive? I know it's less risky.
Not necessarily when you have the OXP for the Deep Space Pirates running :D

Not sure about improved time efficiency, but can be the calmer refuelling option following a perfectly innocent mistake involving some plasma turrets and a Coriolis Station... :lol:
