FUEL
Airships need fuel. Comets start out with 2 fuel. Each downtime a crew of Comets consumes 1 fuel (2 if it has the costly flaw)
to keep it operational. They get more fuel with their special ability Solarpunk, detailed on page 124.
Depending on fictional circumstances, a GM might apply this need for fuel to other situations. It is assumed airships use
different fuel than other methods of transportation; a more costly upkeep is applied to air travel than other vehicles.
