I seem to remember that in Fifth Frontier War, although I haven't played it in
years, that there was a provision for tankers. This was a necessity if you jump
into a system that does not have a Gas Giant to refuel at. Otherwise you were
stuck in system until you conquered it, then you could refuel from the planet.
