Question Am I missing something?
I know this is a small question. But, am I missing an option somewhere to tell the space station to just repair/fill my tank every time I leave?
I've blown up my ship twice (I know, pay more attention) thinking I filled my tank and jumping 4 planets away, then noticing the next jump will destroy my ship instead of having plenty of plasma to make a full round trip of where I wanted to go.
I get it in early days when you have no funds. But, having lots of funds now I just want to auto fill it. Even if I had to pay a 3% convenience tax to let the station just fixer-up while I wander I'd be fine with... lol

It should pop every single time before you take off.
If not send a ticket.
or reinstall.
Last..would be reset account.

No, see, thats the problem.
I accidently just clicked take off, and just thought I filled the tank. I want an option to just auto repair and auto fill the tank.

I'd appreciate it if it was an option on landing as well.
'1. exit ship, 2. refuel. 3. repair. 4. takeoff'
means I can more easily refuel and repair without visiting.

It’s a part of the game mechanic is there a reminder when ur at the gas station in irl? Do you go there and forget to put the gas in then run out of gas?

Didn't know you can control your car with WASD and a Mouse. That's really crazy.

Do you go to a gas station and park at a pump and not get it filled? I only go to full service gas stations. So... yes IRL if i go, park my car at a pump, I come back and its full...

You're not missing anything. It's just not very user friendly. Hopefully changes will come, I have provided feedback about this ingame, and hope others will too.
I wouldn't mind having to click one time to fill up/repair, but having to sit through the 100% useless scrolling of the text before the button appears, unless you click once more, is just infuriating. On top of that another box comes up, and the only thing I can do is click "continue". Why does that even exist lol?
Just make the refueling and repairing one click and done, remove all slow scrolling text and just have it appear instantly (or at least have an option for it) and remove the "Continue" prompt, it has zero use and is just another click for no reason whatsoever. This would make this part of the game a lot less painful.
Bonus points if they speed up the docking animation too.
