      Why do ships continue to burn fuel when you’ve set the speed to 0? Shouldn’t you be able to turn a ship off completely and just float in open space? Am I missing a rather obvious command that’d allow this?

      You should still be able to shut off life support and be okay for a while.

      Probably not, though. I’d imagine that life support would be something that has to run near-constantly.

      If you could safely shut it off for a while, it’d have to work that much harder as soon as you turn it back on. If anything, it’d waste fuel.

      Life support is one. Yes, you -might- be fine on an ISD, as they have plenty of empty space. An X-wing? MAYBE five minutes of air in there? ALSO, shields. Not the deflector shields that you can turn on and off… the projectile shields that are 100% always on, to protect the ship from collisions, micrometeorites, et al.

      Star Trek calls those the "Navigational deflectors"

      I call them plot devices.
