Thats why it should be optionable.. If you play without having any idea of your refinarys stations status, i would say your not much of a strategist. I still think it should be optionable, because then you actually can choose depending on what type of player you are.. If all your refinarys are destroyed you are pretty dead anyway, and 5000 RU wont do any good.. Imagine instead how alla refinarys are dead, and you just have recieved 5000 RU, and your enemies whole fleet comes to your mother ship.. not much of a chanse of survival. What could be cool is some maps with a fixed RU, and a steady income, and some maps with refinarys.. Kinda like arena and regular maps. As for me for example, i love the whole resource handling, as long as it is made easy, and doesnt take to much time. To be able to nock out a player without even coming in real contact with em is really fun, and then massacrate them is real strategy in my opion...
