Description

Environment

MekHQ 0.44.0 Java 1.8 Windows 8.1

Description

So, HQ will track and display an aero's current fuel points but, doesnt look like there is any code to track current fuel / max fuel. And I dont see a fuel part from @Dylan-M 's a928fff? I had to go into my cpnx file and change the Corsairs fuel value from 400 to 200 and reload HQ since we cannot GM edit fuel points but, doesn't show up in the repair bay or allow refueling. I dont see any fuel related options in Campaign Options and also tried turning on the StratOps fuel tracking rule in HQ's megamek options which had no effect. This was brought up by Astn on slack in #mekhq.

I changed fuel left from 400 to 200

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how fuel is currently handled for aerospace units in MekHQ, focusing on the absence of fuel tracking in the repair bay and GM editing. Look into the entity fuel field and repair bay code to understand where refueling logic should be added.
