Fuel Store FSD Boost

[TheDragon2001]

You can stick various substances into your FSD to boost it and you can scoop up ‘exotic particles’ from jet cones to boost your FSD, so it would make sense for stations to be able to boost your FSD too.

There would be three options, Standard Boost (50% boost, equal to Standard Synthesis Injection and white dwarf jet cone boost.), Premium Boost (100% boost, equal to Premium Synthesis Injection.), and Overload boost (200% boost, less than a neutron boost.).

Buying a boost from the Fuel Store would cost an appropriate amount of credits and then be immediately applied. As is standard, a boost would only be usable for the next hyperspace jump.

Side note: this would also make the fuel store feel more like a valid service, as opposed to only having two options.

Why not just have them sell jumponium? This is a rather strange mechanic to want in game, most stations are in the bubble where boosted jumps don't matter anyway.

I want this for two reason.
1. It would be helpful to get a 'catapult' out into space when leaving to go exploring, or when making a longer trip (Pleiades, witch head, coalsack, etc.) Not that these locations are far away but I would like to be able to get places faster.
2. It would be helpful getting around the bubble, even though it isn't necessary, it would just be convenient to be able to get a boost.
I certainly wouldn't be using every day, but I would like to have it available when I want it. I prefer to use the injection materials elsewhere.

Or do this from Jackson's Lighthouse--free neutron boost from a bubble location.
2nd point is fair, but you can just spend the mats to get it anyway if its just a minor convenience thing.

Just use Jackson's or boost yourself. Not sure why a station would want the liability of offering substances the fsd is not rated for.
