In keeping with the arcade-style of gaming, your vehicle doesn’t require fuel and your weapons don’t require ammo. The only things you have to worry about are your shields, hit points and power (which drains when you use talents). There are no penalties for dying; when your vehicle is destroyed, you are airlifted to the nearest repair station and a few hit points are returned to you (this all takes just a few seconds after dying). Driving onto a repair pad at a station will restore 5% of your hit points every few seconds (for free) and then you’re ready to go again.
