Just a small idea, if a Craft armament could modify the fuel capacity of a craft it could allow us to make some interesting trade offs in equipping craft for particular purposes such as scouting or in managing thouse far-far away UFO's. While were at it added radar radius would also be a possible effect.
Naturally this would require programming fuelMax and radarRange as excepted values on craft armaments and to modify the vehicle when attached and removed, I doubt the current code even uses dynamic values for these effects and just reads from the rule files so this would likely be a good bit of work perhaps most appropriate for the OpenXcomEx mod.

This has actually been done in X-Pirates. They have a boster, a targeter and a sheald.

X-PirateZ (https://youtu.be/iDuMp2kDxos) has done a lot of crazy things you wouldn't think possible but Dioxine is strong in the way of Ruleset-Fu.

Actually it was Yankes who coded those things. X-Piratez uses his Openxcom Extended, which has plenty of additional cool mechanics and can be used with normal X-Com games, as long as you edit the rulesets to make them use the new elements.

Aux fuel tank too, but it's disabled for now.
