Asking for a friend, say - hypothetically - a spaceship was filled with fuel and - again hypothetically - was crashed into some random large structure on mars (let's call it a 'starwharf'), what would happen? /s
Its hard to start fires on mars. Not much oxygen in the atmosphere (yet). There would be an explosion, some damage done to the starwhartf, perhaps a few years of repairs needed. However, I intent to make it so that each planet would have its own market so that inter-planetary merchants still have a way to make money.
