Is there a cost to sortying? I keep heading out to E-5, and when I get critically damaged and return to base, I have about 140 less fuel than I had before, before I even get around to refueling and rearming my fleet (e.g. I had 780 fuel when setting out, get Red-ed in the first node and return home, to see 640 fuel). It's not just once, but consistently. Is there a game mechanic I've missed?
