Post No Engine
I see a lot of problems with new players undocking without engines...

Add some sort of feature that gives a coalfurnace automatically with /outfithull if no engine is equipped. Uni reset does this automatically I believe

So long as this subtracts the appropriate amount of credits from the player's account I'd say yes.

I think that there should definitely be a warning system set in place, simple to do like the shield one.

The last time i checked back in c1 the shield warning didn't check if you actually had a shield equipped and powered just that you currently had some shields in your bank. I would like that to be changed to a check if you have a powerd shield.

Currently we made it so that you cannot un-dock without a engine equipped below I think level 10 or 20. We'll hopefully be able to get a confirmation box or something in the future. But for the moment that should at least cut down on the significant amount of new players floating off when they buy their first engine.

The price isn't even a problem .. they barely cost a rat kill. But for principle sake; so long as they are twigged so that the player can't sell them back to the ai base for more than say 1 credit.
