Question

I was wondering if there was a way to make some kind of custom commodity that depletes constantly, and when it's gone it affects the ship. Here's what I mean.

You buy 30 units of gas, and when the gas runs out, if you are still in space, your ship's engines turn off and you go into kill engine mode, and you can't get out of kill engine unless you get more gas.

Is this possible? And if it is, can someone explane how it could be done.

No, I don't think it's possible to do such a thing.

Sorry.

You could do it via power, its not what you have asked for but you could reduce the powerplant recharge and add capacity.
The engine would be set to have a constant power draw. When the player docked their power would be restored.
Not sure how you could balance weapons with it though, you might need to remove the power usage of all weapons (which would be a bit crap) and shields, and keep power only for the engine.
The thruster would have to be allowed a minimal thrust recharge from the powerplant so that if the power ran out, you could no longer cruise but could still use thrusters.
