#StarTrekVoyager would've involved a lot less drama if they could extract fuel from stars like in #EliteDangerous.
In the latter, it is perfectly normal to cross the whole galaxy, stopping every few systems to gather fuel from the star you're flying by. Imagine how impossible that'd be if you couldn't approach stars to collect it.
Except…wait a minute…Voyager totally can approach stars. It does so in the intro. 
Why is fuel always so scarce, then?
