it's just a question my brother asked because he already was using a design with 2 cargo pods and 1 fuel pod and realized he didn't have enough fuel to do stuff...so he was wondering whether it was a waste to make the design have all fuel pods since it will be more fuel than he needs for short range planets. do players typically though privateer users use two designs..one all cargo and one all fuel pods? i've never played factoried, so i dont know lol

Depends on what engines you're using and (since this is IT) the extent of your gate network.

In the general case, all fuel pods is best if using the Fuel Miser or worse engines (in the latter case, you'll need boosters).

If the ships are moving (almost entirely) by gate or have good ramscoops (TGFS and up) then they don't need all fuel pods (TGFS without IFE uses less than half the fuel of the FM with IFE).

Likewise, ships that don't need to move loaded (looking specifically at IS pop-maintenance orgies here, though it's a little OT) don't need good engines or fuel pods.
