Thank the stars for the Fuel Rats

SongMinKi · Jul 20, 2015

ran out of fuel 10Mm from a station because i grazed too closely to a planet and it dropped my SC speed down to a halt. Had saved up about 325,000,000 cr worth of assorted bounties and combat bonds along with my 20,000,000 cr insurance. hats off to you fuel rats.

325 MILLION ??

Glad you were saved though

SongMinKi · Jul 20, 2015

well the actual number itself was like 200 million but ALD made it 325 million

They are a group of players who help out stranded Commanders with empty tanks. Never had to ask for their help, but I think it's a wonderfully charitable Elite community idea. If I wasn't running the worst Asp in the galaxy - I'd think about signing up to help them out. It's a much more meaningful interaction then pew-pew-lulzur-d3ad.

First off...way to go fuel rats!!!

Im seeing more of these saves in the forums lately...they really are a benefit to the game.

But 300 mil?

DAMN!!! Ive been playing since release and barely have 10% of that...and only 4 ships in hangar...im either highly impressed, or very sad ...its hard to decide.

well if you no life the game like i did you could do it too. I saved up more than a weeks worth of bounties and combat bonds because my conda was already at full outfit so i didnt need the money

Are those 325mil the same bounties and CBs you asked about clearing from your list just 7 days ago then ?

I picked up sporadic bounties and CBs from random things and now its clogging up my bounties list, is there a way to clear it without blowing myself up? I like having a clean list, but i like being alive more.

Probably not, considering you blew yourself up with 30mil in unclaimed bounties the day after.

so i forgot to cash my 30M in bounties and bonds before blowing myself up in a sidewinder...

SongMinKi · Jul 20, 2015

^ yes youre absolutely right. whoops
(though i admit the 30m in bounties might have been a slight embellishment, but i swearzies it was lots of credits, like, this much *holds up hands*)

XD yes, well done, im quite embarrassed now.

edit; though even without that 30m, i still saved well over 300m worth of credits. roughly 200M Cr of bounties and bonds actual, multiplied by 1.6 from ALD goodness

I'm just glad The Fuel Rats saved you. We save expensive people in pimpin' Anacondas and new CMDRs right out of flight school in their starter Sidewinders; we don't care. If we can save you, we probably will.
