Assistance Required - Self-inflicted stranding in Via Maris

Hi Cmdrs, rank stupidity forces me to ask for help.

I have (once again) allowed my FC to get too low on fuel to extract me from a system I neutron jumped into - like an idiot, I forgot to jump the carrier along my route so it stayed within single full fuel tank range.

Carrier has loads of Tritium onboard so situation is redeemable if a fellow Cmdr is willing to visit the FC, purchase Tritium (at lowest sell price obviously) then donate to carrier to replen its tanks... Only needs fuel transfer sufficient for 2 or 3 jumps..

Costs - Ignoring travel time, probably 10 minutes work to save me having to self-destruct :), purchase price for the Tritium donations
Reward - eternal gratitude, gratification from doing a good deed and as much Tritium as you can carry away from my FC!!

Carrier will be in RHUECT YV-C D2, I'm in HD 211072

Alternative would be for an FC pilot to drop into HD 211072 and give me a single jump lift "upwards" so I can route to my FC and fuel it myself...

Thanks in advance to any volunteers in the area that can (and want to) help :)

LOL - please ignore the cry for help (but note that total dumbass label still stands) :)

HD 211072 has an in-system neutron star - a quick 400kls and I'm boosted - DOH!!!!!!

Edit - it gets worse - while plotting my boosted exit, I've found a system only 151Ly away that does not show up as a good route when using the galmap plotter (I have 158-163Ly L34-boosted range). C'mon FD, fix the plotter :)

I always seem to have issues using Neutron boost plotting when they are not the primary star. I don't even bother anymore as it's much quicker to move on.

Its probably because we get so accustomed to jump, scoop, jump even with neutrons that we forget the other stars in a system.

I guess I was also focusing on the problem and A solution rather than looking for other solutions..

For secondary neutron stars, don't plot route, instead select the star as a target, then jump.
