Newcomer / Intro Cautionary Newbie error (but with little consequence other than embarrassment).

Fuel.

We all need it to get about. We all have heard the terrible tales of those that get lost in deep space without it, and we probably have all heard of the 'Fuel Rats' (i think they are called).

This is not that. This is simply about buying Hydrogen Fuel as cargo, to use later to refuel my ships and then discovering you can't do that (that i can tell). I could do it in Elite (iirc), i certainly could do it in Frontier (Elite 2) and FFE.

So don't buy fuel as cargo to use to refuel your ships, it's a newbie error to avoid

You can buy fuel tanks instead of cargo racks.

Well, that's progress for ya.
We also can't let the escape pods expire and then sell the contents as meat anymore, so... You know. Win some, lose some.

Or try a fuel scoop which allows you to...wait for it...scoop fuel.
I'll take my hat.
