Hello there o7

I am making a documentary about the Fuel Rats for a college project. As part of the research section of the assignment, I have made a survey and would really like some responses from you lot (it's only 5 questions). Feel free to share it around as well, but keep in m mind, I am only looking for responses from people who play Elite Dangerous (or at least have an interest in it). Also, please do remember that this is for my college work so, if you do answer it, please take it seriously.

Here's the link -> https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/JWDBFR6

EDIT- This survey is now closed. Thanks to all who answered it, it is a great help. I may post another couple of surveys in the future for different research on the documentary.

For question 2, should I be able to pick "I have heard of the Fuel Rats..." and "I am a Fuel Rat"?
Sort of odd to pick both.

Question 5, it depends how long your documentary is going to be, but i'd keep the rescue process very brief, as it won't interest most. However it sort of has to be mentioned, as it's intrinsic to why and how the rats formed.

Notable rescues may be good for grabbing attention, however the vast majority of rescues are very mundane. From the rat's point of view: call jump -> wait -> jumpjumpjump -> limpet -> debrief.
It might be nice to highlight the solid but unexciting work most rats do, as the flashy stuff all too often gets attention, and skews the narrative.
For example here's a typical rescue I did (for my 400th):

Other stuff maybe worth mentioning was the classic advert Radlock did:

I presume you know to drop into iRC #RatChat and to talk to the older rats on the history etc?
Look forwards to seeing the end result o7

Hello,

Here's a link to my thread for the finished documentary and a feedback survey. It would be great if people could check it out.

"The Fuel Rats of Elite Dangerous" Documentary

Hello Commanders, Some of you may have seen a previous thread I made a while ago about making a documentary about The Fuel Rats for my final major assignment at college. Well, it's finished. Now, as part of my assignment I need feedback on the video. So, it would be a great help for commanders...
