Fuel Rats sabotaging Fuel Scoops!

Beware fly-next-to-empty-scoopers!

Recent developments show that it's possible our so-called saviours The Fuel Rats seek to maximize their profits with a most criminal method! Precise proofs have yet to be found, as this conspiracy goes deep into the management centres of our core systems. And yet, I have reasons to believe they engaged a millions-heavy deal with fuel scoop factories. I suspect them to increase the demand for their rescue services by paying the CEOs in questions good sums for built-in mysterious scoop-failures! If I stand corrected, this may only be the first step to building a criminal system, where The Fuel Rats and the leading fuel scoop manufacturers merge into one, literally fuel-driven, empire! Forget what you hear about powerplay! Where will politics go, if every ship, be it your tiny Sidewinder or the mighty Majestic-class interdictor, runs on the very last drop of fuel? Fuel that this empire will control!

Raise before it's too late! Go out there and collect proofs against this foremost dangerous conspiracy before it's too late! Be it the loyal subject of the empire, the moral-driven federalist or the free member of the alliance! If those criminals will succeed in their plans, all our ideals will be devoured by their greedy ideals!

Stand up! For the empire! For order! For freedom!


(Disclaimer: I do not seek to damage the reputation of the Fuel Rats. I love what they do and appreciate with with every fibre of every ship I own. This merely is meant for fun purposes and not to be taken as a serious offence against any real player.)



 
Rumours of our lobbying to ban fuel scoops and our recent purchase of vast volumes of shares in fuel-transfer drones are baseless and unsubstantiated.

What do you mean I look shifty? :D
 
None of this is true, what utter nonsense!

Cooper Scoopers,
the number 1 brand in fuel scooping.
Fuel Rats say: never leave home without it.
 
I don't see what you're talking about. We *cough*almost*cough* never harm anyone.

EDIT : what are the screenshots for ?

You've got a dodgy power plant, nowt to do with us.

I've probably got a new one in the hold though, yours for 25 mill.

may i ask where this power plant came from ?
perhaps there is a stranded scrapped ship somewhere now with no chance of returning home eh?
does the plant still have the pin number?warranty?

Do you want a working power plant or do you want to sit there and watch the frost creep across your canopy while the oxygen runs out? It's your call, there's plenty of people will buy this power plant off me without asking so many questions.

They're the first proof that this isn't paranoia. In the first the fuel scoop should be scooping, but isn't. It came with a business card of The Fuel Rats..

Ah I see you were in a Vulture dear sir. If I were you I'd have a word with the manu........(intercom buzzes)

Ah no, tell the rep from Core Dynamics I am a little busy at the moment.

:D
 
Pah, thats nothing. We are working on a viral subroutine so once the fule limpet attaches, for some strange reason you start abandoning cargo. Of course we will blame it on pilot error.

You know what? Do to Core Dynamics what you want! Sneak your rats into their leading positions; I don't care. I'm off to Faulcon DeLacy, where life is still honest and beautiful. You better keep a good distance to their CEO. The whole lot of you! This is an honourable company, and the last of such if need be! I can only be afraid of imagining what you guys and Lakon Spaceways are negotiating...


Thread should be moved to role play forum.

I actually posted this in the Discussion forum to raise attention to occasionally not properly working fuel scoops. I can confirm this to be the case on different machines, so it's likely that other players may suffer the same. Just trying to keep the Fuel Rats as jobless as possible with this one, and for good at that. Admittedly, the form I chose may not bring that much of an impact on it, but my proper bug report hopefully does.
 
Sounds to me like you either have a substandard power distributer or you had the scoop installed by a shoddy, third party, service mech. I don't trust those blasted things farther than I can throw 'em, which isn't far seeing how they way two tons...
