Never too XP to send up the Ratsignal🐀

Even prayers to the Simguru Pranav Antal himself could not stop me from needing the Fuel Rats this morning. I had just purchased my first Mamba to expedite my weekly PPv2.0 missions. I planned to upgrade to 5A thrusters immediately & I set off. However, I got caught out on my maiden voyage in orbit of a Y Brown Dwarf, amongst a cluster of T & L dwarfs. Furiously dumping cargo was ineffective to increase my jump range sufficiently.

I admit to being nervous, alone in the dark, outside the warmth of Utopia. I can only surmise that the sneaky LYR dealership had tampered with my HUD & sent me away without a full tank of fuel. Tapping the Mamba's HUD glass, the gauge needle suddenly jumped to <5% fuel! I knew this Utopian had been duped, & that my predicament was nowt to do with being habituated to a 32t fueltank Orca & an utter lack of attention.

New Cmdrs & old hands alike, the wisdom I share with you is that you should never be too proud to send up the Ratsignal. 🔦 Cmdr @A Cheesy Potato of the #fuelrats filed paperwork for their 85th rescue this morning, I 🫡 salute you, & I appreciate not losing my cartographic hoard en route to the defence of my Utopian stronghold.
Through innovative technology we shall create paradise.

To compound my day, that title grammar will now shame me forever!

No matter how experienced the CMDR, we all make mistakes. Whether it be a distraction, fatigue, lack of knowledge, or a pesky dealership skimping on the fuel load, there sometimes comes a time when we all need a helping hand out in the cold, unforgiving darkness of space.

It doesn't matter if you're a new CMDR fresh out the academy, or an old veteran who's been to every corner of the galaxy, you should never be too proud to put up that signal.

Thank you CMDR DJ, may your fuel stars be plentiful, your honks bountiful, and your victories plentiful.

Fly safe, CMDR o7
