Horizons No Stars to use my Fuel scoop ,,,,almost out of fuel ,,,,4 jumps to next fuel station ,,,,,waaa

Um Yeah In a bit of a fix...... Not much fuel left to go to next station for fuel .....Im at
System Col 285 Sector RP-A a 16-2 what happens when there aren't enough stars that you can get fuel from with an fuel scoop .... cause I'm doing some hauling to a few systems in the bubble and there has been only red stars so you might know that you can't scoop them to fill your tank up with anyone know what I can do now.......Thanks all Commander Nettie out [smile]

If the Rats can't get to you, try using Economical Route planner to get to a scoopable star, you'll be amazed how far a tiny bit of fuel can get you.
 
Unless you're running some ridiculously short-range ship, there should always be something scoopable within a jump or two (galaxy map filters FTW?), even in the brown dwarf clusters.
 
A worthy lesson to all to use the galaxy map filters. Untick all the types of star you can't scoop from, tick the "apply to my current route" box, and only ever jump to scoopable stars.

This isn't helpful for the OP, but the above advice covers that. All hail the Rats.
 
Were/are there Rats online to help you? I'm actually very near your system at the moment if you get desperate enough to take an amateur rescue :D
 
Already taken care of :)

Soo nice Rats <3
Cookie is giving Lessons also :)

Try using economical route. Perhaps it can get you to a scoopable.

I don't have any trouble as all my ships have fast fuel scoops and good jump ranges but could you explain exactly where these galaxy map filters are? I must be getting old as I can't seem to find them in the Galaxy map anywhere.

Cheers, GD
 
Sure.
Galaxy map.
Plot your route.
Fourth icon across.
Untick all the non-scoopable stars.
Toggle the "apply filter to route" thing at the bottom.
Tada.

Picture for clarification.

What happened, did Cmdr Nettle survive this OK in the end?

The Fuel Rat's tagline always make me laugh; We have fuel. You don't. Any questions?

Classic .. and chuckling at that line, yet again now.
 
Nice to see the Fuel Rats doing another rescue.
We need limpets that can repair ships.

For their services to the game they should have one that only the fuel rats can use, one to replace a broken Cockpit Canopy or give you more time on your
life support air.
I would gladly pay half the replacement cost of my ship to them if this was possible. I lost my anaconda just at the docking bay the life support ran out
