Badger's right - log out and wait until someone here tells you they're there with a fuel transfer module.

On empty and in a system you cant refuel from

- Start date
As the Surly one said log out I'll be there in a couple of hours, if not sooner.
sad we lost another one to this problem, I dont think 3 minutes is going to cut it.
To anyone reading this, the very instant you realize you are not going to make the next jump, come out of SC, throttle to zero, turn off thrusters, log out immediately and post to fuelrats.org
Once youve posted to the thread, someone will friend you in game, tell them what system you are in privately, theyll head out and you can wing up from there.
We need every second we can get sometimes, I lost someone earlier today due to time limits.
Time really is precious on these missions.

You can really gobble fuel with one of those. How about upgrading your fuel tank or scoop?
When I'm running rares I do it in my Asp so I can go station-to-station without refuelling; but it's tight. If you make one jump wrong you may wind up trying to breathe vaccum.
Was just thinking of the classic elite where a pod would eject and you could pick up the pilot and sell as a slave. Would be cool to add a stasis option to life support. If you eject you could be scooped up and dropped at a station. This would retain all you bounties and maybe some other stuff.

lol pmsl......
i love you fuel rat guys!!! what a great and noble service they provide........probably one of the most realistic groups of real players out there.
this group does something that actually makes a difference in the galaxy.....to help.
Just in case you don't know, you can now use an internal compartment to fit an extra fuel tank. This'll give you more range before needing to scoop - which could be the extra jump you need to get to a scoopable star.
Since you mentioned being somewhere you can't refuel from, I'm assuming one of your internal compartments already has a fuel scoop, which is pretty much required if you want to make long trips through space with no stations.
Of course, all these come at the expense of less cargo space - so it's up to you on risk/reward. I learnt myself that you need to plan your jump routes - with no fuel scoop, plan for stations along the route, preferably stopping one station at least before your fuel runs out and perhaps looking out for alternative systems nearby with a fuelling station that is within one jump. If you have a fuel scoop, only O, B, A, F, G, K and M spectral class stars are scoopable, so you have to plan your route looking out for those. These are based on the actual main-sequence stars using the classification NASA uses... a helpful mnemonic to remember them is 'Oh Be A Fine Girl, Kiss Me'.

That Fuel Rats graphic was a classic... repped.

Now if people only followed the diagram.
Life support systems don't run on wishful thinking and letters to home

Fly brave into the dark, commander, soon you will be a part of the universe and we will all fly together again!
