It didn't work for me with gmx either. If you have a Google account try it with gmail, that has worked for me.

Okay, thanks. Just ... how do you change the email for your nick in IRC? Nickserv set email doesn't work for the nick is not confirmed ...
My video editing skills are about on par with my other media skills. Unfortunately.
Is this worth making a series out of? I've been capturing a bunch of footage of some rescues and non-rescues, trying to assemble a bit of visual history about what it's like to be a Fuel Rat. Perhaps someday in a couple years, historians will examine this material and gawk and what things were like back in the stone-age of Elite.

Looks about right Badger. Generally these days it's 7000 jumps for me and 1 jump for the nearest rat as there are so many now that we have one in every system 
Nice. A simple straightforward demonstration of the life of a rat. But the next one should show some results
The next one shows me really blowing my side of a rescue, while another Fuel Rat successfully saves the client as I wallow around making fail-noises all over the place. I want to use these videos to illustrate that being a Fuel Rat is only 99.999999999999% glory and Snickers bars; sometimes if you're not on the ball you can /facepalm pretty badly. I have to say, shadowplay is ruthless: you can sit there and watch every agonizing second of yourself alt-tabbing and mousing around and bumbling at the keyboard.
Eventually maybe I'll be able to record a successful rescue. That's going to depend on when I can do a sucessful rescue.
I've been discovering that there's a big difference Rat-running in the bubble and doing the more slow-unfolding operations like Op Neospike or TheHairyMob.There are mistakes to be made and glory to let slide through your grasping fingers! Tune in for the next episode, uh, whenever I get around to it.
(Edit: I also have the amazing Phil Rossi cooking up some theme music, to help distract from my piloting errors)

Haha yes I remember facepalming a couple of rescues back where I shot the client with a beam laser. Not cool man.
Oooh yes. And I managed to screeeeeeech all along an Eagle with my lumbering DBX and get the poor bird down to 11%. Not even by accidential boost but simply by misreading my radar and heading to the client with too much enthusiasm.
Boy was I sweating.
Yes I had inadvertantly switched my firegroup. You imagine my surprised look when instead of a limpet flying off toward the client I instead dispatched 20 odd mega joules of beam energy into their hull!

High-energy refueling
Maybe you thougt he had solar cells?That's also why I would love to see RatAssists in the PW, and counting as Rescues for the Rats Leaderboard. It could get a bit frustrating when you jumped around for three rescues but got none as the actual Rescuer.
For a valid RatAssist, assignment to the case by the Dispatch and maybe even firing a limpet, or being in sys before rescue, could be requirements.
All this if it is technically doable without too much work, of course.

Like it and looking forward to more, warts and all!
Haha well I didn't shoot on purpose, I try not to kill people unless I have to. I certainly wouldn't take ratting payment out on your hull!

Yep me too brother. Doesn't stop me being a twonk and having the wrong fire group selected!
I'm happy the rails don't fire instantly when i forget to switch weapon-groups...
I wanted to point to this nice video a recent client posted from his point-of-view:

Oh that is glorious, so amazing to see a code red rescue from the client's perspective. I've attempted to embed the video here in order to make it a little bit easier for people to watch 'cos it's wonderful.

Nice boop at the end there ...
Hi fellow Fuel Rats, I'm CMDR FEDERICODANIEL, a recently addition to the fuel rats with one successful rescue. I'll probably be making some newbie questions. The first one being: who verifies the paperwork? I find the information on the leaderboard prone to falsification.
