Out of Fuel? - Explorer Rescue Service, The Fuel Rats

Domaq said pretty much everything there is to say :)

Although we had more problems with griefers eavesdropping in #fuelrats and using normal clients as bait. Private groups worked like a charm in the last "season". :D

We speak multiple languages, we rescue people anywhere, we don't discriminate and rescue all as well as welcome all to our ranks even if their English isn't 100%. We are generally awesome and like snickers..
Apart from that I always like to hear about the special rescues like Neospike and the LRR's so maybe a quick mention of one or two of them if you have the space :D

Don't give them the satisfaction of being able to report you. No biggie at the moment but not worth a fresh post in the forums. :p

Better idea...

Run Mouse Run.

Combat logging is against the EULA. F-Dev will potentially ban you for doing this. It is cheating. I wholeheartedly encourage rats to not combat log, regardless of the circumstance. People griefing rats is nothing new, we endure and we carry on delivering fuel.

If you're worried about being griefed while ratting; fly something cheap, fly something fast or fly something that can shoot back.

I am good at High Waking and I apologize, I forgot Combat Logging is illegal, thought it was just "socially unacceptable" and looked down on.. which irks me as it is still legal to force PVP yet not to just leave *shrug* . I know full well what I am getting into when Ratting it is just the crap with SDC brought up.

If you're a rat in an Asp that's rigged for fast scooping and jumping, and you get attacked, think of it as a piloting exercise - you ought to be able to get out of there with some damage.

A couple days ago I was set upon by 3 CMDRs who tag-teamed me very nicely and blew up my ship; a 10m/cr+ rebuy. Aaaaand, "so what?" I nearly got away, which would have been pretty frosty. But I didn't. So there are some jerks out there who can be proud that with 3 FAS they were able to take out a mining-rigged 'conda that never fired a shot at them. Such badasses (golf clap) ...

Its not so funny when you are in a Sidewinder or Cobra and you have come back to the bubble after 4 months of solid exploring and they set up a tag match where you are the ball, no shields usually means your gonna die really quickly no matter how much you boost away, they can catch you and mass lock you all while leisurely taking it turns to shoot you.

Top tip for explorers -> Enter the bubble at the top or bottom. Don't pick the obvious entry points (Soethis, Obsidian Orbital etc) and plan in advance to find a station close to the star (under 100Ls).
Assuming you can make it in to the first station you should be golden to re-outfit for combat/defence and proceed to your sell point(s). Alternatively have a combat ship waiting.

With the amount of players and the likelihood of you running into them it simply shouldn't happen if you don't make it obvious where you are going...

That is harsh. Those guys probably sounded like Beavis and Butthead giggling as they shot you too.
