Nope either. Checked nav panels and only had systems. Checked filters and nothing was wrong. You absolutely need a scanner, however bad, to have things pop on radar/left hand panel. Or so it has been for me since 1.4 I think.
Rats, WE NEED TO THINK FAST !
<xlexious> 10089 rescues
<Kerenn> we passed 10 K ?
<xlexious> yup
<CrunchyBaton955|work> 10k successful?
<Kerenn> WHY HAS NO ONE CELEBRATED !
<xlexious> no, 10k total
<CrunchyBaton955|work> still awesome
<Stinja> when's 10k success?
<xlexious> 9580 successful
<Kerenn> where do you see those numbers ?
<xlexious> I am the database overlord
* Falcon_JSDF[XB1] has joined
<Kerenn> need link nao
<xlexious> there is no link I'm directly quering the database in shell
<xlexious> should probably add back these statistics to the new leaderboard
<xlexious> success rate, total rescues
<Zatie[PC]> Impressive number nonetheless!
<Kerenn> xlexious, could you monitor this ? We need to do something special to celebrate the 10k success
Throw you best ideas ! By the look of things, this could happen next week. (or sooner, the universe sometimes is scary).

WOW. That's impressive Rats! Good I happen to have a Rattatoon that (nearly) fits at the ready, just if my dear son wouldn't have painted ink all over it ...
... yet now I have the chance to adjust it to the 10k celebration. Well call it fate

Let's see, we NEED a galnet post, probably also a mention in the FD newsletter (especially seeing as they've totally run out of their own awesome to put in it).
One other idea I've had ... could someone put up a list of the ten most popular places for rescues to happen (actually I can probably work it out from that cool dot diagram on fuelrats.com - how long has that been there?, absolutely love it) - I've got an idea for a(nother?) commemorative Buckyball race.
Actually I wonder if we should aim higher ... perhaps a PC Gamer article? (how would we go about making that happen I wonder).
Oh and I should probably do another "... since 3301" poster aswell

YESYESYES! PC Gamer would be great, if it's not too narrow for them as a topic.
I am as well on a poster, might have to speed up the work at that now

A fuel rats movie would be great but rats (living in sewers most of the time or the darkness of space rescuing cmdrs) don't have eyes that handle lens flares too well! JJ might need to sit it out!
How about a gold paintjob for Wollheim Vision station! Don't think that it would be a goer but it would be pretty cool.
Other suggestions:
A 10k commemorative SRV race.
A tee shirt in our loot with the names of every CMDR in the first 10k saved on it. Who will forever be known as "The 10k". Not sure if we have that data though or how we can get it as a genuine list.
Can't really think of anything above and beyond what has already been suggested other than I have an idea for a 'logo/rosette' design that we can use for whatever we fancy but don't know if such a thing would be of interest.

Just looking at the Google Sheet we used to have I know we've got that data (just in database form now). Question is, whether you could fit all the names on a shirt, keep it legible, and keep it cheap.
Yes thats true. 10k names would take up a rather large area. Much more than available on a T shirt unless the writing was very small.
I was thinking just a continuous list of names in a huge paragraph without columns or rows or full stops etc in a darker base colour with the words 10k visible in a large size made by changing the colour of some of the names to a lighter shade to form the letters, would look awesome. But even that would be very large and probably not fit the shirt. Damn us for being so proficient at rescuing!

talk about lens flare.. # of accidents while coming in to dock rise to extreme levels after new station paintjob blinds incoming pilots
Draw a fuel rat with 10k beneath it made up of all the names of the pilots who contributed and reduce it to a suitable size. You would know the names are there, they make up the image, but it would fit on a t-shirt.
- Are you stranded,
- Breathing in a vacuum?
- Lost in the middle of nowhere?
There is a solution!!
Call the Fuel Rats!!!
1. http://www.fuelrats.com/i-need-fuel/
2. say: RATSIGNAL: NAME | SYSTEM NAME | EMERGENCY OXYGEN (NO/YES) | PLATFORM
3. You'll be on your way in no time

Not a bad shout.
