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

well it would of given me a reason to go back out, currently im flying about in a vulture shooting things, getting rather bored, but when i think of going back out on another expedition i just cant seem to get the uumph to do it, so for me, probably would yes. it would take a few days but i would go.

Cool, I will try very hard NOT to give you a reason to fly 17kly ... but you never know!

The thing is, most of the exploring CMDRs aren't equipped with fuel drones right now. I guess they'll outfit them (at least I'm gonna) next time they dock. After we spread out again, you'll have to cross your fingers one of them is near you.

I pulled a 5k Ly number out of a random orifice as my response range. But that's a flexible number.

Good to know, and a very generous random number I must say (I think my own would be around 2kly since that's an hour or so and thus a typical session for me).

Ha! Easy peasy, that's nothing. I'm more afraid of CMDR's such as The Great Erimus, being stuck 64,000LY away... Now that's a challenge!

(No I did not mean for someone to actually do it as a cruel joke)

As someone whose not averse to flying to Sag A several times a month I would obviously expect Anuranium to consider it all in a days work ;)

Depends how much palladium you would leave behind a quiet moon in HIP 1427 when you got back ;)

Seriously though, I would have considered coming out for free, having done exactly that myself...

Were it possible I imagine any explorer would gladly give half of their exploration profits to be rescued from certain death, so enough Palladium to fill a stadium (A Palladium Stadium if you will) would certainly be in the offing.

Just wanted to say to the OP Surly Badger, this idea is totally awesome, and your first post at the top of this thread had me in stitches :)
 
erm, what happened, why did we move posts?

oh i think it was my post put in the Dangerous discussions that the Mod put us in there instead of explorers.....ooops

Geeze, with so many Rats I've got serious doubts most of us will ever see a rescue ;) But at least we're spread out so that when the call comes someone will probably either be a) already close by or b) prepared to go for a long trip out.
 
not going to get any for the next hour now we have been kicked for an update.

Lol.. this is a cool initiative guys! +Rep to the OP.. I was fantasising about the same thing not long ago.

Maybe if you get big enough you could have a station's advertisement poster? :)
 
Well damn. I ran out of fuel yesterday in my Viper. Three Y class Suns in a row and I'm sweating. I have enough fuel for one more jump but I didn't realise that idling in non frame shift also uses fuel, so then I completely run out.

Didnt realise these hose guys existed and self destructed. The ship was cheaper to replace than the 200k in lost bounties, but you live and learn!!
 
I saw this thread when it originally went up. Then I heard the spot on Radio Sidewinder yesterday and again today.

I'll request to add myself once I hop back into the Asp again. Getting bored shooting and hauling things and want to venture out again soon. I'll fit my ship properly even at the cost of some jump range. Won't be pushing the fringe this time anyway -- but if a call goes out from there and I'm the one in the vicinity I'll put on my hiking boots and do my best to get out there.:D

unlucky mate, keep us in mind if it happens again.
 
It's nice to know that the ad created has been generating traffic for The Fuel Rats.
Kinda goes to show the kind of "Market Saturation" Radio Sidewinder has when it's becoming a medium groups are using for Promotion and Player awareness.
 
Sign me up as a rescue pilot. I can get my explorer Asp uprated with the correct modules.

Now, the next thing we need is a galactic tow-truck service... as I suggested during the Kickstarter. ;)
