Just in case I go "pop"..and also I am assuming you dont need the extra tank to help them refuel right?
Cause doesnt cost much...if far in the deep blue I would just go off and self destruct after service.
Yeah, we need that as an alternate. I like that slogan!
I posted a logo up earlier in the thread in a spoiler.
Its my preferred version and now my twitter logo (hope you don't mind the theft)
as long as no one minds my theft since the original logo wasnt mine, I just added the slogan.
was wondering when that would get turned into an off color comment, congrats!
I'm about 5 jumps out, would be happy to earn my stripes, CMDR name?
i dont have a lot of oxygen (i think i shud mention this)
i mean i have like 12 minutes so i logged off
should i do anything?

i am online now------------
GREAT WE MADE CONTACT! things look a bit more better now. 12 minutes of air and the ship is frozen.
weird....because this has NEVER happened to me before, guess i shud be happy about that.
what were FD thinking when they stripped the emergency beacon?

If you're short on oxygen, don't go back into your cockpit until you're contacted by a Fuel Rat. Stay in the main menu until you get the friend request and start arranging the rendezvous

Instructions sent, and on my way to help client
really appreciate this guys! erm?...i don' t have Visa, how do we sort out the payment part?
ps preserving air as per instructions....this is quite embarassing isnt it? i mean Opala is not really Sag A
FD should do something to work Fuel Rats into the game itself.
Thanks Murishani !
you made a valliant attempt!!!!
so time ticked away but my nav beacon did not show up
my guy started to wheeze and choke and gurgle inside
the frozen shift as the darkness grew closer.....
we need emergency beacons!!!!!!!!!

We lost one guys.
It didn't take long to get there, but Henri didnt have much time. I feel the loss is entirely my fault as I couldn't find him. Ill be reading up on wings now.
Lessons learned:
A good fuel scoop is a valuable edition to a rat ship to keep YOUR fuel topped up to make sure the client has enough when you get there
LEARN HOW WINGS WORK - This is what killed us, we were winged up, and in system, but I could not see his beacon and he choked with me just seconds away because I couldnt find him.
I guess I get the dubious disctinction of being the first fuel-rat to fail a client, sorry Henri.

I think an emergency flare or something would have been nice....what a way to go
(i have to mention that the wheezing and the choking really is a nice touch FD (in a weird sad way))
hey Murishani you gave it your best shot! THANKS A LOT for trying
i think of it as a nice story, there actually should be more of this stuff in elite and tools to make this kind of stuff possible.
(also lesson learned about the importance of my fuel gage)

When in wing: press the number 4 key, nav down to beacon and set to wing. 4 is the default key. We should probably include wing instructions on the first page since a lot of people requesting help have little experience with wings (as do many of the rats).
