Just had my first need to call on the Fuel Rats. Cannot praise them enough - got me out of trouble and gave me some invaluable tips on the filter bug on the Galaxy Map. Thanks A1 ACE
Well I thought I was smart enough, careful enough, to never to have to call the Fuel Rats, then I ended up with 10% fuel at an unscoopable star with no stations, outposts, nothing. They were very prompt, courteous and offered suggestions to avoid the incident happening again. God bless the fine souls of the Fuel Rats. I made a donation to show appreciation for their fine work. Wish their merch store was operational, would like a T-shirt.
I had to use them today. Been playing this game for a long time, never had to call them. Was doing three things at once, coming back (rather impatiently) from a long time in the black, one jump after another, alt-tab, then back again....landing in a brown dwarf system and realising to my horror that with 750LY to my destination, i was out of fuel.
The Fuel Rats were out to me within 10 mins. Seriously. Unbelievable service. Saved my sorry behind and about 2bn in exploration/ cartography.
You guys are nuts
I'm a long time explorer (~2016) but stupidly got myself stuck in a WD system after a misclick in the galaxy map and not paying attention until the jump started. A wonderful 20 seconds or so in witch space as I realized what I had just done and could do nothing but just stare at the empty fuel gauge
Despite being in a horrible location (Mare Somnia) it only took 4 hours for a rat to reach me. CMDR tblFlip you're a legend, I just looked to make sure and you saved me 19b in exobio data and ~2b in exploration data. Really like the whole process you guys have in your IRC as well
Enormous thanks. Ran out of fuel making cargo runs for the CG, whilst watching a film in the background. Will no longer try to shave off a few seconds every time, by not pressing the single button...
At the very least, I have the right avatar for this situation. Seriously though, thanks so much and all the best to you all. o7
