Please don't. You have the most "educational-video-from-mid-20th-century-BBC" voice I have ever heard on this side of the millennium, and that mic is probably the reason. XD
Out of Fuel? - Explorer Rescue Service, The Fuel Rats
- Thread starter Surly_Badger
- Start date
oooh, of course! The bigger brother of the Cobra -- hand me some good footage and I will happily make good if I do some other tutorial in the future *squeak*
Now that quote gave a roar! Something to put in a (excessively crested) gold frame on the wall

Happy 3304 to all new and returning Rats! May your fuel limpets fly straight and transfer before the timer hits 0.
Here's a little update on a number of topics:
- Triple Elite (3xE) Group: Discussions are progressing among the 3xE groups regarding Squadrons which is due out Q4 of this year. We expect discussions to begin in the coming months regarding features that we as a group would like to see as well as discussions among the larger community as a whole. If anyone has thoughts or concerns feel free to PM me on IRC, Discord or email me CrunchyBaton955@fuelrats.com
- #Squakmas was a huge success for everyone involved. This was FDev's Charity livestream event that occurred in early December and ended with a 24-hour livestream. Thanks again to artist and Rat, @Mat2596 on Twitter for his artwork that you can still see on our Twitter banner. https://confluence.fuelrats.com/display/FRKB/Temporary+SOP+-+Squeakmas+2017
- Unless you've been living under a rock, you're aware of the most epic of epic rescues completed beyond Beagle Point, Operation Fuel Beyond the Void. This rescue included so many firsts for CMDR Persera, her Rats CMDRs theUnkn0wn1, Highwaywarrior and Abish that I'm not even going to try and list them all. You can read CMDR Persera's thread here https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/395703-The-Void-Beyond or check out any of the major publications that the story has been covered in so far
- With recent sales across all platforms, we're seeing a huge influx of cases and new Rat signups. We've been seeing 70-100 cases each day over the Holiday season. If you're a Grand Old Rat, don't hesitate to stop by to say "hi" and share some of your wisdom and experiences. We normally see about 5 new Ratlings sign up each day, but hae been seeing 10-30 for the past couple weeks. If you're an overseer, helping out with some drills would be appreciated.
---------------------------------------
Now time for some year end stats, that someone can correct if I've got them wrong. "Cases" are success and failures. "Rescues" are successful cases. For the year 3303:
Total Cases: 17,907
Total Rescues: 17,199 (96.0% Success Rate)
PC Cases: 11,536 (64.4% of 3303 Cases)
Xbox Cases: 3,103 (17.3% of 3303 Cases)
PS4 Cases: 3,268 (18.2% of 3303 Cases)
---------------------------------------
So with that, here's to another year or doing what we do. We Have Fuel, You Don't, Any Questions?

PS4maggedon had a hand in that.

I dont believe Xbox has ever had numbers like we did then.

The numbers show that you'd be correct now. But remember back to #ps4maggedon when there were like 80 PS4, 20 PC and like 3 Xbox cases per day
An amazing read, thank you for writing it and sharing o7
Wasn't sure wherever to post this, so I figured I'd just leave it here. Just got rescued by you guys tonight. Not exactly the most spectacular of rescues given I was about 2000LY from the bubble but that not the point. I just wanted to say thanks to you guys for the help.
Should with a bit of care be able to make it to the Neutron Fields now, so once again, thanks!

Gets rescued by fuel rats, heads straight for concentration of non-scoopables...
Fly safe.
I am considering to do a second YouTube-Tutorial after the Ship Loadouts, this time about the Standart Rescue Procedure and Drill basics. Since this takes up time I would otherwise spend ratting, I would be interested to get an impression an advance ... would such a video be of interest?

I think it would be a great idea, loved the last one!
Hey everyone! Fans of the amazing rescue of Cmdr Persera by the Fuel Rats should check out episode 182 of Lave Radio which features a really excellent interview with Cmdrs Persera, TheUnkn0wn1, ABish and HighwayWarrior.
http://laveradio.com/lave-radio-episode-182/
Fast forward to 53:30. It starts with an excellent advert for the Fuel Rats and then launches straight into the interview.

Whoever made that advert - mad chaff to you! XD
The Lave Radio guys did the audio effects over a voice-over I did when the Fuel Rats were about 20 in number, and we were still developing our Standard Operating Procedures.
And yet it is still AMAZING! XD
Since I am an addicted Fuel Rat, I couldn't help myself to start recording for the Ratling Drill tutorial. Thanks fellow veteran Rat @Rex1973 for being the actor for an excellent Limpet Dance, in your legendary Golden Rat Cobra! Along with some Rat BBQ style TFPs.
This should offer some really nice footage. Squeak!
