Stranded!

Too bad the OP had to take the self destruct.
One of the suggestions made actually DOES work: I have successfully jumped a distance beyond what my FSD is capable by heading toward the target system in supercruise until I've closed the distance gap. Once the target system is within your jump range you can make the jump. It does take hours of flying at 2,001c but it can be done.

I'm guessing you used up fuel so your ship became lighter, which increased your jump range.

I just had a stupid idea !

I hope CMDR Stocko did not push the red button already...

If you submit a ticket, tell them i'll come to rescue you, and then they can manually do the material transfer.
There's no ingame option to transfer it, but i'm pretty sure they could do something manually.
And i agree to share my material with you guy.

May be they won't accept that... but it costs nothing to try.

So what happens if another player spikes their own fuel with a Premium FSD Boost, then sends a limpet over to a second ship with 1t of that spiked fuel?

If the game doesn't model that, it damn well should. Raise a ticket if it doesn't work!

Not a bad idea, but according to the name, as well as the game mechanics, the FSD boost works on the drive, not the fuel. It would be interesting to try it out, but I'd be willing to bet that what would happen would be that the receiving player would have one more tonne of fuel in their tank, and their FSD would have the same jump range as before.

I hope CMDR Stocko did not push the red button already...

He did. Also, while I'm not affiliated with FD support in any way, please don't try to misuse their services to save a commander from the consequences of his (or her) error. In the same time, support could help someone who was in a tight spot due to the game's error instead.

Tl: dr you lowered your fuel weight making your ship lighter, it does not change fuel required.

Commiserations CMDR, it must suck, hard. Its easy for us to be flippant but you have clearly put a lot of effort into this. Think this to make you feel better:

You're right Marx.
If they do it once, we can be sure a lot more people will do the same.
