Got a fuel scoop?

ky4jw · Jan 18, 2015

yes but too far from sun

Got insurance? Self-Destruct. No Insurance? Same deal but welcome to a brand new Sidewinder. Sorry

Ram Paige · Jan 18, 2015

For a small fee I'll come dump some fuel at your location.

...Or something.

Right side MFD - Functions - Scroll to bottom, select 'boom!' - Enjoy the used Sidewinder they give you.

Makes me wonder if it's possible to 'push' someone towards a star so they can activate the scoop. Hmmmm

> how do I self destruct? <

Right side menu, functions, located at the bottom of the list. Regards

*Raises his pint*

That's like a Jedi building his own lightsaber, that. Condolences, Commander, but welcome to the Real Pilots' Club!

You ca'n't scoop unless you're in Supercruise, alas

no worries, you will float to the closest star in next thousand years!

What happened was, you had drifted right through the core systems, and it's really just blind luck that a deep salvage team found you when they did. It's one in a thousand, really. I think you're damn lucky to be alive, kiddo. You could be floating out there forever.

Ask someone to come push you toward the "nearest" station.

Ripley....are you alright....

I guess you just keep and eye on the fuel gauge in the future. Sorry that you're stranded. A distress call feature to be answered by either npc or cmdr would be nice when you're in a pinch. I do believe the desire for this feature has been discussed elsewhere before.

He can't self-destruct! What about the cat!

Devs, new job title for a future expansion...towing services! Give a T6 something to do aside from hauling cargo.

Amen to that

That would be kind of a neat idea actually. That way we'd get the sure chance of seeing another cmdr

Of course, towing charges would have to be negotiated. Imagine being pirated by a cmdr and then at some later time, being the one answering the pirates distress call for fuel. Delicious irony

There goes our salvage, guys.
