The Legend Continues....Awesome Fuel Rats!

So I found myself having to fetch my FAS from about 500 LY away from "home" (roll on 2.2!). As you know the FAS ain't the best traveller and my excuse is I was tired, :). This meant I forgot to filter out non scoopable stars from the GM, ending up in Hyades Sector OJ-N A8-1 with around 25% reserve tank only. "So who you gonna call? Fuelbusters lol aka those very cool people over at www.fuelrats.com

I was impressed with the way they handled my problem, their operations board is manned 24/7 and from what I've seen very professionally. Within a few minutes of logging in, my rescuer CMDR Ballantin was firing much needed fuel limpets my way. So a huge thank you to The Fuel Rats, a brilliant idea executed with such great spirit, just like ED itself!

Please merge with all the other 'Fuel Rats Advertising' threads.

Even with an extra fuel tank, I still fine myself occasionally running a little short: Which to me is terrifying; due to the amount of bad mouthing, I give the Fuel Rats here. Constantly having threads raised to promote their business model. How there is no distance, they will not travel, to rescue some lazy and careless traveller, in distress.

To be honest, they should no longer need this form of advertising. We should be seeing 50 meter high holograms; of their services, as we enter every station. They must have the funds by now; considering the amount of happy customers, they have had over the years.

Being a nuisance in the household comes natural to rats :D No need for extra posters.

PS I forgot that we actually do have poster holograms. :p

Ah, but that's the thing. They're a non-profit organization. They don't even accept offers to provide armed escort on rescues which I thought would be a good use for my heavily-armed Python. Apparently an escort would slow them down and make them too "militarized". All they need is the satisfaction of a job well done.

Makes you wonder though. What if there's a nefarious purpose we don't see? What if they're putting in fuel "additives" that will make the FSD break down in another 10,000 ly only to require expensive repairs? What if they're really working for Lakon to sabotage rival ships to ensure Lakon's reputation for "reliability"? What if they're really Thargoids, sent to infiltrate the Pilots Federation in preparation for an invasion? What if they're literally giant rats flying space ships, only you can't see their rat faces behind the helmets? What if every time you accept an offer of help from the fuel rats, they secretly take a tiny part of your soul in exchange? What if all of this was actually listed in the fine print that you sign when they rescue you, but we missed it the entire time because nobody actually reads the fine print?

Personally, I don't worry about these things because I always check my fuel gauge before every jump. I just don't want to require their services only to find that their "help" comes with a price I'm not willing to pay.

I don't think some gratitude threads hurts anyone. I never needed them and I hope I will never do, but they offer a great service just for the heck of it. At least the thread title is clear of what's this about and you can just ignore it, not like some ambiguous titles/clickbait ones.
