So I was really interested in Fuel Ratting. I know that there is a lot of documentation on everything needed to know. But to me, videos are just so much easier to digest information from. Especially since I'm a visual learner.

Was just curious if there was a good video (That is accepted to be adequate for learning by actual Fuel Rats) that will give me a good starting point for learning what is needed and how to fuel rat. Then if I have more specific questions I can look for it myself in the appropriate documentation?

Title. It's clearly stated in the SOP's that Rats never engage in PVP but was wondering if there was an exception for gankers. Didn't see it in the FAQ on the sidebar so I apologize if this has been asked several million times.

Hello,

I'm a long time player of Elite, and after the recent systems invasions and Cocijo, I've found a great joy in participating within the community, I wanted to join the Fuel Rats years ago, but work made it impossible.

I've filled in the online application, Agreed to the terms and verified my Email, but I'm unsure which comes next. Do I join a discord where rescue locations are dispatched?

Thanks for your time!

CMDR Drew Shaw.

o7 I’m a veteran player who transferred to PC at the beginning of the year. Long ago on Xbox I made some rescues as a member of the Fuel Rats. My question is is how does one get back to rescues? Is there required training or anything I need to do help out again?

This new UI leaves some to be desired. Please and thank you

I been looking to join, but I don't know anything about "IRC"
On top of that, it doesn't seem like I can connect to anything via the "I don't need fuel, but I still want to chat" button.

Anyone got some course of action?

Hi guys, I used the escape pod on a carrier and it put me back on Mammon Monitoring Facility in the Mammon system. There is no shipyard here or in the nearby Geo Chandler Memorial. If anyone happens to be in the area, id really appreciate if i could hitch a ride.

Been playing for awhile now and finally decided to head to Colonia with my fleet carrier. All good, made it there and have been there since like, last year. However, I checked the wrong spot and thought I had tritium to get back. A few jumps out and here I am, out of gas. Lol. Anybody willing to load me up?

Admin Please delete if not suitable post. Would like to personally thank “DSS Lev” & “f0rd42” for their assistance on my first request for help from the fuel Rats. I haven’t played Elite for about a year and decided to start VIP passenger mission in a new ship. I got stuck in system TPHEN SLATA on my way to refuel at Hassanien Station (after underestimating the availability of fuel at multiple smaller terrestrial and orbital settlements). o7 to both commanders, I was able to successfully reach the station after rescue. I would like, once I get enough experience in game, pledge allegiance to the Fuel Rats and return the favour. Kind regards, OerlikonAU.

*EDITED: Grammar.

Any recommendations for how to kit the Mandalay?

Optional Internals are 6/5/4/4/3/3/2/1/1/1

So far I have:

• 6A Fuel Scoop
• 5H FSD Booster
• 4E Cargo Rack
• 4
• 3A Fuel Controller
• 3
• 2
• 1D Repair Limpet
• 1L DSS
• 1

I need to fit shields, and I would like a vehicle hanger.

Thoughts on shield size (4A, 4D, 3A, 3D)?

I am thinking 4G hangar, 3A shields, 2-supercruise assist, 1-adv docking, the last two being for my own comfort.

Anything else I am missing?

Hey everyone, Commander Altsain here...

I am returning to the galaxy after a bit of a break, and did a fair bit of ratting in the past. Are the rats still active on XBox, and is there much call for us?

Hi everyone, I wanted to have a look at the Merch Store of the fuel rats, but for some reason it just says ""shop.fuelrats.com" tried to redirect you too many times"

Can anyone help me with that?

I think not exist repair rats? or fuel rats be repair rats?

Fuel Rats Beware, i Heard a player about an hour ago bragging about how he was going to call in some fuel rats and ambush them, don't know if you get these a lot but dont wan't y'all paying repairs

Didn't want to bother dispatch as I'm not currently in an emergency, but I was wondering if fuel rats have ever or do ever service carriers?

You see, for the last 2 years my crew and I have been on a galactic tour zigzagging across the galaxy to Beagle Point. I already mined thousands of tons near Colonia and managed to buy a bunch more from some other carriers stationed in Azura Initiative space.

Unfortunately my hold is now under half and at some point during our return trip I'll need enough fuel to make it to Colonia. The quantity would likely be in the thousands of tons to be delivered roughly 20,000LY away from Sag A on the far side of the galaxy.

I don't necessarily need anyone to help me mine the Tritium, I made sure my crew was prepared for that (although anyone who wants to is welcome) but I feel that if there were CMDRs up to the challenge, a group effort to ship the fuel from Colonia would immensely speed up the process and would drastically reduce my risk of defaulting on the carrier balance (as I would have to allocate my time to both mining and exploring life forms to fund the weekly balance).

Thoughts?

I started exploring and of course I ran out of fuel, I posted on fuel rats and got fuel within minutes. I thought this was automatic thing done by the server, but then I found out there are people out there doing the gods work, the AAA of Elite Dangerous. This game is 10 years old and to have a community like this just blew my mind. Thank you all that do the work.

I’m on my way to the coal nebula. I am trying to get to Synuefe RL-NA116-2 on solo play but ran out of fuel. Am I f’d?

Hello everyone! I have recently wanted to become a fuel rat and went to their website to sign up. I accidentally messed up the numbers on my email and now I can't verify my email to complete sign in. I contacted their support about changing my email and have not heard back. How long should I wait before trying to make a new account. Its been about a day and a half since I submitted my request. Again I dont know how long it normally takes them. Wish they had a way where you could just change your email on the website without having to contact support lol. Anyways, thank you for reading this!

So i want to get back in it because i can finally play elite again on my new pc. BUT there is no way i can get my NickServ password correct. Is there any way to reset it and assign a new password?

Hi, juSt posting here to show appreciation!!!! Got the game recently, have about 10 hours of gameplay and have been saved by you guys, would've been stranded otherwise!! Thanks again!!! Saved me a lot of trouble!!!!!

Hi!

I was wanting to join the fuel rats, I sent a request on elite dangerous itself, but when I go on line to the website to fill out the application I get an error so the site can't process it.

I am trying to be more social in the game, nothing is more social than helping that's why I want to join. I can do. It only fuel but also repair if needed.

Anyways let me know what I can do to join, I do have IRC so I can join the server later on if that works as well.

Well just like the tittle, i will appreciate the help

Heya, I was interested in becoming a fuel rat, but it didn't seem like there was a discord server anywhere that I could find--I did find some posts from ~3 years ago that explained why, at the time, they did not use Discord, but I was curious if things had changed in that time.

How's it going? I'm just trying to crowdsource help with organizing drills.

- Are there better times to ask for a drill than others?

- Are certain 'seers more likely to assist than others, and if so, which ones?

- Should I contact a 'seer directly, or openly through #ratchat?

- Will a submitted request (on the fuelrats.com service desk) last indefinitely, or will it expire after a time?

Basically, if I can't get one organized, what are some ways to get one scheduled more reliably? Thanks!
