​​@@tactialpain1196fuel rats have same ship any player can build, they are players after all. The issue here is the combat situation. Out of fuel in the middle of a fight your weapons, shield and engines disabled, you can only die and rebuy

[@vivian2556]

​@@Shenron666 that's.. not a problem. We'll tell you to immediately log out soon as you can and we'll get there. We can get into PvE to protect *if needed* but you'd have to specify what is going on for us to send a proper outfitted ship out to you and refuel you as needed. We have done it before.

The first time you run out of fuel is the last time you run out of fuel, because that little gauge in the right hand corner becomes your new best friend after the first time.

[@RADD93]

With the new boosting FSD that I think makes the previous one obsolete and what's the point of buying, it's easier to run out of fuel I've temporarily modify my jumperconda with fuel tanks if I'm boosting all over the system.

[@tobiasneethling8871]

i ran out of fuel ONCE, never again. i was trying real hard to get back to a station as i had noticed the warnings but my FSD was offline. for some reason i exploded and when i respawned the first thing i bought was a fuel scoop

Good thing you got rescued :D Same thing happened to me at CG lol, but I was just cruising in supercruise, and then I just randomly dropped, and couldnt do nothing. The fuel didnt come to my mind at all lol, and like 10 minutes I didnt get the situation at all :D Eventually I figured it out and friend came and helped me too :D

[@jdubs2171]

Lol. Bad timing, homie. 1st time for me was in a PA & Rail Chief w the effect that lets you use fuel for ammo. Was doing CZs w my squad in a CG sys. Over-exerted my ship and ran out of gas, as i boosted towards the station, literally 500m from the mailslot at a station where a pack of gankers were just chilling about 5km behind me. Luckily, one of my homies fired a fuel limpet at me just as he came out of the slot, about the same time the gankers began to take interest in my disabled ship. Close call, man. o7

[@Volkaer]

Is this one of those legendary anime battles where you fought non stop for three days until running out of ammunition and fuel?

[@RADD93]

No, I just write down a fuel

[@GeneralKammy]

gosh i can't imagine the pressure your friend had

[@Titere05]

I had a close call a few days ago after a long time exploring, I had repaired my fuel scoop and I didn't know doing that disables it. I noticed I wasn't collecting any fuel after jumps but I assumed the stars weren't scoopable. Luckily I took notice of which one was the fuel star in the path, and when I couldn't scoop that, I started to Google to see why I couldn't scoop an M type star lol

[@FBIagent.]

As a noob i make sure this never happens to me

[@ChunkyHandCream]

it took me 1800+ hours to run out of fuel ONCE and only because i bought a small viper to try it out and was just driving it back to my main base to outfit so no scoop and terrible fuel capacity (there was no scoop in the system i bought the viper in and i ran out of fuel so not even enough to supercruise not like there was any stations in the system i was in)

[@Mads-hl8xj]

kind of doubt you got rescued from this.. but hey, guess you learned your lesson :)

@@FBIagent. A is the best rating you can get, if you've got space for it obviously a 4A would be better than A3, but there is a powerplay prismatic shield generator slower regenerations rate but more shield strength. Pledge to the empire Alison duvall and a few weeks after pledging to that particular empire complete enough of their power spreading mission enough to get to at least level 3 in their ranking system and then after 4 weeks you can buy as many prismatic Shields as you can afford.

Hate to say you got everything you deserved. Running out of fuel in real life a few miles from a gas station is supreme stress. Running out of fuel fifty million miles from a gas station is a death sentence, especially with 25 minutes of air remaining and if a buddy has no fuel limpets. o7

[@niscent_]

not having enough fuel to jump is one thing, but really... really? managing to use the entirety of your fuel until your pp goes offline? here, before running out, your ship was consuming 4.07 units of fuel per hour. that means if you somehow manage to finish a jump with only 1 unit of fuel left, it would still take about 15min to go dry. without you at any point looking at that fuel gauge...
