Ah, I remember the first time I was running out of fuel on XB1. I had a fuel scoop, but ran into an area with stars I couldn't scoop from! I was in such a panic because I only had enough fuel for 2 more jumps, and being a newbie I had no idea which stars I could scoop from and didn't know how to check if a system had a station. So I chose at random from the galaxy map. First jump was a bust. No fuel, no stations. I spent about 10 minutes looking at the galaxy map trying to figure out of there was a way to tell if a star was scoopable for me or not. Didn't find anything, chose at random and jumped! Unscoopable. No stations. My heart sank! I had my cargo racks full of materials from hours of mining. Had some exploration data and some bounties to turn in as well. I flew around the system for hours hoping another commander would fly by. Nothing.



Rather than self-destruct, I turned off life support and peacefully went to sleep. Forever.



I wish I had known about Fuel Rats!
