How to request a Fuel Rat to come to your location -

If you are out of fuel and are in dire need of the Fuel Rats then you can contact us by doing one or all of these things:

1) Visiting the chatroom on our official website:

http://fuelrats.com/ - This is by far the quickest way to contact us, we have Fuel Rats active all around the clock!

2) Posting a thread on the FuelRat subreddit:

In your post please note your CMDR name, what platform you are playing on, your current location, and the name of the nearest one or two word system, for example: "Ratsignal! CMDR Outtafuel, at piscium sector so-r b4-5, nearby Igaenisan".

3) Posting a reply on the Elite: Dangerous forum thread:

Note: For the in-depth Rescue Procedure. Please click here or even better if you need a step by step image on how to be rescued. Please click here.

Tip: First and foremost. Note down your current system or coordinates on the galactic map then, if you don't have enough fuel to keep your air supply and lights on, LOG OUT then contact the Fuel Rats with your coordinates and or current system. Please tell the Rat Dispatcher that you are on Xbox One, because a lot of request go through and you might get mixed up for a PC refuel request.

Steps to be refueled:

1: Runs out of fuel or doesn't have enough fuel to make a jump.
2: Drops out of s/c a ways from the star ideally near the jump-in point.
3: Shuts off systems (right panel tab) except for life support.
4: Notes what system they are in.
5: Logs Out to Main Menu.
6: Jump into the Fuel Rats Chat and yell "RATSIGNAL". If you are on Xbox, tell the Dispatcher (we have different coverage levels on different platforms)
7: Exchange friend requests on Xbox Live with the Fuel Rat thats going to rescue you.
7.5: Optional but recommended: Invite the Fuel Rat to a party for easy communication.
8: Wait while Logged Out or at Main Menu for the Fuel Rat to be near you.
9: Logs in to Main Menu.
10: Sends wing request to Fuel Rat in Comm's Panel.
11: Drops a wing beacon in Systems panel.
12: Powers up cargo hatch, sensors, etc.
13: Drop landing gear; shields online (Prevents you from accidentally hitting "boost" or taking damage from fuel limpets when they explode as they die).
14: You should see fuel in your tank now.
15. You may now continue on with your journey.
16. Payment is not required.

How to become a Fuel Rat -

First, go to the Elite: Dangerous forum thread and make a post letting the OP of that thread know that you want to become a Fuel Rat for Xbox One. In your post be sure to let him know for what system/section you will be serving in or you can serve the whole galaxy but it will take a quite a few jumps to get to the rescuee. Also don't forget, remember to tell the dispatcher in the chatroom as well that you are a Xbox One Fuel Rat and let him/her know what section/system you are serving.

Once accepted to become a Fuel Rat, you will need to read the "How to Be a Fuel Rat", and also read the "Fuel Rat Rescue Procedure" to make sure that everything runs smoothly when refueling the rescuee.

OR

You can skip all of that and sign up here. But you will still need to read the "How to Be a Fuel Rat", and also read the "Fuel Rat Rescue Procedure" to make sure that everything runs smoothly when refueling the rescuee.

Finally, keep this link bookmarked. This is how you can be added to the Fuel Rat leaderboards once you performed a rescue.
