this guy needs to narrate audio books
Huzzah!
Exactly what I thought the first time I chatted with the dude on discord.
Ironically I just had an ad for audio books.
F*ck yesss.. i will feel like im in a movie with dwyane the rock johnson only by an audiobook
The Pork Chop Express driver is right,
Wait, the fuel rats are REAL PLAYERS? This makes me respect the game's community even more. I have never had to place a call because I am a timid little assclown of a pilot.
How honest of you, made me lol.
+MrNomadic76 You know, I say that, and not two weeks later here I am, pulling full frontal assaults on high security bases looking for MORE FUCKING SPECIALISED LEGACY FIRMWARE.
I already lost like four SRVs this evening.
CrimsonGamer99
Haha, so a not so timid assclown of a pilot then.
+MrNomadic76 I prefer the phrase "risk-taking".
Nah, I'm just an assclown. No more timid part.
They have a discord you can contact them from
Brings little water to the eye as the Sidey blasts off =)
Ghost Giraffe!
It really does! "Fly safe, commander"
The hero we need but the one we don't deserve.
a lot of players in this community are shit and don't deserve the respect of honest players
I never saw the point of this group until one day I found myself without fuel with thousands of credits worth of tea in my hold. And the response time was amazing.
Zomboing
tea.
they saved you because you had tea....
try six months worth of exploration data.
How much tea was it XD
British are we, ay?
@@Life-tastic No man, they saved him because he had no fuel. =)
@@Life-tastic The thing is that several thousand credits is a lot of money for a new player, while six months of exploration data is, well, a stupid risk from someone that should know better?
I'm not a Fuel Rat, but I remember my first rescue. I received a text from my best friend during dinner. He'd run out of fuel on a VIP transport mission; drifting with a $750k payday. Refueling a Type 6 and watching it jump away was very satisfying. Hats off to the Fuel Rats! No spacer left behind!
I'm relatively new to the game but I have to say I love the fact that you guys even exist. It's just another sign of how amazing this community is. Hope I can find time to join you guys someday!
So, did you?

So, d҉i҉d҉ y҉o҉u҉?
the rats are awesome. that make the game unique
Nearly brings a tear to my eye. I love how you you have no elitism. You don't mock him/her for being a noob, don't dismiss there free ship as being unworthy of saving. Great job.
This type of help within a game is oftentimes what makes or breaks a title and more experienced players need to help out the noobs because they haven't been playing the game for five years like you have been so imagine all the high level players of your favorite mmorpg going to all the low level areas and showing the new player the ropes not because there is a reward but because they are there to have fun and so are you
I did that sooooooo many times in MMO for as far as 20 years now. I do it because it like helping people :)
@@duramirez The fuel rats are just a small part of the community, but a vital one. I guess there are people on other MMO games as well that help new players just for the fun of it. They just do it on a case by case basis and they do not need this whole organization around to make it work.
You guys are awesome! I'm a new player and got a big shock when I ran into a fuel shortage problem. I had cut it close a few times in my play through today and I kept finding myself unable to jump to my next sector on a route due to a lack of fuel and no local stations. However, I always had just enough fuel to get to 1 or 2 other nearby sectors, so I could always get myself out of trouble. Late this afternoon, that all went out the window. I managed to find myself in a sector that was at least 7LY away from every other system, and not enough fuel to cover that distance. I started Googling around on my phone to confirm whether or not I was completely screwed. Most signed pointed to the fact that I was hosed, but I stumbled across somebody posting your link in a forum. Expecting to either not get any response, or to possibly be griefed, I sent the Rats a distress call. Your guy Ma7hew was there within minutes and got me sorted right out. He taught me about the Fuel Scoop and how to use it, and I thanked him for his service by accidentally boosting into him... oops, haha. Good thing he was shielded and my shields ***just*** came back up.
This is an awesome service, and it's neat to see a bunch of people spending their playing time helping out and rescuing other players rather than being a bunch of pricks, haha.

Tom Londe Two words; Fuel Scoop
Lemoh nade run out of juice .
Hahaha
Take your like 3 years later, and gtfo
I know this video is old, and I've not yet had to call the Rats, but these guys are amazing! This kind of dedication to serve the game's population is unheard of anywhere else.
Brand new, started 3 hours ago. Was meeting a friend when my galaxy map messed up my plot and sent me to only non scoop able stars. Let's just say it was great to see you guys
Congratulations on your 200th rescue! Talk about cutting it close with 20 seconds left on life support! :P
This video is recommended to me today in 2023. Awesome, congratulations with the 200th mission many years ago :D
He was trying to super cruise to Eravate? and he did it for *50* *minutes*?!
Why even do it in Supercruise? He could've just jumped with the FSD.
Cat I think he just did it for the novelty lmao
In a sidewinder...
Pretty sure he was low on fuel so he was trying to get close to the system so he can FSD and then he ran out of fuel.
iv actually had had that happen when i started out, ended up in a system that i could not scoop from and did not have any fuel to jump anywhere else so i supper cruised towards the nearest system in the hope that i would be able to get close enough to make a jump. my friend ended up rescuing me.
I have a legitimate respect for you guys.
A Fuel Rat got me out of a small situation where I overestimated my fuel reserves and got trapped in a system without a scoop, I learned a valuable lesson from the event.
Truly amazing a game company developed such a massive game to the point people have "jobs" and "dutys" within the game itself ...so rewarding thank you Fuel Rats
Fuel Rats rock! Had to ring you dudes a month or so ago, bought the game on ps4 and misjudged the distance and fuel drain on my newly purchased Eagle and wound up stranded with no fuel scoop. The rat that answered the call was super friendly and helpful, gave me enough fuel for my trip to the closest port where I promptly bought a fuel scoop. Lesson learned, I love ED!
when u realise not all hope is lost for humanity after being cubstomped every day by the media about humanity's evilness.
o7 respect
I love emergent gameplay. Those rescue services were not intended by the game, but players found out a new role to play as.
Came here because I thought the Fuel Rats had a YT channel, stayed because this particular Fuel Rat has the voice of an angel and the diction of an audiobook narrator. Consider me subscribed! (update: I didn't know the account hasn't posted in years :( sad. Staying subbed just in case!)
holy cow. I dont even play Elite and didnt understand most of that stuff but I can't express how awesome this is. the fact that you have thw most perfect narrator voice helps with that!
Although I have never called the Fuel Rats, I have known the panic that comes from bingo fuel (those Vipers can be tricky when you leave the starter system...). It inspires me to know that there are such heroes in the dark reaches of space.
I once got stuck in a system (near Kamadhenu) with a station. But I had so little fuel left that entering supercruise would fuck me up.
I got saved by a group of fuel rats
You guys are the glue to hold all elite dangerous factions together
From explorers to traders
From miners to pirates
You somehow help us all
And for that
We salute you.
o7
I just joined the fuel rats yesterday. This is what they do every day guys. It’s amazing.
Man! I just watched and listened to the most epic story telling ever. This guys shoild be in Hollywood with thtat voice!
OMG, that was extremely cool. I had no idea just how intense being a fuel rat could be.. Most excellent. Thanks. I'm glad you're there. CMDR Bullet
Wait a minute. People use IRC in 2017? Serious nostalgia points for You Good Sir. Now i have to subscribe.
Hats off to the Fuel Rats. For me, they represent what Elite can be at its best.
7 years later and this video is still legend. Elite player community is the best and the rats snack their cheese nonchalantly at the very top! Fly dangerous CMDRs! o7 ~~~
O7 CMDR. The fuel rats will forever be the heros we need in our darkest time
Rats of Fuel FTW! I almost needed your assistance as well just a couple of days ago, but managed to barely (and I do mean BARELY) jump to a star that was scoopable and had a big sigh of relief.
I just called the rats for the first time a couple weeks ago. It was less than 5 minutes when they arrived. I now carry all the supplies on my Anaconda to do the same thing.
That was amazing dude. 1.3 million LS from everything and you managed to nail it.
The idea of the fuel rats is just spectacular, and to think Radlock is a part of it.
I just recently got into E:D and man, this game is something else. It fulfills my need for scale, and my love of space.
Never run out of fuel yet though, but if i ever do, i know who to call. Just bring enough for a type 9 eh? Haha.
Jesus I thought I was watching a legit movie for a second. His voice is perfect! So good. Loved this video a ton!
Damn fuel rats are loyal like that's a sidewinder yet they still put in all that effort it's great
this is why i choose to play this game. because it has a very very amazing community and it always makes me emotional
Outstanding job, splendid narration . The Rats are just ACE, glad to know you have our backs in the black.
Why do all of these videos get me teary eyed
I've called the Fuel Rats once...when I miscalculated my jumps i've ended in the empty space somewhere near the Beluga System...apparently, i wasn't loosing oxygen so the help didn't have to hurry ^^, but they are awesome players and living tutorials how to prevent the lack of fuel and they can always help with almost everything, not only with the lack of fuel. Lot of expect for you guys and hope i'll join the Fuel Rats someday...when I...get more credits and ships...
I don’t understand anything he says but it’s so awesome that i keep watching!!
I have been rescued by them, once, far from the bubble, in 2017 or so. As professional as it gets. A nice Cdr drops in with a shiny Asp, enquires about the reasons for this incident and gives you fuel and all the info you need to avoid that carelessness. This cdr had spent at least 40 hours jumping, felt like hugging him IRL. Totally worth 20 bucks on their patreon or somewhere, it is a lot of work and coordination. Indisputably in the pantheon of the very best ED communities. I hear they still operate. The thargoid war may not impact them so significantly. But I dont know the player base today.
Ive always had a pirate ship (challenger) around, some best memories from relieving a grumpy noisy Russian Grom anaconda from 30 cans of stuff, and pirating has a code, dont shoot to kill unless the target has value and refuses to comply. To stop and threaten an explorer or even worse a fuel rat is already below the belt. To attack them is the equivalent of war crime.
I've never needed the Rats myself. Always rocking those 5A or 6A scoops. And always make sure to make the last jump to a scoopable. But I have some beginner friends you people have saved. Tremendous respect. I kinda hope someday I'll need it. o7
as someone who recently received a save from a fuel rat a salute to you all and what you do
What a Great RP, and a noble purpose. Reminds me of the glory days of freelancer Discovery.
I have never played this game, but I get a sense of how epic this is, you guys rock!
These guys are heroes... They've saved my ass sooooo many times.
I just saw The Gaming Discourse video on the Fuel Rats and saw this video in the list..
Holy crap this is like future rescue 911 TV show. Your story telling is very good!
im an eve player, generally you have to pull teeth. there is always spys and people like goons out to monopolize the game. getting help is like asking to get ganked. which is all the more reason, i find it amazing people like your faction exist. a faction that seriously out to help players without compensation! all the love man, all the love
Haven't had to ask for help from the Rats yet but glad you are out there doing your thing. Keep it up
You get a like my friend. I met one of you guys once and it was a honor to meet a group of individuals like you
This was SOOO Awesome man!!! I used the service one a couple of years back, FLAWLESS!
The rats remain one of the coolest things about Elite
Man I know it’s older now, but I love you guys. Watching this is amazing lol. So intense
Bravo man. I love what u guys created out of a sandbox game. You are even referred to in Novels. Very inspiring
Thank you for your service, Fuel Rats!
You guys are heroes
This was intesnse, and it makes returning to Elite slightly less daunting. I played several years ago but just setting up the joystick proved a hurdle. Today I downloaded a settings file and printed a cheat sheet and started training, And if I mess up, I know the Fuel Rats are there.
It's fun to see how much IRC communications and procedures have changed
A sidewinder, it all makes sense now… This makes me want to join cause I have definitely been there.
Wow, this left me clapping quietly at my computer at it's resolution. Well done sir!
The best guild ever created in any game ever, fuel rats are awesome.
anyone else got that Optimus Prime feeling at the end? i got chills over my body from your voice!
thank you for helping those in need!
You make fuel rat rescues look like an art.
You guys are Elite Heroes! Keep up the amazing work!
This is how awesome humans can be. Great work fuel rats
Dude your narration is on point ! Fuel rats look a lot more complicated than it sounds ..
O, Man, you guys saved me in my ED infancy. Much respect and love for the fuel rats.
Had to call them once and I couldn't believe how fast they got there. They are awesome people!!
wait...
*YOU PEOPLE GO AROUND SAVING PEOPLE?!*
Woah that's awesome
Wow, the narration made this video as others say bring a tear to me eye. So cool people take this game so serously to help out strangers for nothing more then feeling like they did a good thing. Kudos!
Never played this game before, in fact I was just only looking it up yesterday, then today got recommended a video all about the Fuel Rats so watched and found it fasinating, then this popped up and I have to admit.. this was an awesome watch!! XD Even for someone that has never played Elite: Dangerous! Nice work making it there on time!
Thanks for your service, brave fuel rats.
Jesus Christ... I can't express how awesome it is that something like the fuel rats exist. Brilliantly done!
This is the best rescue video I've watched. Super well put together and you've definitely got a storytellers voice. You could do National Geographic shows lol. I yelled out loud "HELL YEAH!" as the rescued commander flew away.
I used mIRC back in early 2000's didnt know it is still a thing. Good to know.
Fuel Rats you guys are awesome!
I'm a bit late to this party but I always love footage of you guys in action. o7 Fuel Rats
The 9th Legion supports the Fuel Rats in all of their endeavors. Never let it be said that the Empire did not do their part in the effort to save innocent lives.
I'll never forget the time this dude saved me. Such a great community of people.
Good thinking on the client's part, both to have noted their travel time and to screencap their nav panel!
You wonderful bastards! Its people like the Fuel Rats that make me enjoy ED so much more!
One of many reasons why I can't wait to finally start playing Elite dangerous on PS4, a matter of days now, great video 👌
Haven't seen mIRC since 2005... Your video brings back good memories. 👍
greatest respect for the fuel rats,for the "clients" not so much. anyone who travels anywhere without a fuel scoop is silly,and even with a fuel scoop you can easily get caught in a nice big field of unuseable stars,your
fuel will get you 6 jumps,but the only fuel star is 8 jumps! extra fuel tanks for deep exploration people. and the dumbest thing of all,"i traded out my 32 ton fuel tank for a 16,so i get better jump range.
Sometimes i underestimate the cost fuel of my combat ship, it doesnt have a fuel scoop so these guys were super handy when i was stranded
That's Kewl, Congrats on your achievement RadLock.
Absolutely beautiful videography, this seemed like art. Well done commander. You've done us well again. I'm new to the game, yet focusing my goal as a fuelrat as my end goal. Good on you sir.
Always love it when a CR comes together. o7
Love this video! The Fuel Rats rescued me not long after I started playing and I will always be grateful.
Wow! Amazing narrative! Almost crying here
OMG I actually felt emotion for this video
Let me get this straight. He took a sidewinder out to the middle of nowhere and thought that might be a good idea. "he turned around after 50 minutes"... unless your a experienced explore you should never super cruise that far from a star... IMO. Great save guys... Long live the Fuel Rats.
I'm an economics major and I gotta say I love that you guys are seeing a business in helping stranded pilots. You guys aren't just good business men, but also heroes. I wish I knew about you guys when I ran out of fuel once. It won't happen again probably but..you guys rule! How much do you guys usually charge?
Driven_Mx5 these hero's don't accept payment
well I mean their payment could be knowing that there's one less stranded CMDR with every run. I plan on joining soon as well.
No idea wtf I just watched, but y’all are some badass role players. Very good video.
I enjoyed in every second of your video. Eternal respect!
man fuel rats are like 911. codes, you have to get somewhere in time. literal space ambulance
After getting the help of the Fuel Rats just yesterday, watching this video was absolutely inspiring. I hope to one day become a Fuel Rat.
