this is my type 10 afk build
it's well armed and does everything for me but at the moment it's out of fuel so what am i going to
do
hello it's ricardo and welcome back to elite dangerous yes folks my type 10 afk
build is out of fuel how did this happen took my eye off the ball ran out of fuel whilst in
a combat zone while i was just getting my pews on and earning lots of money
so what am i going to do with it well there's a few things you can do you can go and call the
fuel rats they're a really good in-game community group and they're very helpful
and they've been around forever or you can do it yourself so what do i mean by that
so you can go out and get yourself a ship i've gone and got myself a type seven it's a ship i
don't use very often in-game i had to use it for something got a nice little stripey paint
job on it as well that makes it look a little bit like a fuel truck and it's called the fuel badger
all this aside this is what i'm going to be using so into outfitting what have i done
well with hard points i fitted it all out with small beam laser turrets in the utility mount
i've got two point defense top and bottom and shield boosters to keep those pirates away
in the core i 5a rated everything apart from the sensors and apart from the life support optional
internals this is where it gets interesting yes a shield generator a whopping great big cargo scoop
a 5b fuel transfer olympic controller to get the fuel from your ship elsewhere an additional fuel
tank only a capacity of eight an advanced docking computer because i'm lazy and an advanced scanner
easy that's all i'm going to need i was going to put
an afm on there as well so i could do effective repairs as well but i decided not to now for this
as well you're also going to need some limpets now don't be put off by the hydrogen fuel
don't worry about that that's something else i needed oh don't forget your limpets it's very
important and perhaps you can go down to earth astronomy and get a don't forget your limpets mug
either way don't forget those limpets once you set your fire groups because it's going to be a
new ship you're going to be ready to go and it's time to get out of dodge to use this i'm using
my second account on steam now we should all have a couple accounts by now but with super deals on
elite dangerous horizons on steam and epic games gave it away on pc not so long ago so a lot of
commanders have probably got multiple accounts so my main account has run out and i'm going to
refuel it with my steam account so here's my type 10 in this particular system i've parked it near
to a station okay i'm in a private group where this private group and my steam account are
both linked together and i'm in the same wing i found the ship and identified it there it is
floating around doing its thing and it is indeed running on fumes anyway time to fill up shall we
so fuel to refuel another ship comes out of your main tank all right um so that's why i've got an
additional tank and a whopping great big fuel scoop should only get to your destination and
then find out you can't fuel the ship select the ship with your rectiful make sure it's targeted
select your fuel transfer and start firing off limpets and you will start to fuel up the ship
now it's not going to be a huge amount as we can see from this view inside the type 10.
now you can hear the limpets coming in transferring the fuel over from the main ship
and from the picture in picture you can see your view where the ship is firing them off
and they're just going to the bottom round about the cargo hatch area you haven't got to have your
cargo hatch down and that's how the refueling is taking place couldn't be easier and not a fuel rat
in sight but just a fuel badger so this is all dependent really on the fact as i mentioned that
you've got multiple accounts some people have some people haven't uh some console commanders
may not have two accounts um i say i've got a few accounts simply because you know i i create
content and i have to have ships in different parts of the galaxy so i can bring content of
what's happening as opposed to jumping here there and everywhere but it's dead simple and i would
encourage all commanders if you have got several accounts to have an account in just for your
refueling or have a ship in each account where you can refuel the other if needed doesn't cost
an awful lot of money credits are quite you know easy to come by and elite dangerous at the moment
and to have that facility in game saves you from an embarrassing call
or from actually losing the ship and any bounties or cargo that you have because you
haven't fitted the fuel scoop or you know you've just left it a little bit late and um like i did
completely and utterly ran out of fuel in the middle of a combat zone with only what was in the
reserve tank to get me anywhere i couldn't even jump and all i could do was jump out of the combat
zone and hobble and waddle and limp to the nearest point where i could then get my refueling ship in
to come and refuel me either way that's it and that's all there is to it it's dead simple once
i was refueled i was able to get myself off to my carrier and some would say well hey if you've got
a carrier why don't you jump your carrier to that system and make your way there there was no free
slots because every man in his dog has a fleet carrier these days and anywhere of any importance
like where these combat zones were resulted in my ship not being able to jump in and get a free
slot even though i was only two or three light years away anyway that's how i overcame this
so the moral of the story is fit a fuel scoop if you haven't fitted a fuel scoop
make sure you got enough fuel if you haven't got enough fuel make sure you've got a facility
to get some fuel to your ship and with that we use refueling limpets limpets and another ship
and possibly another account i've been ricardo thanks very much for watching
this short video on elite dangerous refueling and a public service announcement on why you
shouldn't run out of fuel in the middle of a combat zone thanks very much for watching
stay safe take care and look for more videos in the series see you soon
do
you
