@danderson Thank you for this trip down Memory Lane. 8 years ago, when I was still playing, I ran out of gas in my brand new Anaconda, gravely misjudging how costly the jumps the Anaconda could pull would be. I had played forever to scrounge up enough ingame funds to buy this ship, and I was so proud - and now it was about to blow up from ...running out of fuel (my cartoonist mind loves this fact though 🤣). ->

-> I heard of the Fuel Rats before, and thought it was a neat way to play - though I never quite understood the problem, being a Bubble Skipper on smaller ships. I will never forget how I clicked the Distress button, talked to the dispatcher - while time was slowly running out. When I was contacted through radio in-game, I hardly believed it. Then all of a sudden, three or four ships pulled up to mine, and friendly rats filled her up enough to get home. Helped me plot a safe course. ->

-> I was impressed and amazed. Drew this as a little thank-you gift back then (hanging out with them for a while showed there was some Snickers running gag. It's a rat thing...):
