Only had to do it for that once... They were awesome, saved my Cutter that I forgot I'd removed the fuel scoop from.

Elite Dangerous. There's a group of volunteers that come out to you if you find yourself stuck without enough fuel to make the next next jump to an inhabited system

That makes the game sound so much cooler than it is but I've never been able to get into it :(... Maybe 3rd times the charm

I had a manager tells me this once. It was literally written on the mug he was drinking out of at the time. I remember feeling so valued and inspired.
