Hunting a Fuel Rat Killer

Hi Everyone! I have recently started making videos again, feel free to stick around; subscribe and help me grow this channel! Couple things about this video: 1. If you didn't see the date, this was posted over 4 years ago. Engineers and class 4 weapons (except the PA) didn't exist, hence the weapon build. 2. Iridium Wing also didn't exist yet, so there was no established protection for Rats. 3. Griefers don't deserve a fair fight, as they don't give them. This wasn't about honor; it was about retribution. Fly safe, commanders! o7

You see a lone ASP Explorer outside of the inhabited bubble. No weapons, low shields, lightweight internals. An easy kill you think as you power on your interdictor and rip him out of super cruise. He tries to reason with you, but you already have full power on weapons.... The power plant on his ship detonates after only half a second of fighting, he didn't even try to jump away. And in the end, only a 5,000 credit bounty on your name. What easy pickings for such a mighty scoundrel. You jump systems and decide to fuel scoop, content with returning to the bubble, but something's wrong as a bang hits your ship and the tables turn, ripping you out of super cruise. Your ship spins out of control as you see your attackers approach you... It's a wing of Fer De Lances, and they have over a dozen multicannons trained on your ship. A chilled twitch runs down your spine... "DerryBear sends his regards."

As a Fuel Rat meself, it does my heart good to know that there are people who have our backs.

ya don't kill fuel rats, it's an unspoken rule. the instantaneous angry multi-cannons were great.

Who kills a fuel rat? It's like attacking a paramedic ffs ...

This game is very good at visceral terror. You can see the guy throwing everything he had into getting away and nothing was working. There has to be a point where it's-just-a-game goes out the window and these guys start legitimately panicking. Lovely.

Rule #1: Always have rebuy Rule #2: Never hurt a Fuel Rat Rule #3: Never hurt explorers If rule 2 or 3 are broken, you better keep your eye on rule 1

Random station AI selling ammo: How much multicannon ammo do you need? BumblebeeTuna: Yes

As a Fuel Rat, I thank you. Our mission strictly forbid us from going PVP, we don,t even carry weapons, since they slow us down when trying to reach a cmmander in distress. But DAMN do we love seeing those hunters get destroyed

See, what should happen if you kill a fuel rat should be something like this: Kills Fuel Rat "Capital Class signature detected." "Capital Class signature detected." Capital ships proceeds to unload everything at them

The one time I ever called the Fuel Rats, 2 ASP Scouts jump out and murdered the Cmdrs refueling me. After that, Me and a fellow commander launched a 2 day manhunt for em.

A nice little reminder that Rats may not fight back, but they sure do have a lot of scary friends. <3

"Derrybear sends his regards" - can't tell you how much I enjoyed this.

Derrybeat was the fuel rat that saved me so well done m8 :)

"Ah the multicannon, fine weapon. How many should I install?" "Yes" "How many ?" "YES"

Should have ended it with a message saying "Thank you for calling the Fuel Rats :)"

I just started playing Elite Dangerous. I have not yet encountered a member of the Fuel Rats, nor needed their help. But from what i allready heard about them, they must be some of the greatest people in the Elite-galaxy. So even as a newb, this action has my consent. Even heroes need the support of the people

Just imagine you're a Fuel Rat, you've been traveling through space for a couple real time hours to save your client from death, keep in mind what they do is voluntary, so you finally arrive, you pull out your limpets, fuel him up, and you think you've done a successful mission, you're expecting a "thank you!" or a "you're a legend." instead you get a hail of bullets as a thank you, and all of the hard work the rat put in for you was disrespected. and then you get this guy which avenges them :D seriously, don't kill a fuel rat, these people put time and effort to saving you and they don't even get paid for it.

I think we can agree that bounty was worth taking down a Rat killer. Hope he had to get a loaner Sidewinder.

I've never played this game and even I know you don't f*** with the fuel rats
