Out of fuel without fuel scoop, stations, beacon?
So i forgot to refuel at the previous star system and cannot get to the next or hyper fly back to the previous. I do not have a distress beacon or a fuel scoop, do i have any options left besides the big red button that is hooked up to all the C4 behind my seat?
Best Answer
First find the nearest place with a station you can refuel. The route plotted will not plot the nearest but most efficient. That may reduce range enough so you can jump. If not then jettision cargo as that reduces mass and may also let you get to a refuelling point. Otherwise you are done!

What to do if I run out of fuel in elite dangerous?
You can refuel at stations whenever you dock. You can also equip a Fuel Scoop and collect fuel from skimming past a suitable sun. Finally, a transfer of fuel from one CMDR to another is possible through the deployment of Fuel Transfer Limpet controllers.Do I have to buy a fuel scoop?
If you want to run delivery missions or do some trading, then I would skip the fuel scoop as you'll be going from station to station. You just need to make sure you can make it there on a tank of fuel. If you want to do combat, you can get rid of both the cargo rack and the BDS.How do you activate the fuel scoop?
You need a fuel transfer limpet controller installed and have limpets in your cargo. Each limpet will transfer 1 ton of fuel from your main tank to their main tank. You need to assign the controller to a fire group. You target the intended client and "fire" a limpet at them.Tutorial: Out of Fuel? Call the FuelRats!
