Once your prices are set and you’re ready to start fueling, you have to open up the fuel pods. Here you can also open the fuel nozzle to start refueling, adjust the rate at which the the fuel is flowing, and see how much of each fuel type is both requested and left to be fulfilled. On the right, you’ll see the current fuel levels for each of your pods and what type of fuel is in them. Next to the pricing options, you’ll see the ship that’s docked to you, its name, and who’s flying it. The Auto Price button will automatically set the price to ten percent more than what you paid for it when you loaded your Starfarer. On the left side of the screen, you can set a specific price for each type of fuel. There’s a few things to set up on the Refueling screen before you can start the fuel transfer process. The request will show up on your HUD, similar to a friend request. Press the button on the bottom of the screen to deploy the boom arm, then accept the docking request. Access the console on the bridge, behind the pilot’s chair, and select the refueling mode. With your filled fuel pods on hand, make your way to the person requesting a fill-up. The Starfarer will automatically move the fuel between those pods. Press Pump on a pod you wish to fill with another, and Open on the pod you wish to empty. These controls can be found on the refueling console on the ship’s bridge, under Pod Management, or you can walk onto the catwalk and use the individual interface for each pod. You’re also able to reallocate fuel between your pods if there’s empty space to do so. Keep in mind, you can’t fill a pod with more than one type of fuel, so choose your options carefully. This will let you individually fill each pod with as much or as little fuel as you need. Open up your mobiGlas, select the Vehicle Maintenance Services app, then pick which fuel you’d like to stock up on and select Manual. The Refueling Process Fill Your Fuel Podsįilling the pods on the Starfarer follows the same process as refueling your own ship. First things first though, you’ll need a refueling ship to get started in this support career. Thinking about slinging fuel around the ‘verse for some cold, hard aUEC? What follows is a step-by-step guide to the entire process, from stocking up on fuel to setting prices, and more. This is handy in the unfortunate case that you come under attack in the middle of refueling. The customer can simply undock by pressing the default keybind N, or the Starfarer can press the Abort button on their refueling interface. The escrow service will refund the remaining aUEC back to the customer.Įither party can abort the refueling process at any time, even if the transaction is partially complete. That way, if either party decides to abort mid-transaction, only the fuel received is paid for. This pays out gradually in real time as you receive your fuel. When you make a refueling request while docked, aUEC is withdrawn from your account based upon the price set by the Starfarer pilot. This is a safeguard that assures all refueling transactions go smoothly, even in the event the job is stopped suddenly. While the refueling process is underway, your aUEC is placed in escrow on the server. This request goes straight to the refueling ship’s operator, who will then start the refueling process. From here, you can select Auto to fill your tanks to the top, or you can hit Manual to request a specific amount of fuel. Next, open up your mobiGlas and select the Vehicle Maintenance Services app. At that point you can manually dock with the arm by lining up the HUD, or you can hold the request-to-dock key to do so automatically. The refueling ship then has to approve the request and extend their boom arm. Once you’ve successfully hailed a refueling ship to your location, target them (default key “T”) and request to dock (default key “N”). Read on for a step-by-step guide to the ship’s systems, whether you are looking to refuel others or get refueled yourself. We’ve put together this guide for those of you looking to start your own career in refueling as a freelance pilot, as part of an org like Altama Energy, or supporting events from orgs like ATMO esports and for you gearheads that are simply curious about how Starfarers operate.
