Everyone's favourite player run in-game rescue service, the Fuel Rats, this week performed one of their most spectacular and daring rescues yet, this is honestly just straight out of a movie or a novel and yet it happened in Elite. In case you're unaware the Fuel Rats are an entirely player run in-game organisation that was set up with the express purpose of rescuing wayward commanders anywhere in the galaxy that had run out of fuel. To date they have performed well in excess of 50,000 rescues, every now and then a rescue of particular note happens and this week was one such occasion. Given that the Rats will rescue you anywhere in the galaxy literally anywhere for free they're all fairly extraordinary but what makes this rescue recounted on Reddit by Commander Mongoose Matt standout is that the client being rescued had run out of fuel entirely, was on emergency life support and was down to their last 3 minutes of oxygen whilst being inside the gravity well of a planet, less than 100km above the surface and was therefore in freefall. By the time the Rats reached the stricken commander ROR Smokey Games they'd fallen to around 80km above the surface, the attending fuel rat immediately let loose two refuel limpips which failed to reach the vessel as it was now falling too fast for them to catch up with it. With no time to spare the valiant rat boosted underneath the falling vessel putting himself between the plummeting ship and its approaching unscheduled rapid disassembly and loose off two more limpits at around 60km above the surface, the limpits managed to dock and transfer fuel to the vessel immediately reigniting its engines and finally arresting the fall. Video of the amazing event is linked on the post on reddit, I've linked it below, do go and check it out it's amazing bravo fuel rats, bravo and my personal thanks to primetime casual for linking me to this story in our discord. Elite is an unusual game for a number of reasons, in the modern world of sharing and online community media photography and videography have very much become part of the games culture. There's at least two player communities within Elite that focus entirely on photography in one form or another, galphoto and spvfa a handy acronym that stands for stellar photography videography and fan art commonly referred to around the burpit as spiver. Every week spiver runs a competition on facebook usually around some sort of theme, commanders are encouraged to submit their best pictures around the theme for the surrounding community of discerning eyes to judge. The results are always entertaining and fascinating and really serve to highlight the inherent beauty of Elite but also the significant embedded talent within the spiver community itself, this week however the spiver community absolutely outdid itself. The given theme this week was elite dangerous themed movie posters with entries encouraged to spoof an established movie poster by putting an elite spin on it. The community jumped on the challenge and as a result our facebook feeds all week have been a constant stream of amazing and hilarious takes on some old favourites, some small examples of which you can see on screen now, our very own commander Rene even submitted one. If you're not a member of the spiver community on facebook I urge you to jump in and take a look, it's especially entertaining this week but it always provides a plethora of beautiful images from the game, links to everything you need are below. And finally, this week on the burpit we're launching a new feature, we're very keen to include some more community generated news and content in our weekly news broadcast and so have set up a specific email address for anyone to submit news to. There's no limit on what we'll cover, we're interested in anything elite related so an in game event you feel needs a light shone on it, a commander meet up outside the game, did something happen in the game that you think more people need to know about or are you organising an expedition and you want to get the word out or just a general piece of news you think we should be covering let us know. Drop a message to the burpit news desk by emailing theburpit.newsdesk at gmail.com We can't guarantee we'll feature everything we received but you may just get a shoutout on this very news broadcast.
