Shite.

I've jumped to one too many destinations and I have insufficient fuel to jump anywhere. Worse than that, I am in a system with no station.

What are my options? Suicide?  ::)

Lol beat me to it

My rule of thumb is always go to the station even without items just so you can refuel

I think you paid top dollar for your tea at eranin

JudgeDredd

I paid top dolla for the fuel!! 675 credits!

Tea I made 1100 on.

On the plus side, as I am exploring now, I'm getting familiar with where I can go etc, etc...now, I thought this game had a lot to offer before I found all these other places!

Saw my first proper space station at Romanenko Estate in Opala! Stunning watching it from the outside...just sitting watching it spin round!

Bought my Hauler  ;D

Skills! Should get mine this evening

Emergency fuel is about 100 times the station price

Wait til mining and exploration come in

Solo mode just excludes other players from your game.

QuoteWe are announcing today that the price of the final release of Elite: Dangerous will be £39.99 ($59.99 and €49.99).

We are also announcing a special pre-order digital pack, the Elite: Dangerous Mercenary Edition, which is a bonus pre-order game collection loaded with digital extras.

The pack is available on our store today for new customers at a discounted price off the final release of £35.00 ($50 and €40) plus the addition of the Mercenary Pack extras. Anyone who has already pre-ordered the final release version of Elite: Dangerous (including of course Alpha, Premium Beta and Beta participants) will also receive the bonus pre-order collection when the game is released.

Well, now it is a given that I will be pre-ordering this game at some point.  Still plan to wait until the last beta/first gamma though.  I don't want to jump in while the game is still feature incomplete.

This game is more feature complete (and extremely stable) than most releases over the last few years!  :)

I was counting on the $50 price, but now that we hear the price will go up on release, I'm definitely pre-ordering as well.

I can't see a free eagle...all I see is a cost :-(
NM - being an idiot  :D
