And despite not being "formally" a part of the game, the fuel rats have become ingrained in Elite's lore and playerbase. It's known, pervasively, that the fuel rats exist, and that if you put out a distress signal, they _will_ come help you, come what may.

Occasionally, griefers put out false flags and attack the fuel rats that come to them. With no explicit coordination, this immediately became the most reviled form of piracy, in a game where piracy is broadly considered okay.

The thing I find remarkable about this, is that the Fuel Rats aren't a game feature. There are no rewards for being a fuel rat (in fact, it's policy to refuse payment if the recuee offers), except the intrinsic reward of helping people have a nice time.

Despite this, the fuel rats were one of the first "guilds" formed, if you want to call them that, and have been going strong for years. According to their stats, they have rescued 157 thousand stranded players, with a 96% success rate.

‘Oxfam’s research found that fifty of the world’s richest billionaires produce on average more carbon emissions in under three hours than the average British person does in their entire lifetime. On average, they take 184 private jet flights in a single year, spending 425 hours in the air.’

Are you an indie game developer? Would you like your game localized in French? Hire me!

* I go beyond simple translation and try my best to match tone and cultural references for a francophone audience
* I hold queer and especially non-binary representation to utmost importance and will use non-standard writing forms and neopronouns to bend the strongly binary gendered French language into respecting and communicating your characters' gender identities
* I pay attention to UI design and try my best to make sure text fits the spaces it's in and is appropriate with its context
* As this is not an occupation I depend on, I am willing to discuss rates to fit your budget and remain accessible

A looooong overdue commission for Aubrin.
Jaye is usually trouble for the local authorities. This time, it looks like she caused so much trouble they had to dis-arm her.
