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. Read on for a step-by-step guide to the ship's systems, whether you are looking to refuel others or get refueled yourself.\n\nEscrow Service and Emergency Undocking\nWhile the refueling process is underway, your aUEC is placed in escrow on the server. This is a safeguard that assures all refueling transactions go smoothly, even in the event the job is stopped suddenly. When you make a refueling request while docked, aUEC is withdrawn from your account based upon the price set by the Starfarer pilot. This pays out gradually in real time as you receive your fuel. That way, if either party decides to abort mid-transaction, only the fuel received is paid for. The escrow service will refund the remaining aUEC back to the customer.\n\nEither party can abort the refueling process at any time, even if the transaction is partially complete. The customer can simply undock by pressing the default keybind N, or the Starfarer can press the Abort button on their refueling interface. This is handy in the unfortunate case that you come under attack in the middle of refueling.\n\nRefining\nFifty\nAlpha 3.17 brings this brand new support career to Star Citizen, and as the 'verse expands, ship to ship refueling will become ever more vital.\nWe're excited for Starfarer pilots to jump in and give this new gameplay a test drive. It's important to note that this is our first iteration of ship to ship refueling, and we're looking forward to expanding this gameplay loop by adding refining to the mix in future patches. In the meantime, head over to our dedicated feedback thread on Spectrum and let us know your thoughts, questions, and concerns.\nVectorHow to Refuel Your ShipRequest to DockOnce you've successfully hailed a refueling ship to your location, target them (default key \"T\") and request to dock (default key \"N\"). The refueling ship then has to approve the request and extend their boom arm. 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.\n\nRequest FuelNext, open up your mobiGlas and select the Vehicle Maintenance Services app. 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. This request goes straight to the refueling ship's operator, who will then start the refueling process.\n\nStart Your Refueling CareerThinking 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. First things first though, you'll need a refueling ship to get started in this support career.\n\nMISC StarfarerThe Starfarer is MISC's dedicated fuel platform, designed not only to load, store and protect fuel stasis units, it is also equipped to take in spaceborne gases and refine them for use without landing.\n\nMISC Starfarer GeminiThe UEE military uses the more robust Gemini variant of the Starfarer for their front-line operations, trading some cargo capacity and maneuverability for reinforced armor, increased shielding, more powerful engines,stronger manned turrets, and a missile pod.\n\nThe Refueling ProcessFill Your Fuel PodsFilling the pods on the Starfarer follows the same process as refueling your own ship. Open up your mobiGlas, select the Vehicle Maintenance Services app, then pick which fuel you'd like to stock up on and select Manual. This will let you individually fill each pod with as much or as little fuel as you need. Keep in mind, you can't fill a pod with more than one type of fuel, so choose your options carefully.\n\nYou're also able to reallocate fuel between your pods if there's empty space to do so. 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. Press Pump on a pod you wish to fill with another, and Open on the pod you wish to empty. The Starfarer will automatically move the fuel between those pods.\n\nAccept the Fuel RequestWith your filled fuel pods on hand, make your way to the person requesting a fill-up. Access the console on the bridge, behind the pilot's chair, and select the refueling mode. Press the button on the bottom of the screen to deploy the boom arm, then accept the docking request. The request will show up on your HUD, similar to a friend request.\n\nPrepare and PriceThere's a few things to set up on the Refueling screen before you can start the fuel transfer process. On the left side of the screen, you can set a specific price for each type of fuel. The Auto Price button will automatically set the price to ten percent more than what you paid for it when you loaded your Starfarer. Next to the pricing options, you'll see the ship that's docked to you, its name, and who's flying it.\n\nOn the right, you'll see the current fuel levels for each of your pods and what type of fuel is in them. Here you can also open the fuel nozzle to start refueling, adjust the rate at which the fuel is flowing, and see how much of each fuel type is both requested and left to be fulfilled.\n\nFill 'er Up!Once your prices are set and you're ready to start fueling, you have to open up the fuel pods. You can do so by pressing the Pod Management button on the Refueling screen, pictured here, or a member of your crew can do so from the screens on the Starfarer's catwalk.\n\nPress Open on your selected fuel pod to allow the fuel to flow, toggle the Nozzle to Open, and adjust the fuel rate to your desired speed. Be careful, as fueling too fast can run the risk of overflow, possibly damaging the fuel nozzle or wasting your fuel as it flies into space! Be sure to close the nozzle or hit Stop on the fuel pod as the refueling process finishes","de_DE":"Schiff zu Schiff Betankung\nAlpha 3.17\nStar Citizen Alpha 3.17 f\u00fchrt die M\u00f6glichkeit ein, Schiffe w\u00e4hrend des Fluges aufzutanken, indem es die Systeme der MISC Starfarer Schiffe nutzt. Wir haben diesen Leitfaden f\u00fcr alle zusammengestellt, die als freiberufliche Piloten, als Teil einer Organisation wie Altama Energy oder als Unterst\u00fctzer von Orgs wie ATMO esports ihre eigene Karriere im Betanken von Schiffen starten wollen. Und f\u00fcr alle, die einfach nur neugierig sind, wie die Starfarer funktionieren. Im Folgenden findest du eine Schritt-f\u00fcr-Schritt-Anleitung zu den Schiffssystemen, egal ob du andere betanken oder selbst betankt werden m\u00f6chtest.\n\nTreuhandservice und Notabdocken\nW\u00e4hrend des Betankungsvorgangs wird dein aUEC auf dem Server hinterlegt. Dies ist eine Sicherheitsma\u00dfnahme, die gew\u00e4hrleistet, dass alle Betankungsvorg\u00e4nge reibungslos ablaufen, selbst wenn der Auftrag pl\u00f6tzlich abgebrochen wird. Wenn du eine Betankungsanfrage stellst, w\u00e4hrend du angedockt bist, werden die aUEC auf der Grundlage des vom Starfarer-Piloten festgelegten Preises von deinem Konto abgezogen. Die Auszahlung erfolgt schrittweise in Echtzeit, w\u00e4hrend du deinen Treibstoff erh\u00e4ltst. Wenn also eine der beiden Parteien mitten in der Transaktion abbricht, wird nur der erhaltene Treibstoff bezahlt. Der Treuhandservice erstattet dem Kunden den verbleibenden aUEC zur\u00fcck.\n\nBeide Parteien k\u00f6nnen den Tankvorgang jederzeit abbrechen, auch wenn die Transaktion bereits teilweise abgeschlossen ist. Der Kunde kann einfach abdocken, indem er die Standardtastenkombination N dr\u00fcckt, oder der Starfarer kann die Schaltfl\u00e4che Abbrechen auf seinem Tankinterface dr\u00fccken. Das ist praktisch f\u00fcr den Fall, dass du mitten im Tankvorgang angegriffen wirst.\n\nSo betankst du dein Schiff\nAnkoppeln anfordern\nTreibstoff anfordern\nZum Andocken auffordern\nWenn du erfolgreich ein Tankschiff zu deinem Standort gerufen hast, rufe es an (Standardtaste \"T\") und fordere es zum Andocken auf (Standardtaste \"N\"). Das Tankschiff muss die Anfrage best\u00e4tigen und seinen Auslegerarm ausfahren. Dann kannst du entweder manuell mit dem Arm andocken, indem du das HUD ausrichtest, oder du h\u00e4ltst die Andockanforderungstaste gedr\u00fcckt, damit dies automatisch geschieht.\n\nTreibstoff anfordern\nAls N\u00e4chstes \u00f6ffnest du dein mobiGlas und w\u00e4hlst die App Fahrzeugwartungsdienste. Hier kannst du \"Auto\" w\u00e4hlen, um deine Tanks bis oben hin zu f\u00fcllen, oder du kannst \"Manuell\" w\u00e4hlen, um eine bestimmte Menge Kraftstoff anzufordern. Diese Anfrage geht direkt an den Betreiber des Tankschiffs, der dann den Tankvorgang startet.\n\nStart deiner Betankungskarriere\nHast du Lust, f\u00fcr ein paar harte Euro Treibstoff im Meer zu tanken? Im Folgenden findest du eine Schritt-f\u00fcr-Schritt-Anleitung f\u00fcr den gesamten Prozess, von der Bevorratung des Treibstoffs bis zum Festlegen der Preise und vielem mehr. Das Wichtigste zuerst: Du brauchst ein Tankschiff, um mit dieser Karriere zu beginnen.\n\nDer Betankungsprozess\nF\u00fclle deine Treibstoffkapseln\nNimm die Treibstoffanforderung an\nVorbereiten und Bepreisen\nTanken!\nF\u00fclle deine Treibstoffkapseln\nDas Betanken der Pods auf der Starfarer l\u00e4uft genauso ab wie das Betanken deines eigenen Schiffs. \u00d6ffne dein mobiGlas, w\u00e4hle die App Fahrzeugwartungsdienste, w\u00e4hle dann den Treibstoff, den du tanken m\u00f6chtest, und w\u00e4hle Manuell. So kannst du jede Kapsel einzeln mit so viel oder so wenig Treibstoff bef\u00fcllen, wie du brauchst. Bedenke, dass du einen Tank nur mit einer Kraftstoffsorte f\u00fcllen kannst, also w\u00e4hle deine Optionen sorgf\u00e4ltig aus.\n\nDu kannst den Treibstoff auch zwischen deinen Gondeln umverteilen, wenn der Platz daf\u00fcr frei ist. Diese Steuerung findest du an der Betankungskonsole auf der Schiffsbr\u00fccke unter \"Pod-Management\" oder du gehst auf den Laufsteg und benutzt das individuelle Interface f\u00fcr jeden Pod. Dr\u00fccke auf \"Pumpen\" bei der Kapsel, die du mit einer anderen f\u00fcllen willst, und auf \"\u00d6ffnen\" bei der Kapsel, die du leeren willst. Die Starfarer wird den Treibstoff automatisch zwischen diesen Gondeln hin- und herschieben.\n\nAkzeptiere die Treibstoffanforderung\nWenn du deine gef\u00fcllten Treibstoffkapseln zur Hand hast, machst du dich auf den Weg zu der Person, die dich zum Tanken auffordert. Gehe zur Konsole auf der Br\u00fccke hinter dem Pilotensessel und w\u00e4hle den Betankungsmodus. Dr\u00fccke die Taste am unteren Bildschirmrand, um den Auslegerarm auszufahren, und akzeptiere dann die Andockanfrage. Die Anfrage wird auf deinem HUD angezeigt, \u00e4hnlich wie bei einer Freundschaftsanfrage.\n\nVorbereitungen und Preis\nAuf dem Betankungsbildschirm musst du ein paar Dinge einstellen, bevor du mit dem Treibstofftransfer beginnen kannst. Auf der linken Seite des Bildschirms kannst du f\u00fcr jede Treibstoffart einen bestimmten Preis festlegen. Mit der Schaltfl\u00e4che \"Automatischer Preis\" wird der Preis automatisch um zehn Prozent h\u00f6her angesetzt als der Preis, den du beim Tanken deines Starfarers bezahlt hast. Neben den Preisoptionen siehst du das Schiff, das bei dir angedockt ist, seinen Namen und wer es fliegt.\n\nAuf der rechten Seite siehst du den aktuellen Treibstoffstand f\u00fcr jede deiner Kapseln und die Art des Treibstoffs, der sich in ihnen befindet. Hier kannst du auch die Zapfpistole \u00f6ffnen, um mit dem Tanken zu beginnen, die Geschwindigkeit des Treibstoffflusses einstellen und sehen, wie viel von jeder Treibstoffsorte angefordert wurde und noch \u00fcbrig ist.\n\nVolltanken!\nSobald deine Preise festgelegt sind und du mit dem Tanken beginnen kannst, musst du die Tankbeh\u00e4lter \u00f6ffnen. Das kannst du tun, indem du auf dem Betankungsbildschirm auf die Schaltfl\u00e4che \"Pod Management\" dr\u00fcckst (siehe Bild), oder ein Mitglied deiner Crew kann dies auf den Bildschirmen auf dem Laufsteg der Starfarer tun.\n\nDr\u00fccke auf \u00d6ffnen an der ausgew\u00e4hlten Tankkapsel, um den Treibstoff flie\u00dfen zu lassen, schalte die D\u00fcse auf Offen und stelle die Treibstoffmenge auf die gew\u00fcnschte Geschwindigkeit ein. Sei vorsichtig, denn wenn du zu schnell tankst, besteht die Gefahr, dass der Treibstoff \u00fcberl\u00e4uft und die D\u00fcse besch\u00e4digt wird oder dein Treibstoff ins All fliegt! Vergewissere dich, dass du die D\u00fcse schlie\u00dft oder auf \"Stop\" dr\u00fcckst, wenn der Tankvorgang beendet ist.","zh_CN":"Ship to Ship Refueling\nAlpha 3.17\nStar Citizen Alpha 3.17 introduces the ability to refuel ships mid-flight, utilizing the systems built into MISC's line of Starfarer ships.
