This morning for no obvious reason, I remembered the Fuel Rats. Elite:Dangerous is an MMO space sim game, with a big galaxy in which you fly a spaceship doing stuff. Spaceships need fuel, which you buy at stations, or if you have a fuel scoop you can skim the surface of certain stars to get usable fuel. Space is big though, and it's quite possible to run yourself low on fuel in a way that you can no longer warp to any inhabited system to refuel. At which point you're screwed.

    Love the Fuel Rats, they saved me my second week playing when I accidentally jumped to a star I couldn’t scoop from and before I really had anything. It is really cool that this is one thing people do in a game about doing whatever you want in space (unless that thing you want to do is not go through menus, dear lord there are a lot of menus but its fun)
