Tanks for the Ride

Once your Rivet has flown and you are a Welding 16 hand, Wade Rusk has a new job for you: Tanks for the Ride. The engine will take you farther than the tank will, and he has a retrofit in mind. He is not doing it for you.

Bring three Empty Small Fuel Canisters, four Mounting Brackets, four Galvaferrite, one Galvanic Wire Spool and two Power Cells, then weld thirty-two sections. The work happens on your own Rivet, wherever it is parked, so it does not matter whether the ship is at Holo Hollow Landing or Stillreach Landing Station. Bring the parts in batches. Your finished welds, your installed parts and any Clean Pass you have lined up are all kept if you stop, fly, reload or log out, and until the last weld holds your Rivet still flies on its original 300 Fuel Unit tank.

The thirty-second section is the payoff. It finishes the Mission and raises that ship's tank to 750 Fuel Units in one go, with a Mission Complete notice and the new gauge. It is capacity, not fuel: the fuel you already have stays exactly as it was, and you fill the extra room with ordinary Full Small Fuel Canisters. The thirty-two sections pay their usual Welding XP, 1,600 base in all, and nothing else is handed over, so there is no one to report back to. Ships that have not had the job done keep their 300 Fuel Unit tank, and every flight you can make today works as before.
