The Rivet Takes Off

Once Wade Rusk has heard the drive report for Thrust Issues, he has one more job for you, and it is the one the whole repair was for: fly the ship. Move Along asks you to take your Rivet Utility Shuttle from the Crash Site to Holo Hollow Landing. Reporting Thrust Issues to Wade starts it automatically, and the ship will not make its first flight until it has.

Your ship now has its own panel. Wherever the ship actually is, Board Ship opens the Cargo Hold, the fuel tank and the flight controls in one place. The tank holds 300 Fuel Units and every ship starts empty. Load it with a Full Small Fuel Canister from either your Inventory or your Cargo Hold; each click loads one and adds up to 50 Fuel Units, and if the tank cannot hold all 50 the game tells you exactly how much would be wasted before you confirm.

The first flight costs 10 Fuel Units and takes 15 seconds. Launching moves your ship, with its Cargo Hold, from the Crash Site to Holo Hollow Landing for good, and the Crash Site is left as empty ground. You cannot cancel a flight and nothing refunds the fuel. While it lasts you cannot walk or work, but you can still look through your Inventory, Equipment and Missions, and if you close the game it still lands. Touchdown completes Move Along, which pays nothing, and the game shows a Flight complete notice that waits for you until you dismiss it, even on another device.
