A '''Distress Call''' is a type of [[Unidentified Signal Source|signal source]] that is a variant of the [[Weapons Fire]] signal source. It can sometimes serve as a Mission Target USS for [[Mission Board|Assassinate Pirate Lord missions]].<br />
<br />
== Signal Contents ==<br />
A Distress Call will randomly generate different content:<br />
* A trader who has run out of fuel. Pirates may also be present. You can refuel the ship as follows:<br />
*# Install a [[Limpet Controller/Fuel Transferer|Fuel Transfer Limpet Controller]].<br />
*# Buy or [[Synthesis|synthesize]] a few limpets ('''Note:''' they take up cargo space).<br />
*# Setup a fire group for the Fuel Transfer Limpet Controller.<br />
*# Target the ship and press the appropriate fire button. 1t of fuel can be enough for a ship to jump to the nearest system.<br />
* A heavily damaged trader who is under attack from pirates. The pirates will respond if engaged, and will attack in several waves of increasing difficulty.<br />
* A heavily damaged trader who needs a Hull Repair. Use [[Limpet Controller/Repair|Repair Limpets]].<br />
* A debris field and several Search and Rescue ships.<br />
* A [[Federation|Federal]] [[Farragut-Class Battle Cruiser]] under pirate attack.<br />
* Several heavily armed ships (usually [[Anaconda]]s) piloted by high ranking pirates who have faked a distress signal in order to attack any pilot who responds.<br />
* A destroyed [[Majestic-Class Interdictor]] with its fleet and a [[Thargoid]] ship can be found in the HR 1185 system.<br />
* A destroyed Farragut-Class Battle Cruiser with its fleet and a Thargoid Cyclops can be found in the HIP 17044 system.<br />
*A vessel that requests [[Commodities#Foods|Food Commodities]].<br />
<br />
== Spawn Locations ==<br />
Any area of populated space (usually [[Unidentified Signal Source#Shipping Lane|Shipping Lanes]] and [[Unidentified Signal Source#Sphere of Influence (SOI)|spheres of influence]]).<br />
