A new fuel drone will let players swap fuel while in flight. Players can act as buddy tankers for each other. Larger freight ships can carry additional fuel for their escort fighters and extend the effective range of their wing. This is a useful advantage, as if you are in a wing, and want more utilities for fighting, etc, instead of a fuel scoop, you can have a "mothership" which holds excess fuel for refuelling fellow members of its wing.

{{quote|Limpets controlled by this module can transfer fuel to a targeted ship in 1 ton increments each. The limpet is consumed in this process. Fuel is taken from the firing ships main tank and sent to the targeted ship via the limpet.|In-Game Description}}
The '''Fuel Transfer Limpet Controller''' is a type of [[Limpet Controller]] module that can program limpets to transfer quantities of fuel from a [[Ships|ship's]] [[Fuel Tank]] to the Fuel Tank of a targeted ship. This is most useful in refueling ships that do not have a [[Fuel Scoop]] installed or lack sufficient fuel to jump to scoopable star.
 
==Usage==
Fuel Transfer Limpets allow pilots to exchange fuel between themselves in situations where access to refueling is limited or nonexistent. The most common application is in the [[Roles#Support|Support role]] made famous by the [[Fuel Rats]], in which one pilot provides aid to another in need to prevent the loss of their ship.
 
In [[Wing]]s, one member can be designated as a dedicated fuel carrier and fly a large ship with multiple reserve Fuel Tanks. The fuel carrier can keep the other members fueled and thus allow them to specialize for [[combat]] or other roles without setting aside internal compartments for a Fuel Scoop or reserve Fuel Tank themselves. This can extend the Wing's effective travel range and the activity time.
