{{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.


The '''{{SUBPAGENAME}}''' is a {{BASEPAGENAME}} that will let pilots swap [[fuel]] while in-flight. Players can act as buddy tankers for each other. Larger [[:Category:Freighter|freight]] [[ships]] can carry additional fuel for their escort [[:Category:Fighters|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 through extra [[Fuel Tank]]s for refuelling fellow members of its wing.
==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.
