Fuel issue

[HeikoFennec]

For the 3 fleet mission runs I lack Any fuel. The game info says I can unlock it via the spacehub but I don't see the tech anywhere.

When you first build a fleet command room a new quest is added to y our log. If you do that quest you unlock the fuel recipes (for free).

Otherwise the place you can pay to unlock them is on your freighter bridge, at the upgrade terminal.

Ahhhh ok. Much appreicated! I'll go at that later today, worn out from fishin rng

On the expedition the guy didn't offer to give me the two larger fuel options so I made a bunch of the small ones. By my third trip they now have made their way into my inventory build menu so I guess they just show up, eventually. Building the fleet command room didn't pop the usual fuel options and they were MIA from the bridge. ymmv. I did knock over a 48 oz bottle of Mountain Dew on the bridge but I thought I got it all sopped up with the Lil Debbies. My bad.

From my experience with this expedition;

You build the Fleet Command Room - now go and access it and it will say there's no active missions.

What is "supposed to" happen is it recognizes this new location and spits out all THREE fuel formulas (50, 100 & 200)

Once you make your fist jump, with or without your freighter the bug goes away. Now when you access the fleet command room, you WILL get those three fuel formulas.

Gledric - exactly.

Lol you don't have to wait for the fleet expedition to end. Just cancel the expedition, dismiss the commander and it counts as one expedition finished. Repeat two more times.

While that's true, I'm not sure how that's relevant to this topic. You still need fuel to send them out before you can recall them.

In the expedition, Fleet Management is not unlocked "normally" in the starter system. It is still usable if you talk to the Navigator after unlocking fuel using a single SFM (or potentially getting some free from Mission Agent/Nexus).

After you warp to the 1st rendezvous system, it works the usual way - build command room, get side-mission, interact with command terminal to unlock recipes and 1 free 200 tonne supply. Then talk to Navigator.

So don’t waste your salvaged frigate module on unlocking frigate fuel. Jump the freighter to a new system first after building the fleet command room.
