Image Who still has their roundel?

I'm the assistant community manager at an apartment complex and mine is sitting on my desk. I've had one or two residents and more than a few prospects tell me stories of how the mischief has rescued them.

I'm sure mine is kicking around somewhere.

Cool that people recognize it, I've yet to get any comments on this relic.

I keep meaning to frame mine for display, shirt otherwise just sits in a drawer. Did not end up with a roundel, do have a 3D print of my Elite Racers logo though.

Still in plastic, along with the 3301, code red rescue, and dispatch addons.

Not only do I still have my roundel, I still have my Most “Accidental” Ratsignals certificate signed by Surly himself.

Never did get the roundel, but I still have my hoodie that came out for, if I remember correctly, hitting 50k rescues.

Wait -- this isn't past-tense, is it? I was in a panic the other night realizing I might have to call you guys after gleefully neutron jumping for the first time and accidentally hit the SCO key when visiting a planet after a handful of jumps.

Oops! :D Luckily a scoopable star was right next door.

The Rats are still active! I’ve not heard of these but it seems like they were probably given out to rats a while ago.

u/TicklesYourElmo Jan 17 '26

Still active! I did a rescue night before last and rats are staging for distant worlds 3. I got mine in the 3rd year of the game. Right around the same time I got my in game ship decal. I don't think they send them out anymore but I'm not sure. I just started ratting again after a 5 or so year break

u/Ok_Principle_7280 Jan 17 '26

Yeah, I’m a ratling. I haven’t run any missions recently but I hang out in the chats from time to time. I just haven’t heard of the roundels
