In the case of a CR ship on a planetary surface, the only option is for the CR ship to be flipped over by a rat (i.e. "Tactical Spatula") so the limpets can access the underside of the hull. Suitable ships for the rats include: FDL, Conda, and the Python (for their wedged shape). The Krait MKII is unsuitable, as it was found to have zero collision on the front 'prongs'.

Once jumponium materials have been collected, make sure to plot a route back to safe space with a high enough density of stars for the client to continue their journey.  If multiple rats are assigned to the rescue, one technique is to have one rat plot a route back to safe space, making a list of each jump (also noting jump range) including systems that need jumponium to reach, while the other rat(s) stay with the client and start making jumps when a clear route is identified.

Long range rescues are rescues that are over 1,000 LY from the bubble. Special procedures for this are covered in Long Range Rescue Standard Operating Procedures.

Carriers: When to Use a Carrier for a Rescue

Only use a carrier when the client is confirmed to be in a system that they can't return from without carrier help.

Always check whether the client system is reachable by conventional means first, whether the client has the possibility to use jumponium (see Client Missing Jumponium), or has neutron star access available.

Carriers: When to go Forth and Rescue a Carrier

If the client is in a pocket of star systems with no access to icy rings, the request for help may be valid, ie. if the client is unable to mine fuel because of their location.

Carrier rescue is not to be conducted in cases where the client can rescue themselves with our guidance.
