Dart across the lounge to rescue your daughter and look back at the computer monitor to your ASP nose dive into a neutron star.
That's how I last cracked my canopy.

I know that but I had to rush. A cracked canopy is easier to live with than the wife would have been had I let the child get crushed

But isn't she supposed to look after the child, so you can play in peace? ;-)

Your cat is not trained. Mine can not only step on the keyboard (changing the focus from elite to something else) and bump my joystick... but my cat is so well trained he can turn off the monitor. He can also both turn the laptop into airplane mode and disable the track pad at the same time. Finally there are times where he wants to chase the mouse pointer and try to eat the screen bumping all sorts of things in the process.
Mine does most of the same, I blame his young age, plus the fact we had him neutered, and this his was of payback.
Caught between a normal star (burning me up) and a neutron star....
I start off in a broken ship , looks cooler to the alien women lol
I suffer from "Ale Related Stupid Errors" which on occasion have cause me to crash, bang and wallop my ship half way around the galaxy
For me it was Alt+Tabing, and then closing another window. That puts you right back into the game, but in a strange half-windowed mode that effectively shuts off your flight controls. So you watch helplessly as your ship careens into a star as you exit witchspace!
The solution: quickly Alt+Tab and then mouse click on the ED client .exe on the menu bar to reopen the program. Then you quickly hit the brakes and veer away from the star!!! hopefully before crashing.

When you get back in to port.... open up "repairs" and look at the top.... you may see some damage that you are not aware of... this is wear and tear on our hull from being exposed to "space grit" and getting to close to hostile suns.... I usually come back with 3% wear on my hull which is about 1950 cr. of repair. Hope that you take little damage and keep your ship repaired.

Whenever I have to leave the controls I save and exit to mainscreen.
Whenever I jump I to the next system I put the thrust lever to 0.
Whenever I end up between two stars after a jump... I shriek, apply full throttle and try to get out from the hot situation asap.
Sometimes more, sometimes less successful.
Those jumps between two stars are nasty. And neutron stars are even worse.
