Nah, you only get idiot of the week if you flew all the way back to get an SRV without realising there's a starport nearby...

For flying 786 light years to a Guardian site before realising that I'd forgotten to change ship and had no SRV on board.

For taking the time to build and engineer a long-haul T9, only to realize last night that long-haul trucking isn't a thing in ED. I'm at Mammon wondering what I should do.

Recently saw a trade loop route worth 12k/ton out in Kinesi, but it would likely be done by the time you got there.

There are still 9k/ton loop routes with under 50LY travel.

When the new mining mechanics were introduced recently I had to go back to the station about three times because I kept forgetting various pieces of required kit. I was livid. :)

It does exist! Operation Ida are currently repairing the starports in the Pleiades and we get a lot of our commodities from long haul (200-400 ly) trade routes!

I've been seen, repeatedly, leaving a station happily with an SRV bay installed, only lacking the actual vehicle inside.

Ooooh yeah, don’t feel too bad i think we all know that feeling. Finally get where you’re going, look down at the panel and... where’s my SRV?? Oh.... well damn.

Oh, been there! Geez; the idea of 800LY used to make me sweat. Then I did Colonia/Sag A*. Now I think "well, it's only another 1200LY so I'll just do that now, before bed". Hmm. I may have lost some perspective....

I’d say “Oops”, but “oops” doesn’t quite cover it.

I once did 14 jumps to find one of those Guardin installation things in space only to discover I couldn’t charge the parts with mining lances. That sucked too.

I know of a certain place, where a certain group of people have contributed to a global email storm.

This is not the first time it has happened.

These are professional adults... and email has been a mainstream thing for nigh on 20 years now.
