You're fine paying insurance to continue your run from your previous docking.Alec, good to know! I'll see if I can't swing that too (pun intended).
Anyway, I think I'll have to restore the Nimble Flipper tomorrow. For the Spa Run, with three out of four stops done, I only had to pay a visit to Hutton Orbital and I would've been home free. Halfway there, something dawned on me. A few calculations in my head told me that I was going to cut it close, or not cut it all.
I kid you not. 28,944 lightseconds away from Hutton Orbital, I ran out of fuel. I had completely underestimated the fuel needs of this trip. Funny, how I thought I'd save valuable time not hanging around Alpha Centauri too much. I mean, I could just refuel fully in the blink of an eye at Hutton, right?
Well, there I was, stranded in outer space, without fuel, but as I hit the switch to engage the self destruct sequence, I could swear I could feel the warmth of Proxima Centauri. It felt like home.
Edit: Fudge it. Unless the rules say I can't, I'm just gonna pay the insurance and try again right now.
(As long as you still bring 1t of each item back to Weyl Gateway obviously)

Sorry, I misread your post and didn't see that you were visiting Hutton last. I'm afraid that if you don't make it back to Weyl Gateway with all the required items, then your run doesn't count. #RATSIGNAL would definitely have been the best option (and a cool gaming experience). Rusti could have rescued you and got a Mr's Lonnegan's Ultimate Spa Weekend Trophy run in at the same time!
