Clap... clap... clap...

I did worse in my rookie days:

  • Trying to land backwards
  • Hitting "Boost" instead of "Reverse" while inching into the landing position (eject, eject, eject!)
  • Missing the mail slot from outside and inside the station
  • Boosting into the mail slot to get a face-full of T-9 (eject, eject, eject!)
  • Not remembering the station had arms while exiting and flying around it (eject, eject, eject!)
  • Flying into the station without requesting to land, panicking, hitting the station wall (eject, eject, eject!)

You get the picture.... :p
 
I still smack the station once in a while, but nowadays it's just due to extreme carelessness/recklessness. The best one when I was new was coming in too low and wedging myself under the ramp. D'oh!
 
I prefer to imagine that he hasn't been paying his mechanic lately, so the mechanic tampered with the shielding on the power plant and turned the pilot's ship into a giant electromagnet.
