Don't drive your SRV onto a landing pad.

[HatedEnemy]

Just got back from a decent exploration trip. Hit Elite. Cool. Made enough to buy and start outfitting my first Anaconda. Also cool. Got blown up within 30 minutes. Not so cool. Went to Palin's to engineer the thrusters, thought his base looked neat so I deployed my SRV to drive around. Ended up on a landing pad. Didn't notice the timer fast enough. Got a fine, then SRV destroyed by the defenses. No big deal I thought. Respawned back in the ship in the hangar. Anonymous access. Ok there's an IF 1 jump away. Also no big deal. Launched my ship then immediately got destroyed by the defenses. Ate my first Anaconda re-buy. Luckily it was relatively cheap since I was outfitting for exploration. Still, kind of silly a few hundred credit fine can lead to a 7mil rebuy.
TL, DR: See topic title.

sometimes this game just gives you a beating....and then a big bag of salt....laced with vinegar.

You telling me not to drive my SRV onto a pad, makes me want to drive my SRV onto a pad even more

Toss in some iodine for that open wound and you have winning combination. Yeah, can't say I've experienced similar... as I've bit the Bullet a few times...

Sorry gotta try it for myself, I'm a GTA'er, so stunts like these are not out of the question. Thanks for posting!

Remember those warnings. "Do not try this at home.. yada yada yada" warnings? My brother and I took them as personal challenges.
