I think I read about this in another thread recently and thought "That's not right", but...
If yuou choose the "Free Sidewinder" option after your ship is destroyed, do you respawn back at your starter system, not where you died?
Yes that's right....sadly.
Got destroyed from a player in a taxi-sidey and have chosen it once....ONCE. Never again
My home is 600ly away from trevithick dock![]()
Of course if you want to get back to the bubble quickly from jaques just buy yourself a cheap sidey, get destroyed and select free sidewinder and pop, 22k ly in a flash.
Thanks all.
Indeed. How DARE they start another CG at Jaques right after the last one finished, and how VERY dare they make it an exploration CG, AFTER I sold the data I collected getting there?![]()

Damn!
I was just over 300 LY out from Jaques (in my 19 LY Python) when I thought of that thinking "How am I going to get back to the bubble, then back to Jaques in just 3 weeks when it took me 2 weeks to get there in the first place?"
I got so excited that I raced back to Jaques, sold my cargo (90,000 Cr loss on those rare still things), bought a Sidey, sold the internals, boosted into the station wall - still not dead - flew into a landing pad... KABOOM! ... Free Sidey, yes. I reappear in Jameson Memorial and realise I forgot to sell my cartographic data at Jaques.![]()
