Ok I just started playing. I have restarted several times looking for random missions that I would be able to accomplish. I had thought I would be able to start from scratch by restarting in selecting a new random mission. To my surprise I found a mission that I had selected earlier but I didn't know I had.
In addition, after about the 4 try I no longer start at my starting space port. I have a ship in a another star system with heat damage and 2 missions. What do I have to do to start with a clean slate? Blow up my ship, or reinstall the game?
