Not sure why this thread is making me feel so sentimental, but now I've got Sad Ben Affleck stuck in my headI'm not criticizing the OP, I did exactly the same in my first week of play - flew a T6 without rebuy until I sold off the cargo it was carrying... never made it to the station to sell the cargo... Lost interdiction, was stupid enough to fire the pea-shooters on the T6, hello Sidey, my old friend... Easy enough to do, instant lesson in rebuy too

I do like a good rant!
Yep, that's a pretty good deal and the OP should definitely consider it. An even better deal, though, is the free fully A rated Fleet Carrier waiting at Beagle Point.

Maybe a big “YOU HAVE NO REBUY” message should fill your screen as you try to leave the station. Much like the ‘Adaptive Zoom Failed’ message. Nice and annoying.
Exactly how old are you? I'm 50 and OTOH has been around for years. Like since early Usenet.
OTGH...
Do not fly with out a re-buy.....
been said 1000's of time's! On one of the few occasions, I will say this one is not FDev's fault!
AKA - I didn't fly with enough rebuy for my level of inadequacy.
I have respect for the FA-Off players, It takes a lot of learning (which I barely make beginner!)
I challenged myself to learn FA Off and keyboard and mouse at the same time (previously had only played on a HOTAS with no experience gaming on a keyboard) and while it was a considerable challenge, it was ultimately rewarding. If you just dive into the deep end of FA Off flying you'll find yourself wondering why you ever flew with flight assist on. 100% FA Off is a total game changer.
Pretty sure there's signs now on the advertising boards outside starports made by the community about not flying without rebuy
Everyone saying never fly without a rebuy in case someone makes you go boom, I'd managed to earn enough to get out of the sidey and into a Viper without a rebuy (mistake) or a fuel scoop... so after a self inflicted rebuy I was back in the sidey and ranting at my 6 month old daughter about how life's not fair 
I have been playing since the Beta 2.4 release on Steam, - soon after, I switched to Frontier.com (why go thru a 3rd party?), - I lost many, many ships during the "old days" type of training when they dumped you into Open in an unaltered Sidewinder without a docking computer and chased by everybody's uncle - I learned quickly how to avoid interdictions during SuperCruise or if caught, using maneuvering skills I didn't know I had. I lost at least 1 ship-per-day during that time, barely getting a rebuy while retaining a small number of credits.
Stacking Missions was the most likely cause since I was in a hurry to gain a more useful ship, higher rankings, or the better missions I saw in the "requirements not met" section - This game is for the LONG HAUL type of play, take your time, don't get greedy, you can always go back for that next tasty mission you saw at the last location. Short term gratification is not a good play style in this game or in RL.
