self-destruction my only option?

I just took what I thought would be a relatively straightforward mission to kill 4 pirate ships. Unfortunately I was out fought by a well-shielded eagle pilot and his friend. I survived, just - but they apparently destroyed my thrusters.

I guess that's it, nothing I can do to get back for repairs?
 
How does one self destruct?
I looked in the key bindings but couldn't find it.

BTW if you come across my skeleton floating by in an out of fuel sidewinder give us a wave :)
 
The right panel ("4") has a FUNCTIONS tab. At the very bottom it says "self destruct". Never tested it, though, hope I never have to

LOL, the last thing you want is a key bound to self destruct. :D Imagine the number of forum posts we would get every week from people who blew themselves up by accident and demanding a refund! We have enough of that with people boosting into station walls.
 
This is that other reason why we need the distress signal.

I really beleive the devs should take this in consideration and re-add the distress signal as soon as possible.
 
fit a repair unit if you have the slot available. I never leave home without one of those and a fuel scoop.
