General / Off-Topic Should I take this as a bad omen?

[AkenBosch]

...I was all smug and pompous when I finally bought the ship I had wanted for ages...a sleek, luxurious Orca. Of course no ship should depart for the maiden voyage without first having been christened with some good wishing, auspicious name. It's a luxury passenger ship, all panoramic windows and smooth white bulkheads, it's literally a cruise ship in space...heck why not, I'll name it like that cruise ship I embarked on some years ago, what a holyday that was! Plenty of good memories...MSC Armonia. I like that, good for celebration and giggles...and it goes along well with the hull too!

Then today, this happens:

What do you think now, should I rename it as soon as I get back to port? That is, if I manage to get it back to port without crashing into the pad or anything else, of course.

Maybe just engineer the lateral thrusters and everything will be alright.

Tis but a scratch!

Now if that were the Elite universe the port would open fire on that ship, passengers or no.

Maybe if you tried this in Somalia, they actually would.

I'd wait for it to drop a load of containers......... also coincidence.

Just fly it like the original captain, and you are good.

Why did it try to dock at an outpost ?
