Newcomer / Intro tip of the day: Don't boost inside a Starport

While I highly recommend trying docking and RES bounty hunting under influence at least once (preferably in a throwaway Sidewinder), do not go out exploring in that state of mind. ("Wait, I forgot to shcan that shtar... Which one was it... Col Shector 285... 08.. 15? 16? Wooh, binary! Gotta shcoop! Were did my hull go? I wonna go home!")

Haha. I just see a sidewinder our in the middle of empty space with a guy wondering how the hell he got out there without a fuel scoop and more importantly how he's gonna get back.

Yes, you can imagine my language at the time - didn't engage brain at the time (was probably trying to slow / boost away from hitting the back wall at the time!)

Usually a four letter word repeated in quick succession, followed another which is drawn out, finally ending in a single four letter word that any gamer will understand immediately, a word that is utterly filled with misery, and betrayal, confusion, hurt and anger. :D

I boosted to kill myself

I was stranded in some random asteroid field, so in order to restart before knowing there was a suicide option, I decided to boost myself into an astroid. Worked like a charm.
 
EXCEPTION! You can boost in a starport while you're leaving :D


I did that, hit the edge of the rotating exit/entrance with my wing, bounced through the station's interior like a squash ball, miraculously survived with no damage but disabled shields, and decided a warned man counts for two. No more boosting inside stations until I get more experience ;)
