this ought to be good for a chuckle or two 
what put you the closest to rage quitting this game?
and since i asked, i may as well start.
during Beta i worked my way up to a shiny asp stuck some guns on it and thought, hell lets see what this thing can do, heading out with a more or less stock asp and a bunch of guns on it to a resource site and engaging the local pirates, had a blast too until i lost situational awareness and kissed an rather large rock at a fairly high speed. Incidentally, that was when i did learn about insurance and more particular, insurance caps. so, now we are back in a shiny new sidewinder, frustrated but wiser. This was not what made me want to walk away tho, i went like OK, fine, lesson learned, lets do better. so back at it, trading, wheeling and dealing. working my way back up to another asp, this time i make sure i got plenty extra cash and i put some modules in as i learned more how all this works together. after a bit of trading and equipping with better modules, i got that itchy trigger finger again and went to a conflict zone around Eranin and went to the one with the capital ship as i haven't done much combat up until then i figured it be a good place to get my feet wet, learn how this ship handles and all that. shooting at some guys there nailing a few i taken a tight turn and suddenly look at the side of the capital ship.... close enough to inspect the details of its welding seams. woops. hey, no big deal, right? i did learn my lesson that first time, about insurance and all? well, one scowling claims adjuster later, i hop into that new asp he grudgingly coughed up. given, i am rather miffed at that point ticked off that i just wiped out a lot of the profits i had to pay the co-payment on that, and take of with some unneeded elan and some goods in the hold to go trade and make money back since i am apparently useless in the situational awareness department, engaging thrusters, gear up, heading for the exit, line up, boost... oh, hello Type 9 just where did you come fro...BOOOOM.
wow, sidewinders sure are cute..... (i still hear the guy from the insurance laughing) that made me turn the game off and my desk still has a indention in the middle oddly shaped like my face. i ended up taking the rest of that day off ED but in the end the draw was to strong and i started back up, far more cautious and keeping my fingers off the boost key untill i am well clear of the station (note, my situational awareness has improved since and i refrained from smacking anymore ships into rather large objects)
