thank god for remlock suits …..
Did i just walk into an OCD anonymous meeting? ... these arent quirks , these are borderline mental health issues commander.
Fly Safe.

I thought about it... and no! Don't need those pics.
You sure? I just shaved my brazilian. Lookin Good!
On my main account, I still have my original, loaned, Sidey.
It has, however, been upgraded and engineered, which makes me sad.
Therefore, on my alt-account, the first mission I took was a data-delivery mission that paid Cr200k, which I used to buy another Sidey so I could park up my completely original loaned Sidey.
On a similar note, I bought, G5-engineered and kept a Keelback - and I even fly it occasionally.
I also did the same thing with an Asp Scout too, although I don't fly that. I may be eccentric but I'm not crazy.

I always try to time a boost so that it starts (after the slight delay) just as the FSD countdown begins. I tell myself it means I'll get to my destination quicker even though I know that's nonsense.
I always try to land like the NPCs do i.e. by flying to the point directly above the landing pad and then thrusting down rather than coming in at an angle.
When leaving a station, I thrust directly "up" so I'm level with the mail slot and then boost out without making any adjustments (full pips to shields obviously)
I can't deploy landing gear without first holding down B (i'm on xbox) so the various different options appear and then I'll press down on the D pad to deploy. Not so much a quirk as a sensible way to avoid accidently boosting (on xbox you boost by tapping B). I learned this the hard way whilst out farming mats in that system with bio's about 1600ly from the bubble. Boosted straight into the planet and died.

I always used to try (and normally fail) to engage a jump when the reticule is exactly central, so the screen doesn't auto re-align.
I dont try at the moment because i need a new hotas, mine has got the full yaw jips.
Still hopefully i can get a new one for xmas

I understand this. My main account is travelling around the galaxy counter-clockwise, so I always align the galactic core off of my left side whenever possible
Yeah I totally don't do this....Very much this. When travelling in the bubble or through systems I've scanned (old ADS and/or new FSS), I have to actively suppress the impulse to honk. Surprisingly often I fail.
Jumps into the system where I'm dropping off my 5th load of cargo for a wing trade mission
HOOOONNNNNNKKKKK

I fuel scoop with the star below me. Back in Frontier and FFE the scoop was mounted on the bottom of the ship and worked better if the target (I say target as we could scoop from gas giants as well) was below.

My Kickstarter Pirate Cobra still has " loaned" parts.
Quirks of play for me:
I refuse to support anarchies, anywhere, in any way. I oppose them whenever I see them and overthrow them when they encroach into "my" territory. There is a starter-level Engineer who insists I befriend an anarchy before she will talk to me. I therefore refuse to have anything to do with her, or any of her terrorist-loving friends. So I have, in effect, cut myself off from having a perfectly min-maxed ship because of this ethical decision.
I never give terrorists/criminals/anarchist/pirates what they demand, ever - it only encourages them. As an ancient American diplomat once said, "Millions for defense, not one cent in triibute". I'd rather lose a trillion credits than voluntarily give a pirate one rusty canister of biowaste. Pirates are welcome to steal from me, but they'll have to use hatch-breakers - and my ships always have most utility slots filled with point defence. If one did get through, I'd rather shoot the cargo than let them take it.
I never target modules, ever. Hull kills, or it doesn't count.

When I jump into a System I always rotate my ship so that the Star is on my left when viwed from my cockpit while scooping or postioning the next system jump, even when NS fueling.
The same for Planets, I always have the Planet on the left when using the Surface Scanner or positioning a base for landing.
However when approaching the Space Stations (not the Outposts) I always position the Station to the right.

Align the text of the destination jump with the horizontal of the galaxy plane....
scoop stars from underneath only
fly a Dolphin exclusively (except when mining through lack of small seismic charges then an Orca is forced upon me)

You weirdos! 
I always scoop with the star "above" me as I zoom around it to the next destination.
And I always dock like a wanted smuggler, avoiding scans and ignoring speed limits, even if I am allied and friendly, with only a couple of limpets on board.
A final one: I always keep the paint at 100% (exploration trips notwithstanding) on my Clipper and Cutter, but never fix the paintwork on any other ship.

I never thought of this as a quirk (till now?) but my commanders won't fly a ship that was built with slave labor. So no Empire ships for me.
I think mine is simply the buying the 10 credits of fuel that will top up the small, in system, fuel tank.
I can leave the integrity provided it doesn't drop below 99%. Am OK with a few scratches.
But logging off with an uncompleted mission, that bugs me. Even if it has several days to run.

If I get an NPC interdicting me I target it's weapons and take them out one by one until they are harmless, then leave them there for the system security to capture. Of course the system security just kill them instead of arresting them but I like to think that they pick up the escape pod and take them to a prison .

One of my Friday Rituals hath returned!
oops!
Wow, this thread revealed an ocd side I wasn't aware of that I had it.
My quirk is that after each session, when I'm in the bubble, I return to my home base Abe Lincoln in Sol before I log off.
Feels like going home.
Good thing I don't have that when I'm 12k ly outside the bubble, ugh.
