Why I will never fly, without the Rebuy!

[Protoplasmic traveler]

I was flying without re-buy in a T9 for a few days and as a consequence I am sure I now have a heart condition.

I will never do that again

I had a similar experience with very different effects I have to say.

Finally saved enough to go for an asp, started to kit the lady out whilst retaining just enough for insurance but knowing I would be pretty wiped out if I died with no money for trade etc, but still, things seemed pretty sweet and uneventful on my traderuns - then one journey I exited supercruise on a regular traderun and all I see if a station zoom in at me at crazy speeds and I am just on the cusp of being smashed by rotating solar panels, gantries, you name it. Wine sputtered everywhere as I desperately tried to orientate myself away and save myself from being smashed - should I put all power to engines or shields? I dunno! Panic brain took over and I made it away, but it made me learn a lesson in that you approach the long stations from the front angle - or else you may regret it later heh

Yes coming in to a station out of supercruise and having a good front facing orientation to the station dock is always nice. I did not think about this much when I first started. It was when I turned the orbital lines back on that it dawned on me that the big stations docks are facing the planets or center of a system. With the orbital lines on I found myself coming in at the correct angle and aligning for my approach much better coming out of supercruise.

Wait, you can hit a station while in SC?

Coming out of supercruise.
