Usually I do too, but I had never got anything good before. (It was my third or so game, and I actually had not learned how to save...

I never knew how to play until I cheated, I had Colonel but I didn't know what to do past that and wondered aimlessly and continuously did Korolov

I couldn't find the stargate out of charon so I stayed there and got blasted repeatedly.

Another stupid death i had was I was attacked by Charon gunships after I had destroyed their base and was low on health. I couldn't find a friendly station so I sat on the sun, thinking my new solar panel I had bought would keep my fuel up. I set it on auto pilot to let see if maybe some friendly ship would come and kill them or something. I went to get a drink, came back and saw I had forgotten to install the solar panel and had maybe ten seconds of fuel left.

I updated my first post on this topic by the way because I thought of a stupider death.

The gate out of charon should always be with that outermost cluster of planets (I think there are three closely clustered planets?)

It was my first time ever playing the game. I got shot whenever I went towards those planets (It has either 3 or 4, 60% it has 4) I thought it was in the asteroids... bad move.

Another stupid death I just had while testing one of my mods through the whole otherwise vanilla game was I was low on fuel, I had enough fuel in my hold to keep going, but I hate using it for non-emergencies, and the bar was still green. I opened an abandoned cargo crate, which informed my a solvent had dissolved my fuel. I promptly ran out of fuel and died :roll:

I alwase dump my cargo hold first, then check crates, then pick eveything back up once its all secure.

I know. :) I have a hunch he some how got one of those blue gems - I forgot the name but those things kept messing me up early game as well. And you can't exactly go back either.

Gem of Despair, I think.

They warp you to Elysium, similiar to the Jumpdrive/Stargate trick.

I used one of these the first times I played the game, went straight to Heretic and got blown to smithereens.... XD
