If you have 1 million credits to spare and fuel scoops, you may consider deploying the PandoraWeapon, found in the KillIt(TM) OXP. The catch: You commit one single quick act of violence in the name of peace and galactic tourism. Launch with the weapon on board, wipe out life in the entire galaxy, then feel free to roam the universe, assured that you will never find anyone to fight against. 8)
There is a catch, however: You are also assured that you will never find anyone to sell narcotics to. :twisted:

Hmm, the PandoraWeapon. Not made of Sapient Pearwood and endowed with hundreds of tiny little legs, is it?
:shock:
Ook!
You really want to know what's gonna happen, Ambassador? Boom. Boom boom. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. BOOM!

I did, but had trouble thinking of a snappy comeback.. :lol:
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied
