Grmbl...
I witchspaced to Tianve, set my compass to the station beacon, focused on the blinking dot I found and went to jumpspeed.
Then I studied the price list when I saw a white dot approaching fast on the radar.
Switching to frontal view I could only witness the last few frames before the asteroid hit me, way before I had my fingers on the cursor keys...
Press space to continue.
What a sad and stupid death for a pilot who went from 11 to 76 kills in one trip

Space Corps Directive #1743
No registered vessel should attempt to transverse an asteroid belt without deflectors.
