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 :cry:

Which is why my copy of Oolite mass-locks on -anything- large-ish in range, not just ships.

Space Corps Directive #1743

No registered vessel should attempt to transverse an asteroid belt without deflectors.
