Ah, the day when ambition and emotion collided in a... peculiar outcome. After hours of grueling mining, with my Cutter fully loaded with Low Temperature Diamonds (LTD)—the final haul before I could finally buy my dream Fleet Carrier—I was over the moon. The sense of accomplishment was palpable. As I approached the station, thrilled with my success, I requested docking, zeroed my speed, and, without even waiting for the autopilot to engage, switched to camera mode to immortalize this epic moment. After all, it was the culmination of a dream!
But, as they say, haste makes waste. While I was busy adjusting the angles for the perfect shot, I realized something terrible: the autodock wasn’t activated. My majestic Cutter, brimming with riches, began to drift slowly toward the station. I tried to regain control, but it was too late. The impact was inevitable. In slow motion, I watched my glorious ship collide with the station’s structure, followed by a spectacular (and expensive) explosion.
Moral of the story: even in the most epic moments, never underestimate the power of a forgotten button. And, of course, always double-check if autodock is on before turning into a space photographer!
