There's your ship, now learn to fly, part 1.

Truly Dangerous, the outer space. After the Pilot Federation gave me a Sidewinder to fly, at first I had no troubles outside the tightly controlled Pilots Practice Space. True, I've not read much of the specs as I thought there would always be some station nearby to get in to do the necessary repairs. I even flew a bit with totally messed up fire groups. Since the first short round trip (including a message delivery to Katzenstein), I decided to see the black and visited the edge of the bubble at a couple of locations, outside Kupana, to see the Galaxy - it does look Big. Scary large. At least for a Sidewinder. At this point I had already had a couple of nasty encounters with stars, a White Dwarf and a Close Binary, so decided to head back to the inner systems. After a while in space you get inattentive. Almost blew up my ship twice yesterday for the heat (due a white dwarf radiation cone and a misadjustment during normal fuel scoop, but luckily managed to get to stations with repair shops. Thank you, people at Anderson Colony, to live so near a white dwarf is a wonder to me. Lost cargo, though. Add 6 interdictions in Anarchy, undefined and Low-security systems along the way (escaped 5/6, so general flying starts to be where it should be), I had a handful to do.
And now here in Galactic Web (Inara) I see this, it looks like I was more lucky than I thought.

PS. Looks like the automated clock in the message system has a bit wrong date.
