Don't fall asleep at the helm or else this happens...

I set my ship to autopilot in the direction of DS9 in the Beta Ursae sector block and alt-tabbed out to watch part of a concert on dvd, and after a really good song had finished, I tabbed back into the game and found myself hundreds of light-years away from the nearest star system.

So yeah, don't leave the helm unattended.

    That is just nuts, man. Only thing like that that has ever happened to be was when I was playing WoW, got a drink and came back to find my character under Stormwind, and upside down.

    I know exactly why God needs a starship. He can't be seen picking up the ladies in his mom's beat up mini-van, now can he? :p

    Let this be a leson to you... don't drink and fly a starship. You may not find your way home. By the way, did you find the home for E.T.? This guy really needs a lift. :D

    Well, at least none of those pictures needed to be captioned:

    Here there be dragons

    :D

    I saw a space-dragon at Earth Dock once. Its name was GM Indigofyre. ^_^

    That can't happen to me... every time I go to my bridge (Caucasus); there's no one sitting at the helm in the first place.

    I didn't encounter God but I felt like I was boldly going alright. Kind of like Voyager trapped out there, and also wondering if I would meet V'ger or some flying space whale tubes.

    Nah, if you were imitating what Janeway did you would wait till your ship was on the verge of a break-down then find an anomoly and say "We need to go in thar to investigate becaws we is explorers!"

    Then attempt to kill everyone on the ship just to fly out of the anomoly and save the day and watch your ego grow and attempt to look like a hero.

    Oh, and somewhere along the way turn into a lizard fish thing and make love with you Pilot and birth catfish just before your crew decided to save you.

    :p

    Next time you are in kerrat do a 180 degree turn when you spawn and head towards the end of the map you will know when you have gone too far. Space turns blue and you are no longer on the map.
