Space is hard.
Decided to find a quick mission last night before dinner, then finish it up just before bed. Just a simple cargo run. Deliver 4 units of beer. Easy, right? Plotted a course with 3 jumps to the system that had the beer, landed & bought the beer before logging off. Logged back on just after eleven o'clock, figured I'd take the cargo back & reap the rewards. Oh, hey, a destination change , still 3 jumps & an increase in pay. Two jumps down, it drops me by the star, I scoop some fuel, then at 60% heat it does an emergency stop. "Taking heat damage." No biggie, been there, done that already, lived to tell the tale & repaired at the next station. Then, my blood runs cold as I see the message in the upper-right of my hud, "Cargo hold damaged. Jettisoning cargo." Aaaaand I've wasted 2 hours.
Play Elite: Dangerous they said. Explore the vast expanse of space they said. It'll be fun they said. Why are you sobbing on the floor they said....
I love this game.
