Just got back from work, left game on SETA to allow my PSG factory to build
Turn off SETA, as im managing wares on my factory, this.
I was in a fully shielded oddy as well.

Tut, tut! Unattended SETA in a big ship left anywhere that another big ship could possibly want to go!

Those megalodons really are massive, VERY impractical!
I also forgot to save after i got back so i lost about 5 hours of PSG production, or around 10 PSGS

I want to lay waste to yaki sectors already!

So true and painful - and I do feel for you.

Mind you, it does almost say to you 'Should have got a Megalodon instead!'

When i want to leave SETA on for a while, i always go to an unknown sector and let the ship fly into the distance. Only once i forgot to refuel, so i could not make even an in-sector jump and had to go back ~ 2500 km.

AGAIN, OH MY GOD.
This one was kind of my fault, i directed my megalodon to 'jump to me'

Well at least it's slightly less embarrassing than the old 'accelerate into asteroid' manoeuvre, or the now harder to do, get 'smashed by towed asteroid' trick.

When I stop laughing, I'm sure I'll have something sympathetic to post...

Err ... try not committing suicide by parking in the truck lane maybe?

Park far out of the ecliptic plane, away from any traffic lanes, before you use SETA for an extended period of time. A couple of M6s on "Protect Me" orders will take care of any Khaak that may spawn. (They like spawning far outside the ecliptic.)

I usually do this, 60km behind the gate, the annoying police scans turn off seta.
This time i was too lazy to fly out in my oddy and figured i would be safe.

The lesson here is, obey the Law of Gross Tonnage. A Meg can't stop on a dime.

That's a better self-inflicted death than the time I station-bombed myself.

I would laugh at you for that StarSword...except for the fact that I've done that too.

Try 35 Km above or below the loest / highest gate amd you will be safe as they only spawn and travel inbetween 25 km above or below gates.

Also 10 hours is nothing compaired to loosing monthsof game play. Try a DiD game ad you'll be crying even more I'll bet.

Fool me once...

I once made a similar mistake to your second one, except while on an EVA and with the "Collect Astronauts" command.

Simoom · Post by **Simoom** » Fri, 29. Mar 13, 01:35

I always move away (sideways) from the gate before telling a ship to "Jump to Me".

I do it even for smaller ships that I call to me, because I know how poorly the game sometimes handle jump gate requests. I've been rear-ended way too many times in X3: Reunion - I think they improved the issue in TC and AP, but it's become a habit at this point (and a good one at that)
