I can beat that...if "beat" is the proper word to use...first time I ever left Manila at warp speed I collided with something...a chunk of rock...a ship.. who knows? I felt very very foolish indeed.
Especially so... considering my vast experience, stature and standing in subsim history...
You at least have the consolation of departing under honorable wartime circumstances...
...nobody has ever been able to court lady luck for very long....and
always win her favor....
