Yes, I’m writing a quick post which probably isn’t going to be all that useful to you, as it’s not a guide about how to do anything. It’s just a list I spent ten minutes writing of things you “don’t simply do”.

1. One does not simply try to dock a max-tuned Discoverer at 10X SETA at a Paranid station.



2. One does not simply try to dock a max-tuned Discoverer with anything.



3. One does not simply have more than a one max-tuned Discoverers follow your large hauling ship, especially while undocking.



4. One does not simply try to autodock with an asteroid mine while pirates are shooting missile barrages at you.



5. One does not simply go through gates on the borders of pirate sectors and sectors with military bases.
