Well, you probably already know this, but always make sure you have money left over for 2 insurance re-buys and 2 holds full of cargo (if you're a trader) before purchasing a new ship.
I do feel for you, but at the same time...... stupid stupid stupid!
Just remember, this game is brutal and merciless and will stick it to you when you least expect it.
When I finally had the cash to buy my Anaconda, I flew off to Shinrata in my T9 to make my purchase. It was the culmination of weeks and months of playing since late beta. I dabbled in other activities here and there, such as exploration and a bit of light combat, but most of my time was spent trading. I get to about 20mm away from Jameson Memorial; I am now literally about 2 minutes away from buying the Anaconda, it will be the crowning achievement for the hours and hours of work I've put in trading. I get interdicted by a Deadly ranked Asp and about a minute later my T9 is a smoking pile of space debris. Talk about a slap to the face.
This game is brutal, it does not care about you.
