Because I'm weird and a nerd, i always log off somewhere picturesque

Always orbiting a nice planet somewhere.
Oh and shut down every module except for Life Support to let the ol' girl cool off and watch the ice forming around the edge of the window. Listen to the planet etc.etc.
Settling down like that is quite serene.
... I need to go exploring again soon

Just a bit of a hint because it's caught out a few others.
DO NOT... EVER, log out in an asteroid belt or planetary ring... Even when you're logged off the belt/asteroids still move and rotate, so the chance of you logging back in and your ship spawns inside of an asteroid (leading to a magnificent explosion and a buy-back screen) is pretty damned high...
Haven't done it myself, but there are many many stories of this.
