The big ship got pulled away in a vortex so was nearly out of fuel. It ran to the nearest star and waited for the fast shuttle to meet it there and bring it more.
I've been trying to get into SE, but fuck me is it hard. I made it up to space and my first two planets, but it's a hell of a lot to manage. I've taken a break from it. Hopefully I can get back into it after some time.
Yeah, my first one didn't go well. I thought "oh, I'll be off planet soon so no need to scale out home planet". I was quite wrong. I also made my orbit base disorganized and that was a disaster.
My next go was much better.
