Bonus info; the evac missions counts as "Trade" - which is weird since normal passenger missions counts as "Exploration" - but I'll take it - gladly!
Didn't cash in my 10b war bonds yet. I started late, a week or two before the sol invasion.

Now I go like this - and there is literally no risk at all;
* landing gear
* silent running
* up and away
* choose a direction away from most goids
* boost, boost boost
* when heat is at 98% or close, pop a sink
* jump as soon as I can
* pop sinks until I'm out

How about retracting the landing gear and boosting too soon after takeoff and crash-sliding the entire length of a carrier? 😅
