Not at all. Except - I didn't read your post early enough ;-)

Rakapila? OMG - you should have told me earlier. I found myself stranded 
there couple of hours ago in my petty Sidewinder, and decided to restart 
from scratch; for some reasons, it seems an all-empty Sidewinder can 
just about make it /in/ to Rakapila but not /back/ - and there's not 
much profit to be made there to upgrade to a ship with more jump range.

I'm currently making cargo runs between Ovid and... uh, dunno, that 
neighboring system beginning with O... hauling fish and crop harvesters.

Sounds awful. I'm experiencing glitches now and again, but overall 
gameplay is fine.

You don't play /any/ PC games with joysticks...

... except for (air and space) flight simulations, which you absolutely, 
positively /never/ play without.
