The Veure MMORPG Saga Continues

I'm doing heater runs in Taungoo Station when someone tells me about a problem in Nouveau Limoges, another station in the Sol System. I mosey on down to the port, hop in Serenity, my corvette class spaceship (with some "quiet" modifications), and launch. Serenity's an older ship and she higher maintenance than I would like, but she keeps flying and that's good enough for me.

A little over 7 segments later (a long, boring flight), I arrive at Nouveau Limoges. And that's when the trouble kicks in. You see, I'm a Consortium citizen, but Nouveau Limoges is a Gaul station and I forgot to renew my visa. Immigration computers notice my status and I get auto-deported back to the station I came from: except I am still on Serenity and she doesn't have enough anti-matter reserves to make the flight back. An HTTP redirect loop ensues and ...

I found that bug hilarious and it will be fun to resolve. Sadly, it probably won't be me who fixes it, even though I want to dig in.
