Hmm. Just got my first death. Went on a rescue mission on a sovereign ship, with the "Ghost" clause. I used my key cloner, sidewinder, and stealth shield to bypass the whole ship, with the guards only getting brief glances of me before I either teleported away or turned on stealth. I got to the target without harming anyone or being seen, and pick them up.
Then I realize that I have to get back out. I'm out of sidewinders, you can't use the stealth shield while carrying someone, and there's a whole ship of unharmed guards between me and the exit. However, there IS a window right next to the target room. But because I'm on a STEALTH mission, I didn't have any weapons to break the window with. Without any other options, I decided to pilot my pod and ram it into the window, which would hopefully break it and suck me and my target into space? Instead, this let the ship detect my pod, which immediately got shot point-blank by missiles.
This destroyed my pod. So at this point I just decide that I should get back to the airlock and jump directly into space, which if I'm absurdly lucky will cause me to fly into a station. I somehow manage to get myself and the target back to the airlock without getting shot, though voiding the Ghost clause in the process, and fling myself into space. At this point some hilarious commentary appeared at the bottom of the screen, saying "Well, this doesn't look good."
