Getting killed for no reason?

Hello. I am new to this series of games and seem to be having an issue I am hoping someone can help me solve.

On the way to a waypoint for a mission my ship seems to stop and it looks like its going backwards. The waypoint numbers also start going up. Then... I blow up. I am no where near a station and no NPC's are around me. Any ideas? Am i hitting a button wrong by accident or....?

sounds like you accidentally hit inertial mode (space bar), as for the blowing up could be any number of things like hitting an object like asteroid, going to close to sun, getting to close to blackhole, the list goes on and on.

Hi Tim4498. Welcome to the game and forum. You might have also activated the self destruct countdown by hitting F7 by accident. If you see red numbers on your HUD counting down then this is the case. To undo the countdown just hit F7 again........
