First game, first stupid death. I was doing quite well, I thought, with my random character (researcher, light explorer), making my way through sectors 0-2 learning how things work, and how to manage risk. Exploring some planets where there were mainly bunnies and a few carnivorous plants. Feeling very safe and using my captain on away missions. On my way back to the landing craft for air, I try to avoid poison plants but run into one.
Me: "Ok, I'll just stomp it a few times..."
Game: "Achievement unlocked: You should have listened to Riker."

Wow, I let my caution down briefly and bam! Ok, cool. Time for a new captain...
