Please add a "Reset to station" button in PDA for training sector.
Simply because its very easy for an Android newb to find the game, start it, launch into space, and then have to put the phone/tablet away (might happen on PC too). When they get back, sometimes hours later, they are miles away from the station, and then start chirping stuff like this.

[12/14/11 18:37:40] [100] <yodaofborg> What device you using?
[12/14/11 18:38:00] [100] <robo_hobo31> lg g2x
[12/14/11 18:38:07] [100] <yodaofborg> Get a keyboard (what? it's good advice :P)
[12/14/11 18:40:54] [100] <robo_hobo31> i cant find anything on radar im out in the middle of nowhere. how do i play this game? help please
[12/14/11 18:41:34] [100] <yodaofborg> robo, have you been floating in space for a while?
[12/14/11 18:41:43] [100] <robo_hobo31> yes
The only advice I can give at this point is either a) fly back to the station for 30+ mins (come on, its an 8 hour trial, they are gunna just quit) b) start over. SOme might do a) some might do b) but more likely they are just going to press hme, and hit ATK, never to see VO again.
While a player is in the training sector, they should have a way to teleport back to station via PDA/Mission, if thats too hard, make it possible for them to /explode, remove the countdown, and make it not count towards death count. Yeah yeah, you don't like unexplained magic, but it could be very easily RP bull shitted away if I gave myself 15 mins to think it up.

good idea from Yoda of all people

iirc /explode doesn't even work in the training sector anymore which really sucks for newbies in this situation...
Yes, this has been on my list for awhile, thanks for reminding me. We'll take a look.
This has been added to the last update. When a new player goes more than 10km (will be tweaked over time) from the center of the sector, they are prompted with a dialog that tells them they went too far and that clicking 'OK' will auto-dock them to the station.
