Did you have fuel?

Yeah, I had something like a dozen jumps worth of fuel left, because I made sure to keep buying more when I found stores. It was certainly strange.

What if you get the encouter when you have less than 5 hull remaining?

Then that's shitty, but I try not to be sitting on 5 hull anyway.
