Developers want Kill a gameplay

Levris · Jan 14, 2015

Greetings to all pilots. I'm more than a month, and I really like the game. But yesterday there was an event that I can not be considered fair. I'm saving up for a mechts Imerial Clipper bought him expensive equipment and still have some money. Played neatly almost never died for stupid. But because of a bug accidentally crashed in Lacon Type 9, and now I can not get my ship back. On the insurance screen, I have 0 existing loan. The loan for a replacement Imperial Clipper is 460к. My max loan is 200k CR. The ship is 22 million, but due to the fact that not enough what that 200,000 should I start the game again and lose a month, I think it's not fair. Why max loan does not depend on the price of the ship and always 200 thousand?
Lost a month of playing 50 euros and got nothing....
In any online game you can not lose a whole month of work due to a bug, I think it is not fair and not right. The game is pretty hardcore but should not at once destroy the desire to play it again. This is not a real examination of the developers, who does not the gameplay more interesting, and it completely kills.

if it was a bug send a support ticket in. there is a chance they will replace your losses

Well it s all I like in ED. ... You crash may be cause à bug, but you flight à ship you can t cover. May be you are playing since long time, but this is a noob error.

In ED there is a Game over screen ! And I love it !

Altissimus · Jan 14, 2015

You died without insurance?

Congrats! You're the first player ever to have done this!

If it was a bug that caused the loss then as Reaper says report it, you may get it back
But never fly without insurance....number one golden rule
Also the loan is there for new players as a safety net until they get the hang of the game. It is not meant to be enough for the big ships as by the time you are in these you should know better.

Developers are only responsible for the bugs of the game, for the occasional problems with my computer, they can not meet (

<sigh>

Always, always, ALWAYS make sure you have enough money to cover insurance before undocking. Pretty sure the Developers don't want to kill gameplay...

The 'Darwin Effect' this must have on the player base is well worth detailed study - Maybe Braben wants to create a community of Super Gamers?

Shads · Jan 14, 2015

<sigh>....and again......dont fly what you can't afford to lose.

Wedgetail · Jan 14, 2015

Ah yes, the killer Bug that makes people crash into other ships without insurance. When oh when will modern science figure out the cure for this terrible affliction

Me too.

I am actually more than 40.

grae3107 · Jan 14, 2015

It might have been a bug that killed you, but it was not a bug that made you fly without enough for insurance.

Omega Fighter · Jan 14, 2015

Just interested how much money did you have before you died?

Next time dont fly what you cannot afford to lose.

OriginalBadBoy · Jan 14, 2015

How can a bug make you fly into another ship ... Sorry dont really understand that part ...

Then that's your problem, and yours alone.

Next time, make sure you have enough credit to cover the rebuy cost in case you're destroyed before you buy the ship.

TriumphANT · Jan 14, 2015

You can disable upgrades on the insurance screen, and maybe get back to a basic Clipper? Dunno what the base cost is, but think it's around 15M? Always, always, always check your Rebuy Cost on the right panel and make sure you have it. In a Clipper having 500KCr in loose change isn't really that much of an issue. In my Cobra (Rebuy is just over 100KCr), I always fly with at least that in cash. I can go for a loan if I get wiped out twice in a row...

Don't leave the landing pad unless you have ample money to spare. In reality, the game is too easy right now. If you die or eject you should have to clear your save.

If you're complaining about insurance then that means you were stupid, period.

streki · Jan 14, 2015
