So to offer a 57 million credit ship for just over 51 million then charge you the 57 million leaving you with no credits to safely work it is constructive to game play is it sunshine.
Not a one man crusade more a one woman crusade so don't make gender assumptions.
It has nothing to do with the amount of time the Devs have been back at work it has to do with M.B. 's answer to others who have also asked about the discount being refunded.
Just to educate you, as you don't seem to be able to follow the full reasoning behind these complaints, after offering a discounted price at Jameson Memorial when you press buy you were charged the full price which you didn't know would happen until you paid out. M.B. has stated here there are no plans to give those that were cheated by a faulty game system the difference between what the offer for the ship was and what was actually paid. It is only game credits but those credits represent many hours of game play.
So how about you save your breath and stop criticizing those of us looking for a proper resolution to the problem. Which is a refund of the failed discount.
I would suspect that after the "Founder World Exploit" where people were buying modules and selling them at a profit elsewhere, FD have double and triple checked the implications of modifying the ship price, and that whatever the buy/sell prices of those ships are, it is entirely what is intended, and both non-exploitable, and non-punishing.
I'd be very disappointed at anything other than that to be honest.

Where was it stated please? Daisy. Oh yes and if it was a bug then how simple would it have been just to withdraw all ships from sale at Jameson until it was fixed. Instead of allowing players to drift in unaware and get cheated.

Got the game running as of last night. played about 8 hours of lots of fun. With the patch, Combat demo runs, but not the main game.
Surprising, and a little frustrating.
Surprising, and a little frustrating.
I suspect that if you are leaving yourself with 'no credits to safely work' when charged 5.7 mil more than you expected for a 57 mil ship, then you were setting yourself up for trouble in the first place - I wouldn't even consider buying a ship unless I had double the asking price, so I could afford to even think about dropping half-decent modules into it.

I stopped reading here. In my experience it goes downhill once something like gender gets needlessly involved.
But good luck with your intentions. Might I suggest a more helpful attitude and maybe fine tuning your vocabulary a bit - cheating and disrespectful somehow does not feel appropriate

No. Discount was on equipment. Nicely extended to ships now. What more?

You obviously don't work in coding if you think any rollback is simple
I think the word rollback is better suited with restore, but yes restores cause other issues that need to be consider.
I just wish they state the size of the patch while on the update console would be nice.
Keep up the good work FD's
Thanks for mentioning this, I had wondered what happened to that. I didn't see it at the time because I now realise that his announcement was placed in the Support forum rather than the News and Updates forum (for "News and Announcements") that I had been keeping an eye on and where it has been announced in advance
Perhaps when something that is relevant across forums, a thread could be created in both with one hyperlinking to the main one?
Cheers for the continued support,
Sparkie
Somewhere on the forums. Unfortunately I don't archive the URL to every post I ever read, so I'd need to search for it.
I'm sure you're equally able to use the search tool, and given that you are the one who wants to know, I'll let you do the donkey work.
-- Pete.
So what if there is a bug with selling ships bought at Founders World and we get robbed twice. Should we just suck it up this time around too? How much robbing does it take for you to not just say "suck it up"?
You are not aloud to do that
I sure believe it feels like silence, but in all honesty, have you seen how many answers Michael Brookes gives out every day? Sometimes there is just a minute between two posts...
People need to calm down a little. Even if the devs don't explain every little part of what they are working on right now in detail, they still give more feedback than the average forum user might be aware of.
Just look at Michaels profile and click at "recent posts". It looks like he is trying to answer as many questions as he can (even though - sadly - mine are not among those that get considered for a response
).I see so you make a statement quoting an unfounded source then expect me to find it for you. Sorry I don't think so.
Some people like risk I guess
I admit I did it once or twice & it paid off for me but if you stuff up you have to take in the chin.
Are the coms issues fixed?
Well, wouldn't you know - I had already repented, and went looking before you even posted that...

Not sure what else there is, I've got better things to do than other people's research, and besides, that fact remains that the price paid was as intended before, and as you paid what FD intended for you to pay then there's no reason to refund it.
-- Pete.
Edit:
And several days ago, it was stated that this change would be coming in this exact way:

And that retroactive discounts would not be applied:
