My type 9 insta-popped a clipper on Saturday. I did the "oops thats not the landing gear button, thats the boost button" and shot across the station into a Clipper trying to land. My apologies to whoever that was.

hahaha @shads it makes you laugh though first time i got one i couldnt stop laughing so much i was crying.
You can only get 200k maximum as a loan. If you have a Cobra then no problem, if you have an Asp then you would need Alpha level insurance premiums to be able to just about get it.
The loan is paid off at 10% on each transaction profit you make. No time limit.
Yes, its very disheartening when you loose everything. I feel your pain. Ive done it twice now. Forgot to request docking and lost 2.5M and then 2.9M. Both times I sulk quit and returned the next day to make up my losses. I break up my play by having the T7 and a Viper. I spent all weekend looking for pirates who were hiding from me. Then I realised I was looking in anarchy places and theyre all bleeding 'clean' there, so the people i suspected and let go were the damn peeps i was looking for.
If it was easy and there were no dangers then it would be dull.

I'm with you. The fanboys will for sure tell you it's your fault, blah blah blah... But I agree. If this would have been just a freaking offline game you could just go back to your latest save game. But unfortunately we've got this half done beta of a online game that doesn't have any meaningful online features...
IMO the party in a crash who caused the higher damage by being the faster of the two should get a penalty, at least close to a station. In other words pay your fee AND the fee to your victim. If I hit somebody with my car I (or my insurance) usually have to pay for the damaged I've caused. But well, it's 3300 and we can't even record market data but have FTL drives. So much for a believable universe...

I find it amazing how ED brings out the failings in the society of the 20th century - notice how people buying ships and cargo they can't afford to run / replace is very akin to people overstretching themselves on their houses / possessions that they can't really afford to have, and when it comes crashing down, they really suffer!
(Disclaimer - if anyone has got into a bad situation in real life, I am sorry, I'm not trying to flame - everyone in this world is guilty of overstretching - me included!)

right the stupid ship that blocked your path was probably a NPC online or offline that npc still would have been there !!! the real question is why did you even try to go in with a big stupid ship blocking your way? i tell you this i would not want to be a passanger in a car with you

gotta love white knights defending a conpany that cancels promised features it acquired its budget with.
shareholder?
continue defending the trojan horse buddy.
Maybe they'll add multiple save slots in the cash shop that would have been a staple feature for an offline non-DRM game.

Not sure where you are coming from. The OP died and lost a fortune completely on his own behalf, it was him alone failing to follow those few simple rules that exist in that game.
I rejoice every time Elite breaks a man's spirit.
I care. I genuinely care that you're gone.
That people so facile and demanding of instant gratification and no-consequence play are driven away from a game are signs of GOOD design.
When will people learn NOT to embarrass themselves publicly??

i flew my type 9 very close to the limit and had to fly without insurance a few times to get the money cusion up.
all the time i knew i was risking it and had to be very very careful indeed.
i i failed i would have been back in a side winder with my 1000 credits.
but one place i would NOT be is here whining like a little kid about how, the big bad devs stole my money with bad game design.
it's not bad game design, your just being a dolt, man up and try again but this time play properly.

No cash reserved for insurance? Nevermind:

Having read through this thread and shook my head in disbelief at the op two quotes come to mind;
Never argue with a fool; onlookers may not be able to tell the difference
and
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience
Regards

read OPs post, if game would be offline as promised there would be multiple savegame slots like in any damn single player game since 1990, including all other Elite games, but no-- it needs pseudo online one save slot DRM for some absurd reason, wait for savegame slots on the chash shop, it's going to happen! Only 20£ per slot or 1000 Frontiercoins, yippi yeah
