I'm just curious ....is it okay to cry?

That's a tough loss, but you are being real cool about it.

Well there is your problem. All that money and equipment and you haven't learned to pull the trigger. I may not have much but at least I can blow stuff up other than myself.

(somebody take the salt shaker away from me that wound looks fresh)

This is why I store money in ships, have about 30 in total, including maxed out Adders that I never use. If it all goes mammaries up I can salvage a nice chunk of cash to rebuild.

No offense but how does that make any sense ? All those credits could be used on insurance rather then having a lower tier ship.

I'm missing something. Wouldn't it be better to just store money, as money? As far as I know you can't lose money, and you don't take a 10% loss selling ships.

Sorry for you. I nearly did it the other night forgetting to ask for docking clearance until the very last second, only just managed it. I'd have never got out of there in my T9 before the station killed me. Endless trade runs dulls the senses, I start to get distracted and lose focus. You'll come back, you still have your rep in the places you traded + you have all of that knowledge.

Because if I have the money in my account I can spend it, have done it before, blown 50 mill on a ship or 7 mill on cargo. Storing cash in ships works as a virtual savings account. It's there if I need it but as a backup. you guy' are probably more disciplined!

The sidewinder is the best ship anyway.

Think of it this way, billions of years in the future your frozen, crystallized tears will float through space like tiny diamonds enrapturing some alien race that may detect them.

It's OK to cry. In space no one will hear your sobs!

That's actually a really nice thought

This will make you feel better.

It's always okay to cry if that's how you feel.

PiLhEaD · Jan 21, 2015

Ouch! (and yes it's okay to cry...)

Fully upgraded Imperial Clipper

That would be 120 millions in fittings alone, even if 30 million is all on clipper, thats nowhere near fully upgraded!!!!!!

What, you lost it? I'll show myself out...

The number that do not add up for me, is having 11 visits to the insurance office, yet still manage over-spend.

And yes, I am one of those cautious players as well, I salt down profits in ships. So should worst come to worst, like say I'm tired and/or drunk one night and disaster strikes, I can very quickly get back on track. Downside naturally, is that it takes longer to get to the next ship up the ladder.

For what it is worth though, my sympathies to the OP.

Murderer!

You've probably killed more people than I have since release in that one incident. Each can is like ten people, depending on how you pack them.

LOL I was already cracking up at the hug, then the baby's snot and then this. HA

BTW sorry to the op...always sad

Aww, this game -does- live up to it's name, it's merciless to the uncareful. I wager I've not shed my last tear

Oh my, Uhm, you're definatly correct on calling me out on that. I had all the Upgrades I wanted I meant (A Class hyperdrive, mostly D Class everything else for Maximum jump range

It's good advice to have a few ships in spare. I had an upgraded Hauler (cute lil' ship) and a Viper, sold both so I could buy cargo.
As a result (after a few trade-runs already) I can afford 42 tonnes of Beryllium in my new Cobra (=> 50 000 for a quick jump = good?)
