I suffered the SRV destruction bug.
AGAIN!!! :mad::mad::mad:
Right in front of Akira and Anuranium at WP06. I spent 7 hours in total today catching up and got to WP06 just after midnight. Less than 3 minutes after deploying one of my RESTOCKED SRVs... I clip a stone, flipped up and BAM before I even touch the floor!!! :mad:

Annoyance is too mild to describe my emotion right now.
So, to hell with this. That's it. I'm out. I've already self-destructed and used 3 premium jumponium to get back to Shinrarta Dezhra tonight.
I will NOT be rejoining you all.

Good luck everyone, and fly safe! o7

Zenith, over and out from DW.

Sorry to hear that Zenith :(

As others have said, I would definitely contact game support about this again and ask them to put you back with the fleet once you've restocked your SRVs. This bug is a PITA, I'm surprised it wasn't fixed in the last two patches, but maybe its a tough one for them to nail down.

I hardly do any SRV exploring on DW at the moment because of it :/

Yep, watching his twitch video before it was deleted he took off in a Cobra. No idea where he is going.

He's attempting to break his own Sidewinder distance record.


Sad to hear someone sniped his one and only tagged world at Rendezvous Point :/

He also tagged his furthest system, I watched him when he turned around. I wonder if he got those tags? The video of it was on youtube for a long time but disappeared.

I know who tagged his Rendezvous Point world since I have access to the system data having been there. I guess there's nothing that can be done now.

Same player tagged both? :(

this has mainly been happening in open with CMDR's getting attacked around SagA, this tends to be CMDR's who have been deliberately interdicted and destroyed rather than the odd mis-firing.

I'll predicate this by saying I've been playing in Solo and now Mobius. I have never liked PVP in any game. I always have an underspecced pc and my internet is a bit of wet spaghetti strung across gum trees. But...

I know a few people who LOVE it. Just as explorers discuss their furthest distance out or how many ELW's they have been lucky enough to see, I know some of them would think, "what's the record for a player kill furthest from Sol?" or "how many explorer's have I killed at Sag A?"

It's not my thing, but having just jonked back from Sag A (which I visited in Solo - not even trusting Mobius), I think dragging a tooled up death machine all the way out there show's some level of dedication to their job.

Easy to roleplay too... a bizarre cult worships Sag A and doesn't want infidels looking at the face of god.

It keeps me occupied until my next expedition.

Maybe you'll be knocking off the holy consecrated assassins of the Our Lord Sagittarius. :D

I trust all those in Kamzel.

I'm with Jackie Silver on that one.

PS. You know the fleet flagship full of goodies, and everyone else who's listed off their inventory of tons of rare goods.
I wonder who holds the record for the armed robbery furthest from Sol? ;)

Seriously though, fly safe distant worlders.

R4 only tagged one world, the one we met at. That's the only one that mattered and all explorers who subsequently visited Rendezvous Point respected that and left it alone.

He finally made it home yesterday and found out someone else did indeed snipe it. No matter, he got the glory of being the first to fly a Sidewinder across the galaxy and back, and the videos at Rendezvous Point as mementos.

Bummer, must be very frustrating for him :(. But I can't believe it was deliberately "sniped", more likely a case of not realising or the CMDR assuming that r4 was never coming home. It's been very nearly a year since your meeting after all and memory fades, eg your meeting was actually at the first planet which you tagged & r4 then tagged the second one. (no my memory isn't that good, I checked the video to make sure I wasn't the offending CMDR!!)

Yeah, sniped was probably the wrong word. I don't think it was deliberate considering it was from a well known, respected, and experienced explorer off this forum. Just unfortunate timing from both involved, R4 has been slow getting home after all - 13 months!

There is a planet less than 14 Ls from its star. A bit of a trek to get there at 258000 Ls and unfortunately not landable, but the pictures are great.

First one back to sell, gets the tag. All other considerations are irrelevant.

For better or worse, that is the way that it has been programmed so we must accept it. But it is interesting to consider how else it might have been done.

One option would be to allow CMDRs to add notations to systems. In this sort of scenario, Erimus & r4 could have left notes as to the significance of the system and what they had scanned. Future explorers would be free to go along with or ignore their suggestions but - in this particular case - r4's scan would likely have been reinforced because a few of us who later visited the system knew & respected the significance. There are those who would deliberately try to exploit such messages but they are the maladjusted (very small) minority.

An alternative would be to allow for multiple scenarios. eg each body could have a "first discovered by" tag which would only require the use of a discovery scanner, a "first scanned by" tag which would record the first CMDR to surface scan the body and a "first reported by" tag which went to the first CMDR to surface scan & sell the data. In this sort of scenario, no matter what happened afterwards, r4 would retain the "first scanned" tag.

This is the sort of thing that could have been thought of ahead of time, but I'm struggling to think of real world exploring examples which would support such an approach. A really good one would have been if Amunden's party had perished on the the return from the South Pole rather than Scott's. If that had been the case then I have little doubt that history would record Amundsen as the first to reach the SP (Scott was an honourable man and would have reported the evidence that Amundsen left) but Scott would also have been lauded for being the one to successfully return. Such a scenario would have set a precedent for joint discovery that ED would have almost certainly followed.

Could you pop the system name up? I've been out there and I'd be horrified to find out it was me.
