Engineers News letter update, all the money lost due to insurance in 2.1 being reimbursed.

I appreciate the Pilot's Federation's actions in this case. Although my ship wasn't lost, 3 of my wing mates weren't as lucky. All are excellent pilots. I was winged with one (who happens to be my wife heh) when the illegal weapons ripped through her clipper. Nothin either of us could do. She wasn't very happy when I returned to pick up her escape pod. This should improve her mood [big grin]
 
/me smacks forehead......
They simply restored the credit database from a while ago. I actually LOST the 20M I had made in the time 2.1 dropped. I am back down to the same amount I have before 2.1 dropped. Great first they nerf the AI back to complete potato land, THEN they take the credits I earned fighting decent AI. I guess I will go and pop a bunch of them in a HazRez to make up for it.

Maybe I will go and pop newbies in LHS3447 for lulz since the AI is no challenge anymore, like some lame ass was threatening doing if they didn't nerf the AI.

Am I the only one who wants to see the support emails crying about losing stuff?
I lost stuff, I knew why, I got over it and adapted.
But there must have been a lot of tears for this kinda reaction.
I fear for gaming...oh, and humanity as well, though I don't know why.

i would take a deep breath, not rage murder newbies and file a request for reimbursement bug. From my own xp I can confirm they didn't just roll back to an older time stamp for your credit balance.

I kept all the earnings I made in the two days since coming back to ED with 2.1 but got added today ~22 million reimbursement which sounds about right for my Python x 2, and Asp x 2 deaths since starting 2.1.

if you indeed lost your earned income, that's obviously an isolated bug which would certainly be reimbursed. Just gotta report it
 
Stacking missions stacks NPCs?

Today I took 5 go-fetch missions all to the same place, because they were available at the same time.
No sooner had I jumped out of system with the goods on the way back than I got interdicted, I lost the evasion and started to fight a FDL, then another appeared and a few seconds later another.
Trying to run (predictably) failed and my atoms were scattered across the cosmos. Ho Hum.

Just unlucky I thought, so bought more goods and tried to return home once more.

This time I got interdicted in the same place, after first jump, but only one FDL and I managed to win, but as I went to supercruise after collecting materials from the wreck, I was interdicted again.
This time I managed to evade but was immediately interdicted again by a FAS which I was totally unable to get into my sights no matter what I did he stayed stuck behind me, so he slowly whittled my hull away and I was now down 2 A-rated Pythons.

I've never noticed this in Elite before, is it just me or is this another "improvement" of the AI, in that it stacks interdictions according to how many missions you take?
I mean, it was like the NPCs were queuing up to take a pop at me!, no recovery time allowed.

Don't care about the money, I am rolling in credits. I care about the nerf to the AI. It was fun, now its boring. Instead of newbies maybe I will hunt traders and murder them, since it was mostly the traders whining about the AI.
 
Imagine, if you will, multi-cannon turrets that fire rail gun-like rounds... I was on the receiving end of that particular flavor of shenanigans... It is NOT a fun place to be!
 
But can I get my 105k back from being forced to buy a meta-alloy for an Engineer because the devs broke the barnacles?







:p
 
Well I guess if you died you are getting a bunch of money back, me on the other hand no money since I didn't actually die.

I died once in my Python. I dont mind getting my 3.5 Million back, though at this point it is a sum that I would barely notice.

I am still waiting on a legitimate response on my support ticket instead of the copy/paste nonsense I've received. Loosing a 200ish mil Anaconda to AI hax is nothing to sneeze at.
