I know, I know, it's just the way he worded it
By the way, when you respawn in a sidewinder, don't you get an option to respawn in the station you originaly started?

+1 for the outfitting to be there for a few of the starter systems, great idea I think.

Git gud at reading dude!!
The smugness in this thread is off the charts. Look how self satisfied everyone is! Sorry for your loss and subsequent unnecessary additional headache OP.
I haven't been foolish enough to find out
Indeed. The op came in with an excellent attitude and did not play the victim. He stated his circumstance and took it on the chin. Good on you him for keeping things in perspective. Shame about some of the responses to him.
All I have to say, OP, is: "Ouch."
Good luck building back up my friend. Let me know if you need any help, I could arrange to drop off some Painite or similar

Lol I read it all. I can't believe how many replies are just first sentence snarky replies.
on the OP topic. Yea that's effed up for new players. I think FD should step in if that's what's happening in a starter station.
Same. Will be happy to help. OP, my commander name is same as forum one.All I have to say, OP, is: "Ouch."

It's not about reading, it's about me thinking that I actually started somewhere else than lhs 3447
Make that three. I was just trolling the OP because I remembered him defending stupid stuff Frontier did in the past.
Oh come now, Obnoxious, don't be so coy; you were just trying to live up to your forum name
All Horizons owners now all respawn at that particular station. I've been blown up enough times (especially during the 2.1 super AI) that I've been keeping track. This leads me to believe that all new players these days with Horizons start at that station. (And I checked. My Freewinder came with an SRV.)
I don't use the latest and greatest mainstream credit farming techniques so that Anaconda was 8 months in the making of building up ships, trading in, and building up again. I was proud of that. I scraped and played the game rather then take the easy money. And even now I still would refuse to run Southis and Ceol just to get another one.
I fought, scraped, and leaned.
I plotted and planned. I'm not upset about losing the Conda because I had contingency plans in place. No it didn't get me millions of credits over night but it did let me build a second ship I could afford to lose. I needed to get to that second ship but a stock sidewinder wasn't able to make the trip. I was temporarily down but not completely back to square one.
Once more. I lost the Conda because I was doing a Passangers mission. I had just reached the final beacon and was in the middle of trying to open the Galaxy map. It's been sluggish about opening since 2.1. While I was waiting for it to open. An Expert Rated NPC Anaconda Pirate dropped in and demanded cargo. I was carrying some for another mission I had at the same time.
Unfortunately the game for me was locked up still waiting for the Galaxy map to open meaning I could nether drop the cargo, run, or defend myself as the game was nonresponsive. The NPC was already opening fire and buring through my stock shields before the map finally opened.
When I could finally close it I was 50% and falling rapidly. I tried to run but stock engines weren't made to outrun Expert NPCs. I made a valiant effort but accepted the inevitable loss.
If I could have responded instantly. I could have been spoolling up and gone by the time he started tagging me.
But a loss is a loss and I had a Vulture on standby.
Except the Freewinder couldn't for some reason jump to where the Vulture was. Route planner kept returning "No Solution". Figured it was another case of stock part couldn't make a jump and went to upgrade the FSD.
Yet I couldn't.
New feature. Station will red out services and straight up tell you Unknown Artifact Interference meaning the station is clearly UA bombed. No reason to be out here with Unknown Artifacts since this is where players start and respawn in now.
Unless griefing new players by making stations unusable was the intent. And we all know there are people who really do want to see Elite burn. *Cold Stare toward topic*
Enough with the Anaconda. I only talked about that because it's only relevance is how I ended up back there to know and bring this up. Otherwise I don't care. I'll get another one and I still will be getting it MY way.
You should be more concerned that people are trying to ruin people's first experience of the game. That might possibly be a valid "Game is Dying!" Claim. At least we as a player base can fix it so people can refuel and reload. Two things that can ruin a new player's day.
I can fix losing a Conda. I can't fix a first impression.
OP:
Sorry for all the negatives comments on here, it's rather unfortunate your main point is barely being acknowledged.
I don't need to reinforce the fact you shouldn't fly without insurance, as a lot of people have stated the fact repeatedly.
I'm no expert at the game, that's for sure. If I was to come across an Expert Conda, I'd get blown to shreds. Perhaps drop a ticket in, explain the situation and make a suggestion to giving the starting systems a free-pass to the BGS system.
Also, if you need a hand getting back on your feet or simply want to wing up and take out some frustrations, swing me a PM. It sucks you lost your Conda, that's for sure, but that isn't why you are here. Starting systems shouldn't be attacked by clowns wanting to troll the new player base. We need those players, and it's simply making it harder for ED to be appreciated for what it really is. So I see your point.
Fly safe, Commander. o7

Read the post, all of it. Just got hung up a bit on that part about being stuck in the map loading.
Loading times seem terrible all around, so I'm inclined to say Bug Report this and hope for a little Support Kindness.
As for the ats...
Perhaps the best solution would be prevention - remove the option to sell UA's at starter stations. Other stations in the same systems, sure, but not the starter stations. Problem resolved, recurrence prevented.

You should file a ticket. If not for the Conda, then for the impossible situation you and every new player ended up in.

I often see posts that include the phrase 'reading comprehension' meaning that the person being refered to hasn't understood the post in question.
In reference to the responses to the OP I'd like to use it, but with a little twist.
Reading.
.....
Comprehension.
It helps to do this before engaging, because then at least you are talking about the same thing

I intend to raise as much hell through every channel to Frontier I can find as I can about the starter stations being shut down. Galaxy is Dangerous enough even with the station services available. The loss of the Conda proves that.
