Somewhere in this OP there is a problem, I failed to spot it.
Oh COME ON. Lost 43M Credits to a simple misunderstanding...
- Thread starter TheoJones
- Start date
Well, this thread took an interesting turn...
Well someone has got a bit eggy - hoping that I die and #ignoring me, I'm not sure which one is worse
With any luck I'll be able to sleep tonight knowing that the op won't be able to read my posts... when I've finished crying.

I don't let it bother me.
Aye, because you have bought a private jet in real life, haven't you mate? [haha]
now watch, as I make a big show of ignoring and calling out... you!
Pretty sure this is in the manual, and should also have been noticed on every ship sale ever.
Replace 'private jet' with just about anything.
If you've opened it and used it, most places that will take it back, in most places that I know of, will charge a 15%+ restocking fee.

You'll have half the forum ignored the rate you are going.
Could have been worse and you could have flown, jammed in the slot and died without a rebuy.
Personally I keep my favourite ships, takes a long while longer to afford anything but absolute worst case would be going back to a previous vessel, and even then I would normally need to die twice in quick succession to lose a ship like that.....

Not true. for shrink wrap consumer goods, maybe. For anything high value, not at all.
would you buy a car, new or used, without a test drive? Go to a jewellers and buy a watch - do you have to buy it before you try it on your wrist? then sell it back to try the next one on? Welcome to the Levis store. I'm afraid you need to BUY the jeans before you can try them on... and if you want to see how they look with a particular belt or shirt, you will have to buy that too. and Sell them back to me before you try the next ones on... at a loss, of course.
We have a special name for stores like that. it's "shut down".
The lengths some people will go to in order to defend a bad game mechanic is staggering.
There is really no defending such a horrible stupid game design decision as this one. I'm shocked to see the amount of players that still try.
Outfitting is a separate part of the game, it would be a no-brainer to present you with a bill once you leave the outfitting screen.
It's like when you go to a wallmart, every time you look at an item you pay for it, and when you put it back you have to sell it for 90% of the price.
It's just lazy, shoddy programming.
PS: As a fan, defend the good parts of ED, not the brainless ones.

My country, Norway bought 52 F35 jets from Lockeed Martin, the planes wasnt even built yet, we dont even know if their gonna fly.......
FDev's argument is that there is already 3rd aprty software available so there is no need to spend resources on developing existing stuff ingame.
Which I think is okay but what we do need is an inagme web browser so we can access these 3rd party tools and netflix without leaving the game. For real, gosh.
I'm actually fine with that. I have over four thousand people on my Twitter block list to make life better, and let me tell you... life is good.
Me too, actually. One reason I haven't explored the bigger ships until now is that I love my wee fleet. I have my long term ASP Explorer, kitted for deep space, a Vulture that I have been improving bit by bit as my combat skills improve, an imperial courier that I use for bounty hunting and surface scan work. (no SRV in the vulture...) and the DBE that took me to Sag A - my first deep space ship, so still good for a wee spin every now and then.
What horrified me about the cost of getting an anaconda up and running properly was how the thought that I might have to sell one of my ships to get it right... and these have too many good memories in them already.
Yes, my moronic government did the same. So which Elite ship do you think the F35 is most like? gotta be an Adder. You look at it and just kinda go... why?
Great post! Good idea - makes a lot of sense. [up]
But then you've trashed the DEVS and the fan bois, apologists and pretend pragmatists are gonna jump your behind for having the utter temerity to make a reasonable suggestion that would add greatly to ED's quality of life. [yesnod]

It's not something they couldn't change or have overlooked. It's this way because they want it this way.
Indeed, they almost introduced the same loss on return sales of modules a while back.
Lol, touchy. Ah well, I guess we'll HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT.
Props for actually wishing a user here dies because he points out you made a mistake in a game, class act! Oh, how we now all wish we were more sympathetic to you, you clearly deserve it and we'll never get to interact with such a grand human being again.
