Weeks of grinding wasted by the update, left the game

Can understand why the OP is frustrated (not that I think this is worth leaving the game over, but then I'm not invested in BGS). Unfortunately this is something that will have to happen on rare occasions if we want to get more depth to the game. I like the fact that we have more states, we can see what level factions are at and additionally that Thargoids are potentially a serious problem for a system if incursions are not kept in check. Although I'm happy so long as I can keep smuggling booze into federal theocracies. Can I see a system news article about drunken acolytes please?
He was patient. The fruits of it were wiped out. Not surprised he's angry.
I can certainly understand your frustration. I would be very frustrated too. And yes, I would probably leave... for a week or so. By which time I would have gotten over it enough to play again.
But it is not something that is broken. Nor is it something that can be fixed. Leave. Stay. It does not matter in the big picture.

The fruits were going to be wiped out anyway, by other players. if losing makes him quit, best he get it over with now rather than later.
I maintain an NPC faction alone in what was a relatively quiet region on the bubble. I've left it to it's own devices & moved to another region about 100ly away. Based on the lack of mapped bodies there it's not a system anyone cares much about so I'm doing as little harm to anyone elses factions as possible.
Once this all settles down I'll go back & pick up the pieces. In the mean time there's plenty of other stuff to do & a new region of space to learn about
Good luck with whatever you choose to do. There's no subscription model so you can come back any time. Save your bindings if you uninstall.
Same. Its a tiny system (<200 pop) with nothing interesting around. You have a huge impact with everything you do and nobody else cares either way.

I look forward to seeing BGS nerds react when the server is turned off.

They will react the same as all of us: not at all.
Will they though?
Threads like this make me think otherwise.
Actually that would be glorious. Suddenly everyone would become a griefer.
Actually it would make no difference - what does "owning" a faction actually mean? How could it exist in the game without basically being just another faction?
"No man is an island,
Entire of itself,
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thy friend's
Or of thine own were:
Any man's death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind,
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee."
Well, it did say: Reply with Quote.

i do not think it-a means what you think it-a means....
Mind you, a bit silly, that poem. Well meaning, but reality isn't so easily parsed. Poets. Huh.
I'm not a BGS nerd but I will be happy because then, the serious work of MODing can start. Hopefully.
Well, here's how I parse reality: every player who leaves the game takes us one small step closer to the point where the game is no longer sustainable. Then the bell will indeed toll for all of us.
Times were certainly different when John Donne wrote that poem!
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb
I touch no one and no one touches me
I am a rock
I am an islandAnd a rock feels no pain
And an island never cries
Just saying

We don't have many player factions in our area, and the one we did have we worked with as allies. Our 1st expansion was to Laklang, that was a system the other faction needed for their Powerplay and we had no interest in it so we helped them get in control and they helped us stay out of wars there. The only other PF in the area is a PS4 group that doesn't seem very active. They never responded to any of our messages.
Working the BGS was the last thing I hadn't done much of in the game so I was pretty much doing that along with occasional bounty hunting with other faction members. Be it my fault or not, having those weeks of missions invalidated was the final thing that made me leave the game.
I might have left later anyway once we controlled the new home system and the dust had settled. The new exploration and mining might have held my attention for a short time but I think after playing so many hours I was just semi-burned out anyway. The one new thing that appealed to me was a group I read about that helps new players get credits quickly. My faction did that too, in fact we had a "Commander" basic account with a Type 9 loaded with materials needed to unlock engineers. That ship only left the station to pick up and drop off cargo 11km out. Any further out than that and we always had a heavy escort since this ship was a Pirate's dream come true. I enjoyed finding good paying wing missions that we could bring the newbies into. Our record was helping 2 new players get something like 190M credits in just two hours of running wing missions
