Oh well...I guess I'm totally finished with this game then.
Aren't commanders saved in cloud?
Yes, that’s why we need to shake our fists and yell at the clouds.
500t of ore is easy, and if you chose VOs, that's roughly 800,000,000cr profit!
50 t of Bromellite for Bill Turner ? It's fairly easy, if time consuming. But I can imagine it would be a serious pain if mining is not your thing.
Yes, which is why Support should be able to restore OP's account. He's said so many negative things about the game in this forum. I hope he returns to report the result and thanks them for their efforts.
But I imagine getting deadly combat rank isn't fun for someone who just wants to mine either.
damn that's hard.. I always back my stuff up to flash drive.. hope you get it back soon. I remember back int day when I played Granturismo.. I completed game, got all Gold, Every car, unlocked everything.. relied upon the server to keep my saves.. then boom came back on after a few weeks away and something had corrupted.. lost the lot.. it was the most gutted feeling ever..
Of course. If this genuinely happened, OP really cares and wants to continue with this game and he truly did contact support, they should absolutely restore it. The alternative is that anyone could randomly lose all their stuff. Of course, I do find it odd that someone who spends most of his time starting polemics and fueling internet flames happens to be the one to enouncter this possible, and if so truly extraordinarily rare, bug. That he then starts a topic instead of just contacting support and dealing with them does not surprise me though, no matter what happened.
And you don't need to play the game in the first place. You made a non-argument. Of course you probably don't need to have everything unlocked and a gazillion credits, but the doesn't justify bad game design. Besides that unlocking whatever and credits are the only ways of progression provided by the game itself.
My point was your implication that it is in some way abnormal or amoral ("I don't understand this attitude...") for someone to be upset about losing their accumulated game wealth and possessions, such that they felt it was a valid forum topic. Then you cite things like "it only takes a few hours to get an anaconda", and that was when I got triggered. I don't even have an anaconda, after 4 years in the game, not because I can't afford one, because I don't need it, it's a niche to irrelevant combat ship and I'm in this game for 1 thing primarily, the combat. Citing that as justification for your point of view was incendiary to people like me with so much more than 'obtaining an anaconda' invested in the game. I hope you see where I'm coming from. We've both had our says anyway, fair play and good day to you sir. o7
Reason #29 why I don’t console game...
But yeah, support is great. Had to call on them myself once or twice. Longest I had to wait was a weekend.

Consider yourself discriminated... though from a misanthrope like me, that doesn’t really carry much weight.
I play flight sims and racing sims. In those games there's nothing to grind or unlock. You buy new planes or cars and the fun is just to race or to fly combat missions.
Elite is not like that at all. It's more like an MMO with crafting where you grind for credits and farm for rare loot.
I prefer sims. I wish we could get rid of all the farming and grinding and just "enjoy the experience."
What's being on a console have to do with it?
The same thing reading the OP does. Poor fellow’s playing on a PS4 where there just aren’t options.
What options do you have that we don't? I can back up and restore my locally saved data, just like you, but my CMDR data is stored on Frontier's servers. Surely yours is as well. If his CMDR data is gone, I fail to see how a PC would give any advantage over a console in getting that data back.
