Noooooo

I was at the galactic centre, didnt fancy jumping all the way back. Self destructed, took the freewinder, back to the bubble and the ASP is....just gone. It's not there on the ship transfer. I spent AGES engineering it. Is this a bug or is it gone?

That's a big nono. The purpose of the freewinder is to be the replacement ship when you won't pay the insurance after dying.
 
Whow, that's a harsh mistake... But everyone makes them.

I really hope for you that FDev will help you. But don't wonder if they don't, that's clearly on you and as you have a heavily engineered ship you spent ages on building you're clearly not a noob anymore.
 
Dont feel bad, one time while attempting to switch to my corvette i bought a new corvette instead and didnt realize. Then freaked out because i thought i lost all my engineering and skins and $100+ mil mysteriously and opened a support ticket.

And then after making a ticket and posting about it publicly on here. I then went to switch to one of my other combat ships while i waited for the ticket response.

Oh hey look my corvette..... 😲🤦‍♂️

We all do something laughable sometimes
 
So let us get this straight...
You purposely self destructed your ship to avoid the jumps back to the bubble, and expect frontier to give you the ship back..

Good luck with that...

It's even better:

Step 1: intentionally blow up your own ship.
Step 2: when asked "would you like your ship back?" say "No thanks.".
Step 3: Wonder where you ship is.

Then again, blessed is he who reserves his comical blunders for computer games and other trivial matters. Not a fan of god-modding in general, but I don't really gain any joy out of OP not having his old Asp back. If it really means a lot to him I hope they just give it back and pretend it never happened.
 
Well, that's a great one.
As a fellow Welshie I hope FD show some benevolence and restore your ship.
But as somebody who flew to Sag A* and back via Colonia in a 20ly range Lakon that only had a three jump fuel tank I would feel a little miffed if they didn't put you right back where you suicidewindered.
pob lwc (Good luck) anyway. Let us know how it goes.

I did Sag A* in a 20ly Sidewinder (2 Jump tank)... took 10hrs to get there (and 10 to get back).
Whats the point in going in the first place, if you suicide to get back quickly?

There are a number of points - There's a "trophy" on PS for doing it, but they don't take it off you for not making the long trek home.
There's bragging rights, of course.
There's exploration data and the huge increase in exploration rank (if you don't suicide, of course, haha) if you spend a couple of weeks mapping and tagging. I earned half a billion tagging on my visit.
There's even a thread on this forum where you can register the achievement to gain the kudos of your peers. (I didn't know it existed when I did it, so my photos didn't qualify as proof)
I understand why it's done. It's a tick in a box, at the end of the day.

Try it with support, as you propably wouldn't have done it if you'd known the consequences.
That said, consequences are good. You learn from them.

Im a ganker, what do i win?!
EVERYTHING :cool:
let me guess fully engineered ?
Rick's a guy who flies unengineered Type-9s into CZs, because "frack you why not"...
He's the only guy in our bunch who deliberately doesn't G5 murderboat his rides.
So your assumption is pretty wrong.
Well this thread turned into a raging dumpster fire in the couple of hours I was away lol xD
Pour more gasoline in it! DO IT 🥳

Sorry to hear that op. We all makes mistakes.

Gawds sakes there some douchery comments here for the poor lad, I hope that whenever some of you makes a mistake there's someone just like you around to take the pee. Maybe then YOU'D all learn a lesson, on how to be a bit nicer?
In fairness, the OP wanted to cut corners because they read it on the internet, but didn't bother to follow the process properly, then after ignoring all warnings the game does give you posts here in DD whether it's a bug.

Of course he's going to get a light ribbing.
