Welcome to Elite: HarmlessYeah, they added the ability to sell lots of stuff - because flying without rebuy is a RIGHT!
I think there is an old ancient saying round these parts for something like this.
I just can't think what it I...........
Oh yes, that's it....
"Never Fly Without Rebuy"

It really says how broken the game is if someone nooby enough to not appreciate don't fly without rebuy can have a carrier?
Just goes to show we don't die much. I think total is still single digits.
I'll be damned...
I don't think it's the game. I just don't take these kind of threads seriously.
They have rebuy though, its just in their carrier balance. I guess they just assumed it would work for either, which isnt the craziest asumption out there
If it was a shared bank balance you wouldn't have to depsit money in the fc.
I didnt say it was, I said it was an easy mistake to make.
The OP's experience answered what I thought to be correct quite nicely, thanks. Just a shame how it worked out for him!
But... It did reinforce my decision to keep around 200 mill in credits in my CMDR's account

For all intents and purposes, it does suck, and might not be intuitive to some gamers.
On the other hand.... still

"So you will let me sell entire ships to add funds to my account, but I cant just move funds from one acount to another?"
"I dont make the rules pal"
I imagine the guy's voice being the nerdy teenage kid from the simpsons, always in the krusty burger place!
I'm not really into PvP, so it's easy to avoid. Last time I died on my main account 1,5 years ago. I remember it well, because out of boredom I did some weird FAOff manouver in front of peacefull Thargoid patrol just before they switched my engines off, so I bumped into one of them while drifting and it made them very angry.
But I just checked - there's "your stored ships" button indeed, but for some weird reason I never noticed it before - I guess I always had rebuy cash, so there was no need to check other options.
That sounds like a hard learning lesson, sorry for your loss CMDR o7 I had thought that will be the case, since when you are on the rebuy screen you don't see all your money, only the amount in your pocket.
If it was engineered, considere asking the frontier support about it. Could be a long shot but worth the try

Remember folks. Not having enough money in the correct account can be costly.
If you don't have enough money in your account to pay a direct debit, it will bounce, however much money you have in your account with another bank.
Same principle.
No it's not lol! If your Sky TV direct debit bounces nothing happens except Sky try to take it again after a few days. You would transfer money from your other bank account to cover the second direct debit attempt. You don't have to sell your second car immediately to stop your Sky being turned off...
But it is quite bad that there's no option to transfer credits from YOUR carrier account.
The analogy would have been better if they said debit card rather than direct debit - so the way I see it is if you have all the money in the savings account (analogous for the carrier) and you go to the shops to buy a pack of beer, when you present your debit card that has insufficient funds in the account behind it, the teller isn't going to be letting you leave the store with your beer...
