Unhelpful? The op had the issue explained. Unsympathetic ? Maybe but even then we have all made a mistake at some point so I would say it's more just friendly banter

OP: I paused the game and now I'm dead!!!
Community: Listen, and understand!

That phrase would apply as much to the community as it would to the Terminator, I think
[yesnod]
I paused my life cause it was easier to cross the road, nope that didn't work. Don't do this.
The game isn't paused until you exit to the Main Menu.
That's just the kind of game it is. (But you are also 100% safe inside a docking bay.)
If you contact Support via their ticket system and explain your situation, I'm sure they'll assist you with reimbursement. They are quite generous and understanding. Just don't abuse it and force them to get stingy with you.

People need to stop wasting FD support's time on their own stupid mistakes.
I don't create a ticket to Firaxis every time I lose a soldier in XCOM

There was a line on the box of a Husqvana chain saw once that said "Do not attempt to stop chain with hands or testicles" (That was the literal translation).
Holy Hannah, seriously? (Slightly Off-Topic) - Where did that 'Noob mistakes you have made' thread go? Y'know, I actually found that *really* helpful/informative in a few places (as well as almost blowing a massive snot-bubble down my beard trying not to explode with laughter on a packed bus)!
But surely there is something fundamentally wrong with having the ability to end up with something that costs 21,000,000 rebuy and somehow not even know this about the game. It should take so long acquire the required assets that this should be almost impossible.
Is it possible to do this without exploits? If so the game balance is wrong.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Too Much Nyborg.
Is this a BAIT thread?
Once upon a time
When you could pick up a lot of missions hauling poop from a certain station and transporting it to several stations 15 jumps away in a Conda
I took a call from wifey, left the game with the ship going nowhere fast in SC and thought "ahh, that will be fine...."
came back to see the re-buy screen and a full board of missions failed (probably about 50m)
think this is one of those lessons most of us learn the hard way - the game only stops when you log out
(and before anybody says anything about exploits - this was on an old account and yes, It did spoil the game for me on that save)

It's the attitude that is unhelpful IMO. "OP you are sooo dumb!" But it is those replying who have not understood. That is typical here, unfortunately.
Sooo, any ideas what this Albatross is? I really need to know. [blah]
Heh. Never, ever go afk with cargo in your hold or a mission in your transactions tab, without quitting to main menu.

We do understand. We understand that OP made a newbie mistake. We're not getting onto him for that, we're getting onto him for the attitude that this is everyone else's fault. If you're translating that to "OP you are so dumb" that's on you not them.
... even though that is pretty dumb Not the initial mistake, but blaming the universe or the devs when he screwed up.
Dude had a 21Mcr learning experience. That's going to sting, but the only thing to do now is learn from mistakes and recognize that there is no pausing in this game, there's only logging out to main menu, which this guy clearly did not know and had to find out the funny way.
