Horizons 300 hours down the drain.

So you lost a ship due to pilot error and you are angry?
why? its sadly your fault.

The game (was) aimed at a hardcore audiance.

You've had plenty of good advice about how to evade and escape, but I'll just suggest this; it sounds like you've become emotionally invested in a video game to the point where it's unhealthy. Take a step back, play another game for a bit or better still do something with family or friends, something that reminds you of what's really important in life

You've still got your learned experience, your ratings, ranks and materials - they'll be there waiting for you when you jump back in!

Total respect for you Marra - I have been there; done that; worthwhile advice.

Have some rep

Anyway, you didn't lose a single hour. Virtual currency and assets are ultimately just vapourware, what really counts is the ingame experiences, the moments that last, the ingame sensations. And those you will never lose regardless of outcome. And the slight risk of losing everything makes those experiences far more lively.

Coming back up the 2nd time around is always much easier.

Well said.

I feel your pain because I have been there, as have many others. I was in an anaconda when it happened to me; I almost quit the game.
Give it a day to cool off, then start fresh. Learn from your mistakes

Slowly getting back up to my feet. Originally made the thread to just vent some frustration. I had died before, but never twice in a row with the added bad luck of having the more expensive cargo in my hold both times(280k one way, 3mil the other). The situation was avoidable, as people have been pointing out in this thread, all good advice for new(-ish) commanders. I was just so eager to upgrade from my trusty Asp Explorer to a bigger ship, I couldn't downgrade again to cut my losses.

Eh, at least this'll maybe serve as a warning to others. Lesson; be very careful, it's hunting season.

Glad to hear it!

After I just posted about loosening some ships a while back. I just crashed on a planet due to my own fault last night, loosing some cargo and a kitted python. but Insurance to the rescue and a bit of humble pie to swallow. but its all good just slow down and plan ahead.. I was being in a rush to complete a mission and pushed to fast. well after a bit of frustration I realized its just a game!

There's nothing you can do to roll back time.

After being destroyed and having to take a loan, going out again with the uninsured python was perhaps far too big a gamble? Better to park the ship and use a cheap one until rebuy is covered. Interdictions are way too frequent at the current game state.

You also have all of the reputation, ranking and stats that you had built all this time... kind of like losing your job and all of your money in real life, but always have your education. Although, if had the choice to lose everything in a game or in real life, I'd take the game all day long. Don't worry, you'll get everything back in no time! Fly safe!
