After 5 days of playing...I am again..at ZERO...nervous berakdown coming in

Its.... a beta. Hardly worth any kind of breakdown. These things should be anticipated, if not outright expected.

I see the insurance payemt when you die as in an excess set at 10% rather than a premium.

So we are all insured by the pilots federation but we have to pay the excess just like in real life.

You say that you are getting hangs and what not, are you playing in the ALL group and what is your Broadband speed up and down as playing online solo it has been smooth as silk and I wonder if you are getting problems with getting or recieving data.

But also don't get attached to any of your stuff we have at least one more full wipe before the game launches and you can use the beta as a way to learn the game and ease yourself into it without any real long term consequences.

I lost my first Lakon6 about 10mins after I got it. Hit boost key (which is now rebound) w/ just shy of 14k insurance I needed after filling it's hold. Boosted right as I was touching down at my destination.

Spent all yesterday getting it back. I feel your pain man! I felt physically ill when it happened, but learned a few things along the way like having a separate docking config (which is cool).

Just thought of one more thing, which I'll submit as a feature request in s second. Add a "Disable Booster when Landing Gear Deployed" checkbox.

"Life is so unfair!" (paraphrased)

And guess what? Some time(s) between Beta and Gamma, there will be a full wipe/reset

Halo master chief collection, gta 5, forza horizon, batman arkham knight, these are coming and they know how to treat their customers and that's why they make so much damn money.

PS. I think the devs really hate us or something.

I was just telling my wife about my experiences...and well..I better not say what she said....

Anyway, today a while back (I talked about that already) I lost my docking computer, cargo and everything due to a glitch...so I had to start at ZERO again.

Spent several hours starting new with starter SW, no docking computer (of course)..trying to make back my money.

It wouldn't be such a big deal jumping a few times from Azasomething to I Bootis...the problem is things DRAG and of course the rather frequent freezes which can happen when you jump.

Now, I do my final approach to I Bootis, Pirates pop up. I am panicking and must have disabled my shields for a second..anyway my ship exploded faster than I could blink.

Again..EVERYTHING lost, cargo, SW etc...

After 4 (or 5?) days of playing the Beta I am AGAIN at ZERO, starting over with a SW since I cannot afford to buy back the old ship. (When you start out with 1000 CR it's obviously not exactly easy to always keep 1600 backup credits to be able to buy back the ship,.....how can I make money in trades..I must fill my cargo and make some profit...things take long enough as it is...)

I feel now I wasted the entire Sunday, I have never played a game where it's possible to get entirely "wiped out" like that and having to start over from zero.

Yes I am ranting, yes it's a beta....but still....

Hehe

You should have been there in the early days of DayZ.

It was a blast knowing everything could fall apart at any moment. It put you on the edge of your seat.

DayZ is the only game I have every played which actually got my heart literally pounding in real life. I am hoping that perhaps Elite: Dangerous will do the same.

Danger + Something to Lose = Real Risk = Real Excitement.
