Already suggested so often: ability to cancel self destruction

Yet again this happened to me.
I wanted to reboot my ship in a CZ and accidentally self destructed. How utterly bad it is to see it happening without any hope to cancel it. [mad]

This is probably the most annoying feature in any game, ever.

As much as that sucks, being on console and going to put landing gear down CLEARLY holding B and pressing down on the d pad then the game goes and says "Landing gear? Aw hell no! You clearly meant to boost!"

In the same vein of complaint. The silent running option is awfully close to the enable wing beacon. The last thing I want is my shields going down because of a fumble press. Or as you said accidentally blow up my ship when you want to do the exact opposite of blowing up your ship.

Personally I say we go for a 4-8 number pincode to be punched in before the 30 second count down can be engaged.


Also I wanna do this.

I have seen lots of posts about cancelling launch and a few others, but none about cancelling the self-destruct. Well I guess if you have the dee-tees then confirming the wrong command, could be an issue, but the rest of us, just have to check what we are doing.

If I remember correctly, there is a 'Confirm' step in the Self Destruct option. You already have to click twice to SD, shouldn't that be enough? I don't think E|D wants to save you, from yourself.

Yes, but in the heat of a battle when shots are being fired at you, you may jump on the buttons the same way when you are in a hurry want to close the door of an elevator.

Omg ROFL!
Sry but i've never noticed that someone has THIS problem :D i think you are just way too fast with your clickediclick.
Sounds like my girlfriend when i explain her something on PC:
"Now choose this option...clickclickclickclickclickclick IT'S NOT WORKIING!" :D:D:D

Keep care which otpion you choose and take a half second more time, than you should be fine ;) some people just need to repeat mistakes more often until the learning effect applies

You can stop a self destruction once initiated, same way as you can cancel a launch.

Quickly quit the game. Upon re start the self distruct has been cancelled. If a launch, you will be back on the landing pad.

Haha, yeah. I was trying to reboot once, guess what I started instead? Task manager, and kill. Reenter and everything is fine.

Even easier on a console, though. Just jab that reset button.
