Sounds pretty fishy
Anyone else's ship explode for no reason?
- Thread starter Krasche
- Start date
Once I had my mamba's canopy blow out and I exploded for no reason. I was so mad I didn't play for 2 weeks. Didn't know I could make a support ticket as on PS4 we don't get bug fixes anymore it seems based on the current glitched out state of cqc for the past year
Do you have enemies at Frontier Developments? It looks like sabotage to me.
Perhaps this is a clue for some future mission.

Yea it was right before the canopy fix. But after that I got the krait2. I've gotten back in the mamba twice since then and sold it the 3rd time I equipped it. Which is a bummer that I stopped liking it as I bought paints and such for it
Something to do with module priorities?
Just a wild guess.
My Colonia Taxi is temperamental like that, I have to be careful.

Do you really need a support ticket because your ship blew up when you can easily make over 200 million credits an hour. What was the rebuy cost- around 500K? That's not even one ton of painite. In the time you wrote the ticket, you could have outfitted your ship for mining and earned an easy 20 million. FD cannot return any data or materials. They can only give you credits to replace your ship. Credits have no value anymore!
All you do by raising a ticket is waste their time and give them a good laugh because in most cases they can see exactly what you did wrong. They always feel sorry for you, so they give you some worthless credits.

Yeah bro it's not about the money of the rebuy. it's so fdev knows there's some kind of problem in their game that they need to fix before it becomes a big reason why people play different games
Yes - always run a support ticket for an unknown exploding ship - could be a bug that needs fixing before others also explode for unknown reasons.
But then I guess that most people when they see a rock in the road that could destroy someone's wheel just drive on past and keep going. Some people actually stop and remove the rock from the road...
Plus - the guy was 19,000 Ly from the bubble. So it isn't just some imaginary credits we're talking about, it's the whole gameplay experience that has potentially been lost for no reason!?

Like others have said I think you have got the wrong end of the stick on this. The point wasn't "boo-hoo I have died, gimme back the rebuy" - the point was "Hey how come my ship blew up when it was parked on a planet 19Kylies out?"
Since the journal didn't / doesn't provide enough information to see what happened then I think it is worthwhile to raise a support ticket to get them to look see if there was / is some glitch / issue that is affecting the game. Restoration of credits is secondary, I don't know if they can restore the lost explo data these days but that would be worthwhile. Unfortunately they can't (as far as I am aware) reset / cancel the "Insurance Claim" involved, which is a bit of a pain if in ironman mode and you get destroyed by a glitch.
"Run out of oxygen", by the way - that sounds like a fob-off to me.
I think that if you choose to go through with a re-buy after the ship destruction, then you won't be able to get any explo data back. It's only if you put in a ticket prior to any rebuy that the data is available to be restored to your resurrected ship.
Yeah - I also think that "run out of oxygen" sounds a bit fishy...
Those explosions due to overheating look like they might pretty handy at using up all the available oxygen, and cold hard vacuum would suck out the rest from your lungs quick-sharp, so...
...probably a fob-off. Personally, I’d have gone for cause of death: “ran out of bladder capacity”
I understand that. My comment was about the bug report and the further encouragements to do that, not about the request about what happened, which I had answered in a previous post. We know that nearly all the ships that "spontaneously blow up" actually do it for a reason that the pilot wasn't aware of. Instead of trying to figure out why it happened, their first action is to report a "bug" because they couldn't have done anything wrong, obviously.
It's true that there have been bugs that caused ships to explode for no reason, but it was pretty obvious when that happened, like flying into the station and bang - ship disintegrated. Don't you find it very mysterious that in all the recent reports, the pilot was AFK when it happened. In OP's case, a simple check of the log shows that his ship blew up because it overheated. Only he/she knows why. We can guess. If there were a bug, people would be reporting "What the ....., my ship just started overheating for nothing". That does happen, but in all cases there was an explanation why it happened.
PS I have a heart of stone. No sympathy from me. People make mistakes. The game has many pitfalls to catch you out. Suck it up, learn and move on.
PPS "Run out of oxygen" wasn't mine if that was aimed at me.
PPPS If FD didn't have so many spurious bug reports to deal with, they could spend more time fixing the actual bugs.

If you used AFMS on life support it would turn the O2 off and you have to manually turn it back on? No mention of it above but a possibility, unless it or the canopy was damaged at X% already and broke the exact second you landed?
Otherwise....hmmmm...technically all forms of death are down to 'run out of oxygen' in one form or another
At risk of being objective, the OP issue, and others when trying to help, is lack of info in the report they can see so they needed more info as to what happened understandably, maybe its more that than 'This is intolerant, fix it immediately!' point of view....

No that was about the response from support.
I wasn't having a go, just making the point about the OP being perplexed.
This happened to me twice.
Somehow I managed to accidentally "turn off" my life support. Since my TV was muted and I didn't see the life support timer counting down... boom.
On another occasion I was exploring and repairing modules. I ordered repair of life support... which turns off life support.... and then once repaired I never turned it back on. Boom. Stupid mistake. Now I repair all modules EXCEPT life support. I can afford to get distracted or interrupted during those repairs. Then I do just the life support module and nothing else.... being certain to be attentive to the repair process.

Yeh, I don't feel this is resolved, even by your, er, exceptional standards.
I wonder if it was a high gravity world and the ship simply struggled to stay aloft. I play PC with a controller as well and there is a default binding preset for enabling silent running (on XB controller it's like A+LB or something). so unless your cat came over and button mashed your controller to enable silent running or fired all your guns at once with the AC running and the windows open.
Also maybe priority settings for modules on the right screen? Not sure if that makes any real meaningful impact to ship systems but i suspect if power priority is set to 1 on everything i wouldn't put a system overload past it.
Or, if you have kids, siblings or other individuals with no concept of personal belongings and whatever is yours is theirs too, someone picked up the controller, nose dived you into the rock and called it a day. is it possible in 30 seconds?
Maybe you were really followed for 19,000 light years and got ganked?
I feel some toggles...like oxygen.. should have an "are you sure" message
