Death = loss of credits only?

So yesterday I tried to stealthily enter a space station at high speed in my Cobra full of tobacco and slaves. Alas, I ended up space dust as I completely misaligned myself with the entry.

Thankfully I had enough money for a rebuying, but when I went to buy more cargo I realised my holds were full still! Of... Tobacco and slaves!!

I suppose some people would feel like this was a great thing, but I have to say, I was quite disappointed to realise that death as a trader is almost inconsequential (if you have enough money for a rebuy). I had come to terms with my loss, laughed it off as a lesson learned and a hilarious tale to tell the grandkids one day, and was ready to face the universe anew, until I realised I can just pick up where I left off before I died. It all suddenly feels a bit meaningless.

Well, I'm going to go cash in this magical respawning cargo and continue on my slightly less exciting travels now, but I'm wondering if anyone feels the same way about this?

Probably best you do report it. Otherwise the "exploit punisher" goblin might come after you and make off with everything you own.

Also got "hit" by this bug.

I was happy ( who wouldn't with 4m of savings) yet it should not be this way.

I want to lose cargo on my death :)

Its hard to say if this is a bug or intentional. People have been whinging for this for months. I hope it is a bug and not frontier appeasing the whinging grind merchants again.

Without access to a log of timed events to refer to I can't see the point in reporting it.

I can afford to have it corrected at some point ... but considering the number of people cheating with the "log-off rather than bother undock" trick it would be unfair of FD to hit me for something that wasn't deliberate on my part.

this happened to me two days ago. Was 2/3rds of the way around the "mega rares trade route" with a hold full (112t) of rares, got interdicted by a clipper. Ooh, not fought one of those before! Got me down to 32% hull before I'd got him down to 26% when he pulled up in a pass and rammed me to insta-death :(. After I'd calmed down and remembered a tidy profit grind I found 25ly back in the journey, thought I'd go back and start again. Back in Kirk dock, cargo hold full of rares and systems visited count was the same as before death too :eek:.

I got my 4 cans of biowaste back after I had boosted my 10m+Cr Cobra into the cockpit of an erratic Python - whoop! The weekend bug fairy has definitely been out to play.
