6W 3D 1H 56M/38/113m
How many times have you been destroyed?
- Thread starter dreampage
- Start date
6 in total...and I remember each one vividly. One was caused by a network issue and fully refunded by FD so I don't count it, the other 5 by various combinations of stupidity, pilot error, tiredness and old fashioned bad luck
25 insurance claims for around 75 million credits. 35 million of that was a Cutter, before I engineered the shields and thought I could handle a two CMDR wing (Conda and FDL) pirate interdiction. I thought "I'll just fight 'em for a bit and if I start losing I'll just run awa... " and I died about that fast.
65 claims totaling 200m credits. Probably 60 of those have been "aggressive unplanned landings" of a 932m/s viper while canyon racing.
Offhand, I think I started playing the game in March 2015
5 ship losses
About 1.8 Million in total claims – 1 Vulture, 2 Cobra Mk III, 1 Sidewinder, and 1 Viper, I think
1 having had a few and getting wedged inside a station and taken out by security (Viper?)
1 gank (Sidewinder?)
2 losses to pirates (Cobra Mk III)
and 1 loss to an NPC Anaconda I took on while not paying close enough attention to my ship stats (Vulture)

Before Arx - maybe 5.
After Arx - 30. Because 1 death = 8 Arx. So the Sidey gets to see some action vs station.

197 - that's Buckyballing for you!
Hundreds.
For the first few years i thought burning them to the ground was the whole point of playing.
Four in actual combat.

Not that many for my fast approaching 10K hours gametime.*
Lost a few Sidewinders, learning the game 5 years ago & Suicidwinding from Jaques Station.
Lost my 'Conda, flipping over & then trying to take off from a Planet....while under the influence...Hic!
Lost a couple of Kraits, two months back while attacking Thargoid Scouts in the Witchead Sector - didn't know at that time how to 'stop' the contamination damage & didn't make it back to a Station!
Edit: 9 times*

Suppose "the yamocks" has plenty of footage himself. Har har har
7 rebuys so far, but I think that depends entirely on your game style, looking at bongo as a vivid example.
Loads. Most painful at the time was very early on. Picked up a mission to supply something like superconductors for a very generous mark up over the going rate. Knowing I could buy them in pretty much the next system over I eagerly snapped this job up. Bought them and filled my little Hauler and off I pootled to return on what was a well know and safe run. Got insta interdicted on the way back to the delivery station and wasted by an NPC pirate losing all the cargo that was a fairly sizeable chunk of my bankroll at the time.
It was pretty frustrating as back in those early days just after the official release there was a big gap in terms of cost of the ships between the Sidey/Eagle/Hauler to the better trader of the Cobra III

Got the game Jan 2015, only 1 death....bought a Viper (first ship I bought)....took it straight into a CZ and got wasted.
4 - ish
Over almost 3 years long career.
#1.
Tried slave run once as I heard it's good money. One system before destiantion I stopped to perform silent running "dry test". Forgot I have a pirate tail. He dropped when I was shield naked and half cooked. As I mentioned earlier - #pantsdownmoment.
#2.
Trying to learn combat flying, Nav Beacons are dry, let's go to combat zone. Found nice target, started shooting. 5 seconds later rebuy. Did I mentioned that I didn NOT picked a side?
#3.
Got Cutter for the second time in my career. Found that I don't have her FSD engineered. Went to Deciat and somehow butchered glide. Ended bit too deep in the canyon past Farseer's base.
#4.
Went for a short sightseeing tour near the Bubble, ended in Colonia. Happens. While there I decided to revisit SagA*. 500 LYs later lost all the will to jump-honk-scan mantra. Went back to Colonia, bought Sidewinder and performed experiment - how high temp gauge I can get before turning into crisp. Answer: despite taking it considerably long the values weren't that impressive.
There may be #5 case but it wa so insignificant I can't recall what it was. So officially - 4.
