How many times have you died?

Haven't bought the game yet,but I will:D
Must I prepare myself for many glorious deaths:p?
How many times have you died?
or better to ask:how much you precious cargo worth during your death?
I know ...painful questions:eek:
 
since i started my current cmdr at the beginning of gamma I've died 3 times, the last time i died i had 212,000 worth of cargo in my hold. my death was due to accidentally firing my lasers while i was in the docking bay, the station obliterated me in about 3 seconds.

i very much depends on your play style and what you are doing at the time, if you focus on combat there is a good chance you will die quite often but if you trade not so much.
 
Since start of Beta 1 until the end of gamma fourteen times. (plus five times during the pre-gamma wipe armageddon "let's all meet up and spend our money on insurance" type of actions, but that doesn't count, right? :D)

After release only once. Because I thought it's a good idea to take on an Elite Anaconda without chaff and shield cells. :/
 
Twice... Both in the Sidey. Once because I cancelled a docking request while inside a station and got shot for trespassing. Once because I had no shields and an Anaconda stopped just on the inside of the letterbox and slammed me against a landing pad.
 
Five times since beta I think. The first, had to have a crack with the lasers as soon as I left the station didn't I? :D The second was getting smacked by the solar panel on the spinning station, just didn't see it coming. The third was boosting out of an outpost and faceplanting a pole, simply because there was no illumination. Fourth was a Type 9 blocking the station entrance and just not moving, thought I could ram past and caught the clippers wing caught in the toast rack, there's just no way out of that. The last was pretty much right after that and was another Type 9 wedged sideways in the slot, tried waiting but my time ran out, so the station shot me :D

All in all I've had pretty bad luck with stations :p
 
Twice, both playing in solo mode, killed by npc pirates. One set me back pretty good; the other left me floating in space, forcing me to self-destruct, which was quite upsetting :)
Been playing open lately and no deaths yet!
 
No deaths since beta, but an imperial clipper nearly got me a few days ago with a ram that cracked the canopy.
 
Seven times.

Five trial and error in a eagle while trying to kill wanted anaconda (i had so suicide once after loosing fsd and trusters). I don't try to attack disco-conda with an eagle anymore. :D
One boost into station while being scanned in silent running with stolen goods in my cargo. (stopping wasn't a problem after all, i just needed a wall)
One cocky attempt to pvp with a new, badly upgraded pve asp.

Three times. Flying a sidewinder on day two after release. Jumped by a MKIII. Had 3k credits to my name so not a big deal. Second time Lakon 6 with 92 tons of Gold down the drain when I forgot a docking clearance while hurrying in for a deadline. Had to borrow 60k to pay for the insurance to get my Lakon 6 back. Had to sell it and get a MKIII so I could afford cargo. Third and last time I got killed was when I jumped into a nav beacon and ran out of fuel, Lakon 6 with 108t of Beryillum. Maybe playing after four or 5 beers late at night was not such a good idea.
 
About a handful of times, all but one due to not watching what I was doing entering and exiting stations, not paying attention.
 
Boo on all of you who never die. And boo on you for not including your deathcount before beta as well.

As for myself, I have gloriously died 9 times, and shamefully died 3 times, for a total of 12.
 
Three times for me. Most recently was just 2 days ago - lost ASP with nearly 500K cargo. I didn't pay attention and was interdicted by elite Anaconda. I didn't noticed till my shield was gone and hull health at 50%. I boosted it away but was hit some sort of purple ball at me and I blew up. :(
 
Once, at the hands of a bounty conda that I'd deliberately gone after in an unduerpowered ship and not evaded well enough (on the 4th time of trying thinking sheild cells would be enough for me when I didn't yet understand how they worked)

Basically you only die in this game if you choose to be stupid enough to let it happen! (I was stupid)
 
I've died 4 times since launch, mostly due to reckless behaviour.

1) Mining in a shieldless, weaponless Hauler I get destroyed by a Cobra (I think) NPC.
2) Self Destructing after running out of Fuel Ly from home...
3) Fighting an Elite Anaconda in my Eagle.
4) Fighting another Elite Anaconda in my Eagle.
 
I died once after Gamma released but that was because we were told there was going to be a wipe. I was very far out in the universe and didn't want to travel all the way back just to do some testing. So I killed myself by plunging my ship into a star. Little did I know a few days later we were told there would only possibly be a wipe and not a guarantee anymore. After that I was very very careful.
