In World Credits

[Commander Jake Skyrunner]

I am sorry if this has been asked / answered already, but there are far too many threads to search though.

My question is this, in a world where we have space ships, interstellar flight, Space trading ports orbiting planets..... Why do we seemingly carry our credits on our spacecraft? Has Paypal not reached this universe yet?

My point being, why (when our ship gets destroyed), does our money reset back to 1,000Cr ? If we have insurance policy's that grant us a replacement ship, then this means time is not being reset, we are moving on in real time. So that being said surely our credits are stored in some galactic bank, and would CONTINUE to be made available to us?

I spent a few hours today running multiple trade routes, and made alot of credits, then due to one pilot who did not know where his landing bay was, decided to land on my ship at the very moment I was about to take off. Destroying both of us.

When I came back in my insurance provided ship, I was back to 1,000Cr.

That is a bit unfair.

hi, that's a bug! You should definitely ticket it, as that has never happened to me! It sounds like the game cleared your save for some reason.

Oh and welcome to the forums

When you take the free sidewinder you should be keeping your existing credits.

If you are taking combat bonds it's a good way to build your credits, just stay in the scenario till you die, then take the free sidewinder again.

Only when you choose "CLEAR SAVE" from the multiplayer menu should you be returning to 1000 credits.

If i remember right, if you die and have less than 1000 credits and restart in a free sidewinder, you will have a 1000 starting fee as if starting over (because, at that point you might as well). In other cases you will start with as with the amount you had.

Combat bonds ?

What you get paid for in the federal distress scenarios.
