Irony - SOS

I think what the OP is trying to say is that on this occasion they were playing a max risk/reward scenario, and if they'd been destroyed through normal game play, fair enough. But this happened through game failure, so should be compensated. However, ultimatums never work. So threatening to leave the game over a single instance will get you a big fat nothing! Just chill and be reasonable an you'll get the response you want. By the way, if you're less than 10k CR from your rebuy can't you just deselect a couple of the upgrades on your rebuy screen?

P.S
Can someone explain the thread title to me
 
You said you were being attacked?

Perhaps your power plant was destroyed, you lose any control over your ship if that happens as you don't have any power. Could that have happened?

Also maybe his thrusters were shot out? That also would explain him not being able to move his ship.

He had already deselected all purchased modules and was going back to his ship fully stock. He was, however, short by just under 10k despite doing so.

This is "unfortunate", not "irony". Common mistake.

Would have been kinda ironic if you had just changed your controller batteries, to prevent such a thing.

  • I did everything safely. I am hardlined. There was no other choice for me.

Fault or no fault, ALWAYS make sure you have left enough to rebuy, no matter what...

  • I agree but I was so safe man. My strategy was foolproof. If you seen the gameplay you would understand.
    • No I didnt record it, was too panicked.

    [*=1]The title is to get attention, but this is correct. I did not fault on my own accord.
    [*=1]I don't threaten to leave because I am sour I just acted out of frustration, I love this game and I lost something to a bug. I don't want to leave at all. I want to support the Federation.
    [*=1]I was short 9,625 CR in my balance to be able to be eligible for the loan. Even after removing all parts I still owed the 9,625 CR. Do you know how mind lowing that is? My limit is 2.5m CR. (2,509,625 CR) = -9,625 CR
You said you were being attacked?

  • As I said, as soon as I came out of super cruise my controller stopped communicating with Elite, yet I was able to open the guide on the Xbox no problem.

But flying under your rebuy, is your fault. You have to accept that even acts of God won't mean a thing if you're above your rebuy cost.

  • An act of a game malfunction is certainly not an act of god.

To be fair, I had something very similar happen to me last night, which resulted in me doing some 'Sun Slamming' in my corvette, never had it before mind you, it was a bit weird. I feel your pain but as everyone else in this thread has pointed out if you fly without the credits to cover a loss, that is the risk you take
 
Dude - I have to say it seems a bit weird that your controller stopped working yet you were still able to open the guide to the xbox.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say what I think happened.

- You didn't observe rule number one and bought too many slaves to get the max amount of profit you could but now didn't have enough for a rebuy - rookie mistake.

- You jumped to the next system to unload your cargo and get that filthy profit you were craving

- Unfortunately you were set upon whilst in super cruise and interdicted almost within sight of your goal

- Before you could do anything you were turned to space dust

- Knowing you had been a silly boy and not adhering to Rule 1 you decided to plead on the forums for help and to blame the game

Go on - how close am I?

It is not an Elite issue with your controller. Like you I have mine hard wired also & have had this happen on a few games.
Pull cable from controller & plug back in straight away.
More an Xbox issue than game one.

I concur. I've had times where my controller has stopped responding. A quick removal of my battery pack and reinserting it solves the issue. I've had this in other games, not just ED.
 
  • I am 9,625 CR short after the final loan. I have no options here? I might quit the game over this.
    • After entering a station via super cruise drop out, my controls stopped working for the game, although, I could open my Xbox guide and messages and everything and I was attacked and destroyed. I had some 204 Imperial Slaves for sale but I don't care about that, I care about how a bug in the controls caused me to lose a ship when I was doing everything by the book. This may be my farewell to the title. I paid for this game when it was in preview. I put too much time into this game so that a bug can ruin it for me.

Xbone has had controller disconnect issues since day 1. It's got much better over time, but still rears its unresponsive head from time to time.

mmmmmmmm the salty tears of impotent rage, don't fly with no money to bail your ass out. Something we have all failed to do at some time but anyway I will enjoy the moment of your failure with a little chuckle and a sigh of Noob
 
you can earn those 10k by playing arena/cqc. log out before selecting the free sidey, log into arena, earn that money, log into main game, pay insurance. at least that works on pc.
