Yep certainly sucks, will add some rep to(not much consolation i know lol) ....i thought i had it bad losing a ton of acquired Bountys in a high res area after being greedy and doing one more and flinging myself into an asteroid avoiding a two man wing attacking me! lol...definitely not on your scale at all! .....ps i love lemons though
Many have said what you said, including why in the year 3300 data has to be handed in.
Well, if we stick to the game mechanics, we warp space to travel, with warp drives. Sending signals to a centralised cloud will have to go the old fashioned way, speed of light. Even if you are only 5 LY away from the cloud, your signal to record your bounty will take 5 years to get to the cloud.
OP, +1 rep as I can't do anything else
You have persuaded me to not go to the Core this time round, as I have traveled over 25000 LY already, in many directions, and was going to the core before heading back. I will do the core in another trip.
I really feel for you - I know exactly what you're going through; just lost around 1500 systems worth of data. I'd kept fairly detailed notes and put them on my ticket - managed to get credits in 'compensation', but unfortunately ended up 18K LY from where I was, with no credits on discoveries, and the CR I got as compensation wasn't applied to my exploring XP/CR. So basically, got to go through it all again. It's agony just thinking of spending another four weeks just to get back to where I was before! :-( It's really bad design.
Full sympathies - hope you at least manage to get some CR back from support.

If Life gave You lemons, then go to store and buy sugar and make yourself lemonade.

Thanks everyone who replied, and also thanks for all the rep that you gave me.
I guess i will consider if i go do it again, or perhaps go back and do something else in game. But i'm not sure about it yet.
Thanks, it really sucks especially all the time that it cost.
Well i didn't get credits, they just put me back in my asp located in the core. thats it.

Star from beginning. In cool old Sidewinder. Grind credit for Vulture and enjoy again.
You managed to get relocated in the core? :-O
I was told that they couldn't do that!!! (So I'm left with an 18K LY trip back out - about 18 hours if it's just jump/beep/refuel/repeat).
Hmmmm....

They put me back on the route that i travelled, in one of the last systems before my game made me die. I think it was the 2nd or 3rd system from the last one.
I can imagine in the future that critical data is saved in a black box that has a transponder signal and an owner ID embedded within. So, they could change the game to allow anyone to find it and give the finder a nice finders fee (deducted from the exploration data price) and then credit the owner with the rest. Of course, the owner would know right where to find it so the owner could possibly reclaim all of the lost money.
No. When life gives you lemons - go get the tequila and the salt.
I loved that guy. I'ma have to go play that game again now that I'm remembering his wise-cracking.
I'm glad someone got the reference
I didn't think it was possible to improve on the simplicity and guile of Portal's story but they went and did it anyway. Got to love Valve.
"If life gives you melons, you might be dyslexic...."
It certainly isn't local. It's probably just that they backup whole database tables, and aren't going to spend hours and hours of work recovering data to another database server just to rebuild one player's data.
Essentially there's not an easy "undo delete" one the data has been dropped, without restoring the whole table or database from backup and finding the previous data.
