Talking to your wife is totally worth 450k, in fact it is priceless. Next time log out and give her full focus, if pennies are so important to you.

Because you can't ignore repeated requests from security to move your ship without incurring a substantial fine???
Anyother action - warning - consequence loops we'd like removing???
You actually talked to your wife......................?
[where is it]

I tried to save time using neutron stars to get where I wanted in my cutter, i flew too close to the sun, it ended in a 30 million rebuy and a new respect for the power of stars, I now panic every time I come across a neutron star, the terror is real.
Fail cascade at it finest!
I'm not entirely unsympathetic; I'll have look into the lack of Interstellar Factors in the Deciat area.
... it's just like real life innit? Where's the escapism?
Hard to really understand what happened here without playing a puzzle game but sounds like you asked to launch from a station then sat there while distracted with real life, you could be single your wife isn't to blame, you just didn't log out to menu when you realized you didn't have the attention to give to the game.
If it was a singleplayer game there'd be a pause option but it hasn't been that way since ED was released. Having a really hard time finding any sympathy for you.
My significant other constantly interrupts my play sessions, but I'm aware the risks and usually log to menu.
Edit: I base out of a detention center and have learned the pros and cons. They're not regular stations and to assume they have a contact for paying your fines to some obscure faction is not what these systems are for.

Marriage is over rated...needs nerfed imo
So instead of saying something unhelpful and self-serving, could you point out the places we should have sympathy for?
Edit: I should also point out that at least OPs loss was less than half a mill. Not enough to quit the game, just enough to not recommend it to friends. Which is okay because it's a known fact any friend or family member you recommend Elite to will play it for maximum of 4 weeks before giving you their account and saying they just don't have the time.
Edit 2:eve online is free and their bgs actually works

I have plenty of sympathy for the circumstance. Zero sympathy for blaming the game for it.
Just played Total War and got my favourite general killed when I went AFK. After that I continued with FIFA and the other team scored lots of goals while I was cooking some eggs. That was so annoying that I started Need for Speed but all the other drivers finished before me when I was answering a call. OP, if you don't like consequences you should start MS Word and talk to that annoying paperclip rather than playing games.
I really don't know what people expect. "Oh, I'm so sorry that happened. Let me hook you up with enough painite to cover the rebuy that your inattention and lack of planning caused. It was totally the game's fault, you're right."
Elite is a game where messing up means losing progress. OP messed up, but he wants to rant about how unfair it is that it had consequences, and blame the game. Maybe if there was a semblance of self-awareness I'd feel for him, but as it stands, with him saying he can't recommend the game to a friend because this happened? Major Payne said it best: "You want sympathy, look in the dictionary between s**t, and syphilis. That's where you'll find my sympathy."
The consequence was that verminstars marriage got nerfed and he's now single with more dollar bills in his hand than most men he knows, if only he could stop his other hand throwing them at the nice ladies he meets.
Edit: as a result he now has carpel tunnel from raining ones he can't accurately hold a target.

Easy trials are boring. I prefer a challenge.
