Loitered at pad (talking to wife) couldn’t escape, destroyed,my 800 credit Trespass accident =$450K

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.:D
 
As I stands I can't recommend this game to friends...

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???
 
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.
 
Used Galaxy map to search for Interstellar taxation/payment Center.
None near Deciat show up.
Finished engineering second FSD, couldn’t put original one back in out of storage I just put it into.
Paid 250,000 credits to ‘clean’ it.
Loitered at pad while talking to wife, tried to escape- warning: shield generator attack- destroyed, respawn back at detention center. Borrowed 100,000 credits it seems to pay the 450,000 credits rebuy - what happened to my insurance, who cares.

That was an 800 credit trespass bounty when I thought I could land at a planetfall base but was warned off but too slow to get out of the Huge Trespass Zone.
Could the galaxy map tell me the base was out of bounds before targeting, Frameshifting, arriving and then requesting docking.

Anyways, this is my second account for Exploration, so I’m going to have to do the Road to Riches for Sure now.

Not a good experience.
Crime and punishment changes are worse than Gankers
Cause you’re screwed in your own Private instance.

I can’t imagine recommending this sim to friends right now.
Yes, I’ll play but not pay.
Fixing it is not enough to get back into my wallet.
Let FDev learn to satisfy players again...
It was like the game was playing itself! Stop thief, under attack, warning! You’ve been loaned and transferred
And
Still no interstellar factor at the detention center, really!, Really?
I don’t want Hug, I’m I have no recourse but to suck it up, post on Reddit and make a video.
Yeah, Dem Dinos are sure something.

Fail cascade at it finest! :D

I'm not entirely unsympathetic; I'll have look into the lack of Interstellar Factors in the Deciat area.
 
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.

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

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.
 
As I said....

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."
 
Well there has to be some kind of consequence in game.

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.

PSA: If any of the tea and sympathy people here need to take the witness stand in court to defend themselves, take the Fifth.

I have sat on six juries, and you would be ensuring your conviction. Not joking. Your attitudes ensure that you will not be in a good place during deliberations.

Easy trials are boring. I prefer a challenge.
