My ship just exploded and now I lost it all

[Van R Flyheight]

Scary stuff the rebuy screen. It's most nail biting experience I've had in the game, way more than even the tightest of PvP encounters.

That form as you click the buttons, was I meant to press that, wait did I get it wrong... a loading screen, yes that looks like my ship and it's got all it's modules. Nailed it.

Honestly I pay more attention to that rebuy screen than any tax return, licence form or contract.

The rebuy and shipyard ui displays are still not clear enough imo ...... if you have to re-read the options for more than 30 seconds to fully understand it surely that is unwelcome ? Is the option to choose the sidewinder literal for example, to restart with just that ship ?

No problem if ED was a single player game, just save often and reload, a common strategy for players that dislike any loss.

tldr .. ui zero ambiguity +

Last night, my ship run out fuel, run out of life support and exploded.
I restored my ship (clicked include everything), Save & Quit game.

Launch game today found I lost everything for my Type 6: weapon, upgrade core internal, all optional internals.

T6 for the win. Support will get you sorted.

It's a heart-stopping mini-game in and of itself.

Wow, that's an unnecessarily cynical way to express yourself. Elite is supposed to be entertainment, and Frontier are not there to punish people who misread a screen once. There's another thread today with a guy thanking FDev for undeleting an account his son mistakenly deleted (over the weekend too). You make this kind of think sound like an undesirable weakness, whereas I see a core strength that keeps me a loyal customer.

Why is there no rep button on the mobile version?

Let's say 2 people lose 20k. Both have earned 100k in the past.

One lives in the moment, goes on expensive holidays, fritters away their cash down to 25k and now only has 5k left after the loss.

The other thinks ahead, invests money, is conservative with their spending, sacrifices living in the moment for a better future and has 90k bringing their money down to 70k after the loss.

You suggest the first person should be the higher priority in getting a bailout. I find this attitude to be disgusting in real life where idiots get the government bailouts on their dept and mortgages for living like idiots. Funny how things look from a different perspective.

All hail the capitalism, our god and saviour. Until something bad happens to you. I just hope that you never come in this situation because with your attitude nobody will be there to help you.

with your attitude nobody will be there to help you.

With his "attitude," he probably won't need help in bad times, so your point is kind of moot.

Its still a double standard whether a rich person loses a fortune or a poor person loses 50 bucks. They have both lost money. The rich person may still have sufficient remaining funds as a buffer to whether the lose better than the poor person but that is the only difference. Ethically, its the same, just different order of scales.

Great outlook, and a good motivator to be proactive instead of dependent upon some magical, imaginary parachute.

Ok Op had his problem addressed with the suggestion to contact support.

And then the handbags started flying causing the thread to be closed.
