silly mistake (even after 4 years)

[CMDR CPT. Boris]

So mining those void opal, because reasons

It was 1am yesterday, my miner conda was almost full (arounf 110t of opal, 40t of low diamonds and few others things) and then i decided to leave, go back to the station to sell all these rocks to make a comfortable profit before going to bed.

izi peezi

why not turning off the night vision, i won't need it anymore... wait that's not the night vision binding... OH NOOO it's the JETISSON ALL CARGO bind, how do i stop it ???

panic all over my desk and cockpit, i hear explosion everywhere, i even ditched the few remaining limpets, what a disaster, a nightmare.
the few limpets that were active successfully saved few tons but it was already too late.

I felt so stupid.. why did i even bind jetisson all cargo in the first place... anyway, probably one of my biggest mistake

don't be me

Hold F to pay respects.

That's a really terrible cautionary tale, thanks for the warning!

It's actually one of the things I like about ED; it's complex enough that you can still mess up badly even when you've got long experience.

Lesson one in E: D unbind "jettison all cargo" button.

Seriously, that was an expensive lesson.

o7 CMDR and fffffffffffffffffffffffffly safe

I don't think jettison all isn't bound by default anymore.

That said, it could do with a double tab confirmation, like supercruise emergency drop.

Been a cmdr for 4 years and still do lots of silly things, if it conforts you

First thing I unbound - never saw a use for it, won’t give cargo to pirates.
Better to die that they get nothing than to give them so much as an empty cargo container.

Even better that they should die that I should collect a bounty.

well, noticing the night vision was still on, i frenetically and repeatedly push the button.
i was doomed anyway

I did change my eject all cargo to left ctrl-C so I have to press two keys and no other bound keys near it but I might go ahead and just get rid of it completely. In the 3 short months I've been playing and reading forum posts I think this is the 4th one where this has occurred. Truly a disaster waiting to happen and I feel for your loss of both time and goodies.

You need to map it to something like this...

If not for this accident, it would be one more forgettable minning excursion.
This way you have some tale to share!
