What the hell? When did this get introduced?
He's just saying he's been away from the system for a week, doesn't seem like hyperbole to me. Anyway, OP, it sounds like you're sort of just burnt out on the game. Maybe a longer break would help.

I misquoted. Was supposed to quote the thesis bit.
Very good point- as the saying goes... "all your eggs in one basket"
Au contraire, playing ED gives you the freedom for doing what you will, instead of scripted stuff.
And imho the experience you are having is absolutely working as intended. That' s how galaxy politics affect us. Recently I was stranded with no fuel inside a station, not being able to refuel due to the new crime and pun system. In the end I had to ask for help so someone had to come and help. I had a nice experience in the end. This is not your common console friendly game
Another one of your useless reply's. Can you accept my friend request so I can blast your face off.
thank you
Its a good question.
Obviously, I quit bothering already in 1.4, after they made reputation decay while you're logged out and added that ludicrous card deck they called "power play", connected with even more repetitive grind than the CG's already were.
But in January 2018, I saw a YouTube video about passenger transports and thought "wow, FD has at least loosened up on the money supply, I could give it another shot and see if more ships make it more interesting, maybe... Then I found out about engineering and rather liked that. If you weren't trying for the max on everything, you could do a grade 5 engineering mod in one to three rolls, which would improve things by leaps and bounds... that was cool!
But otherwise, I'm not too much into playing Privateer II without the story...
You really do have a point - I've been thinking I may not play any computer games for much longer. There's really nothing new, other than improving graphics, I haven't seen anything unique, thats not about fighting somebody or something, or that contains an idiotic capitalism simulation, as if humans are incapable of coming up with a better system that's not a total fraud. Or anything that's not mostly about killing things. Embedding the Kill:Reward motivation into every game is really questionable, if you think about it.
Another post by someone who didn't understand what "Sim" meant before they jumped into Space.
No, actually I was really into what I was doing - otherwise I wouldn't have had the drive to go through hell and high water to get all those materials. I can't decide which one was hell and which one was high water, between the game activities and the countless google searches required...
After this materials hunting ordeal, I just want to finish my exploration ship and use it - not be bothered by my station developing issues with basic functionality...
Funnily enough I've also come to this conclusion. Though I'll be honest, I'll always come back to E: D at least once in a while. It's amazing how much useful stuff (and interesting real-life stuff) you can do instead of playing a computer game.
I just like the static sims from years ago - with a story - like Privateer II, Independence War, The Jupiter Incident etc...
Please note, that I backed exclusively for the promised OFFLINE SINGLE PLAYER game that needed no connection.
Now I can't play unless I can get online and I don't have the choice if I want to install a patch or not.
So they gave me the "solo" play option instead...
I should be able to kick all the troublesome NPCs off the server ...oh, never mind
Then you should just transfer your ship and the modules you need to Shinrarta Dezhra or any other station which is not in lockdown and continue your quest from there.
I can just hear the dev discussion
"Let's make a station go into lockdown"
"Why?"
"It will stop players from being able to do anything!"
"I don't get it, won't that just annoy them"
"Absolutely...let's do it"
"Let's make a station go into lockdown"
"Why?"
"It will stop players from being able to do anything!"
"I don't get it, won't that just annoy them"
"Absolutely...let's do it"
You make that sound simple....
Thanks to the minuscule storage limit of 60 items, I had to store a lot of engineered parts on extra hulls. moving a lot of that isn't cheap, you know...
After a long day of engineering efforts at about midnight, your headquarters loosing function, when you're finally ready to put it all together and your head is already smoking from all the lists of materials and modules you need haul here and there, its just over the line of what I can or still want to handle in additional logistics!
And what kind of logic is this? I can't access it locally, but if I move to another system, they'll ship it post haste?
For half the re-buy cost?
Lock down suddenly doesn't apply?
This game is like working for FedEx all day and when you get home, there's no dinner as your fridge is locked, unless you move into a neighboring house, where you bizarrely *can* access your fridge, if you feel like waiting around long enough!

It's 120 Module storage now.

Go play something else, OP. Jesus.
It's part of the game OP, and has been for a couple of years.
I suspect you already knew that though, given how long you've been playing for.
As others have said, fly to a nearby stations that isn't in lockdown, and transfer your stuff to there.

Oh dear. In this game you are not the center of the Universe. It's that type of game. Nothing will wait for you. Or ask "are you ready?". Things will just happen. Lockdown means lockdown. There are means for you to get your modules back, getting out of troubles is part of a gameplay. Even if this game had single player you'd still complain, because core mechanics that allow these things to happen would still be there.
