It's simple.... don't concentrate for a second & get your souped up Cobra with a cargo of meds snagged on the wires that surround the exit to a station, try everything to get free, forwards, reverse, strafe, just as you boost away get destroyed by Wingrove Station, because obvs' it deserved a lethal response !!
Pay 78,000 credits for your old load out....
Respawn in Wingrove, head to Azerban city with your very lucrative cargo of meds that i've just bought AGAIN, stop off at the Eranin Nav Point to check for pirates, whilst boosting to keep one within 2km so i can K-Warrant scan him, run directly in to that tiny tiny nav beacon.... insta death....

Funnily enough this isn't a complaint :) all entirely my own fault, i deserved it, but i was a little bit ****ed off :taz:
In my case, take one pretty buffed Asp, and rip through the exit of Azeban City, miss everything nicely, except for the very slightest touch of a Type-9 and hit the wires at 150 speed. Write-off.
500K insurance required, 330K in the wallet, they loan me the extra 198K or so at 10% interest.
At least I still have my ship and loadout but with 1000CR I need to pay back 220K.
Ah well, my own fault as well.
It was fun, and good to know a loan is always possible.

LOAN ? oooo where is that option ? hopefully i won't need it, 80k loadout with 800k in the bank, but i never remember seeing that option when i DID need it ?
On a side note, i do hope Star Citizen is AT LEAST as ruthless as this on the docking they give us control of !
Yeah I'd never seen the loan thing before, it must have been a server side update recently and it saved me having to remove some of my expensive parts to get below my CR count at the time. Irony was I could have bought a reinforced hull plate set at that station a few hops before. Of course I also planned to go to bed 10 mins before the crash.

And you were worries when I took the controls :)
Yeah I know, I'm clearly better talking others through flying than doing it myself :S
I think they need to put some hazard tape around those wires! It won't be long before some hurts themselves if they're not careful!

It's station security that stings a bit !! .... a slightly extended time between warnings and DEATH would be nice, it kinda goes, 5 seconds stuck "please move along", 30 seconds "200 credit fine", another 30 seconds "400 credit fine but before you can read the message DEATH !!" :blink:
If stuck, quit the game. Stuck has to be a bug, exiting puts you out in space.

I'm back on track after my accident. I still have 60K of a loan to pay off but I have 400K. You pay it back in 10% chunks of each trade or mission reward so it can take a while to repay even though you may have the cash.
I've pretty much upgraded the Asp as far as I'll go this beta. Surprised it only has class 1 and 2 hard points but they are all close to each other and facing forward so 6 multi cannons does the trick.
I'll get a Frame Signature tracker next and chase some bounty.

Yeah i need to trade my K-Warrant scanner for a Frame Signature one, kinda sick of bounties jumping out when i have them all but dead.... sadly i'm on holiday for Beta 3 release, well not very sad actually as well, I'M ON HOLIDAY !! ... but it does mean i'll miss the 1st 10 days of Beta 3, and since i leave on Saturday i've stopped trying to make money and am just practicing combat as not enough time to raise enough cash for an Asp or Anaconda before i leave.
Nice to know how that loan works, cheers for info.
