Hello Cometborne,
Not to start an argument or being rude.
But wouldn't this be giving FD more money to work around a problem by ourselves which they created in the first place?
It seems to me like "putting good money after bad" or "rewarding mistakes".
Unless of course we can have a second account without paying money for it.

Have fun, fly safe. o7

Nope. We are cheap S.O.B.'s and not one of us wants to start over, even if it was only as a bank account. Now if you are offering to BUY us an account as a Gift, then please do. :P

I have managed to wrest Vengeance from a few ships but I am not done. And I need a few more components (10 Chemical Distillery's) to get my require 4 rolls on a Grade 4 FSD, but with the crappy jump range of The Right Hand of Vengeance, I may get to level 5 handing in Exploration data first :lol:

Probably. Thanks for the heads up. :D

Doing Imperial missions to get my navy rank up in Eurybia. I'm right in assuming that in a wing if my wingman blows up a generator it won't complete the mission for me?

Actually, in January when I was on that grind, if another player blew it up while I was still coming into weapons range, it completed for me. So unless something changed with a patch, it should work. Not as sure about scanning.

First of all, feel free to be as rude as necessary if you think I am talking BS.

And yes, you are fully right, there is an element of "rewarding mistakes" in buying a second account to work around the lack of storage. In the end, it boils down to the simple question what annoys you more: Having your game experience ruined by the fact that you always get interdicted because of the RNGneer cargo, or having to reward FD for their poor design.

Oh, and for transparency: I do not have a second account, and I do not intend to buy one.

Nope, I suspect it was for a corvette I lost at the weekend since the amount is rougly it's insurance value.
