Actually an Epoch game, and it is a Shuttlecraft, but same as a Pod.

Our Corp did an Alien Planet Invasion today, knocked out the planet shields, dampended the Quasar Fuel Ore, took out some fighters. Spent over 63Mcredits doing it. Lost my ship. Went to the Stardock to buy a new one, game freezes up, I was selling my Shuttle and about to buy a new ship when it crashed.

Did I mention I got over 1.8MCredits bounty on my head, I'm Red, over 45K Exp, and not FedSafe.

Can't ping the server, Traceroute fails at their ISP's San. Someone is going to get really rich by SDing me at the Stardock.

Unless the game saves the data as being on the Stardock, and other players cannot attack me. JP, and others, what happens in a situation like this?

I won't post the server's name, I don't want to give away free credits. Not a server that is advertised here I think.

Anyone know what happens, am I safe, or will I get SDed by the next trader to log on when the server gets back up?

When the game realizes you're no longer connected, you get dumped to the sector in whatever ship you're in. In future games, if you're not fedsafe, you're best to get in and out of dock very quickly.

You can bet on being dead when you log in.

I got lucky, server went back up and I logged on and nobody got me. I traded my Shuttle in for a Galaxy Transport.

Only problem was after 68 of my ship mail messages it kicked me off, I spacebared over it before it kicked me out, and got in the game. Then I got out of the game and got back in, and it kicked me out. How do I delete ship mail before getting into the game, or can a GameOp do it for me?

I think it may have something to do with the crash.

You'll need to have the sysop delete the mail file for the game. All mail for all players will be lost, but it's the only way to fix the problem you're describing.

Thanks, he deleted the mail. It appears to work now.
