Without wishing to appear... accusatory... it sounds like you tried what I believe is known as "suicide jumping". An exploit we've fixed, with pretty dramatic consequences :)

Very odd if that's the case.

Sundiving, suicide jumping, whatever it's called: you load up with cargo somewhere far away, crash into the sun, and end up back in the starting system. So you can quickly transport stuff from miles away to the home systems and make a large profit without having to travel. Except you can't, not any more. When you do that, you end up with no ship, no inventory, no cargo, nothing except your money. Which sounds exactly like what happened to you, hence the comment.

No-one else has reported galaxy problems, as far as I know. I'll have a look at your account and see if it sheds any light. If, however, you just crashed into a sun... well, tough, that's what happens now. You lose all your stuff, cos the sun is Quite Hot :)

Try to get debbie to post here and confirm it. Should clear this up by having a witness.

Cor, could someone explain that in a guide in-game.

I kept doing it when I was a noob and thought it was harmless.

It probably was at the time but not anymore. It was used to gain quick cash, but now, it means you lose everything and start from fresh. Just don't go into the sun or even close enough that the orange bar decreases.

This is exactly what happened he had an alien freigher one minute in space then next moment he landed on 420 with nothing. He didn't have time to dive in the sun.
Somehow everything he had disappeared. The logs of planet 420 could also be checked to confirm this.

In space I am Debbie planetside Sheba
