And then ...................

Something went wrong, drastically wrong.........



Ok, back to reality for a bit...

Elite Dangerous is a game, and is fairly new, so from time to time you get little problems, what happened next was more than a problem.

I was coming into a landing as gently as possible as you read in the previous entry but then suddenly the Graphics glitched and I ended up inside the planet, it was like the whole planet moved and swallowed me whole, within seconds BOOM!

OH BUGGERATION!

Devastated wasn't the word I would use, I nearly cried.... I did well I didn't swear outwardly, but my thoughts made the air blue, I just sat there staring at this notification.

Pressing continue I was then faced with the reality that I was 25k away again from my goal.

I contacted Frontier Developments :Customer Support. And explained the situation that I would have excepted if it was my fault, and had crashed it, or an NPC and destroyed me, but to have a Planet actually move wasn't really fair.

In 24 hours I received a message back, apologising and they reimbursed me my costs of rebuy, and place me back to the system I was in.

To quote someone from an Elite Dangerous Facebook group (Mobius PVE) I belong to "If Carlsberg did Customer Support"  I was again happy, I logged back on and was even happier when I noticed the ship was at 100% integrity again.

Well there it is the game failed me but everything turned out ok.

Thanks Frontier for the fantastic service.
