Minor patch upgrade wipes weapons, ammo, components?

[Esctasy]

I saved much of my UEC to buy components when 3.12 released because they always get wiped during major patches.
But this is the first time a minor patch wiped most of my components. About 7M of components down the drain. Is this going to be a thing moving forward, wipes for every minor patch released?


Edit:
I obtain the highest rep for both Crusader and Hurston. Grinding dozens of 30k ERT HammerHead missions, now they are all gone. What's the point of rep if it won't be saved haha.
/end rant

This happened in the 3.9? 3.10? patch? I bought a bunch of stuff, and with an update BOOM a bunch of stuff went missing. This (losing components) seemed to happen randomly, and in varying amounts, between people.

CIG recognized it was a problem, and in one of the subsequent patches was able to replace most (but not all) of it, after reconciling their databases.

I would get on the Issue Council, see if anything there is recent...if not, put up a new entry. CIG needs to know about database problems, or else the game will always be a mess.

Yep, can confirm that this random crap happens with small updates. I'm usually one of the lucky sods who gets to keep all his stuff with major patches... and then it gets randomly jumbled up with smaller subsequent patches. Mostly armor and weapons are affected, since all my components keep disappearing and reappearing since 3.9 so I don't even bother anymore. I just use what I have randomly. Usually some ship weapons from rentals and such lol

Yep, me too, preatty lucky with the major one, but I suffer a lots of component loss during minor ones...
This time I've lost all my FPS weapon ammo and abount 50% of the ships installed components.... at least it was better then the 3.11.1 release where I lost ALL of the ship intalled components

I lied, I still have my BH rep! Just had to do all the Certs over.
On the bright side, they jacked up all combat missions to 300% payout.
My ERT bounty mission takes under 3 mins to do and pays out 87500 UEC. That's just nuts.
So if you want to buy that ship with UEC, now is the time to do it before it gets nerfed again.

Edit:
The VHRT missions can be done continuously, like one after another forever. It pays around 65k. You can easily do 20 missions in 1 hour.
1.3M an hour. You can pick up a Cutlass in an hour :p

50 sec to travel to target. 1-2 mins wait time for target to appear. 5 sec to kill target.

Just to spped up this section: fly away form the quantum marker to abount 10Km, then start to move closer to the quantum beacon again, target should then spawn.
The bug is due to the fact then now you exit QT much much closer then before, and the spawn action doesn't trigger, so you just need to re-approach the location to have it work.

I'll give it a try. Spawn time I notice varies a lot. Sometimes it's instant, others 20sec, and then there are those that take 2 mins.

Oh and I jumped the gun. It seem the missions did increase pay by 300%, however, it's now 3 bounties you have to kill. You save a little time from picking up new missions but that's about it.

 

[Black Sunder]

My upgrades got wiped.

 

[Doyzer]

My upgrades and armor stayed for both 3.12 patches but was wiped in 3.11.1

It seams reputation does effect other mission as well: this morning I've taken an SPK infiltrated mission for a pay of 21k... 3 times the normal one.
I'm very please of this reputation system, its add a mening to the constant dedication on some kind of missions or gameplay

I lost all of my HHs Revenants at 3.11 patch?

but I suffer a lots of component loss during minor ones...

Yeap, after each minor patch I must fly over to Grim Hex to get my wasp armor back, but now I noticed that all equipped components also are gone

That is a nice one, I must try that. The 1 - 3 minutes wait time are tedious, although, escort ships spawn after I killed the main target, except with the Valkyrie missions. They are a bit tougher for the Wildfire to handle, giving the escorts more time to spawn.

 

[marcsand2]

Only 1 solution left then: unequip all components and weapons after you are done playing. It saves you a lot redundant components if you try to equip every ship optimal. You only need 1 set of each component.

 

[Grimbli]

I kept everything this time, but the minor patch made me remake character and also lose a refinery job(?)

 

[GPcustoms]

Wow this thread had me get up and check my inventory Fortunately I am pleased to have found all my expensive ship modules available to re install. All my personal weapon ammo was however gone with the wind. I hope you all have a productive and happy Christmas Gang

Huh, you got BH missions?
After the patch, I've only got the certs. Haven't seen a single BH mission yet. D:
Then again, all the combat missions have just ridiculous payouts and even the more tedious missions take like 3-4 minutes total.
I got no idea what's going on, these payouts are just ridiculous.
Kinda like it like this, now if only mining and trading gave comparable profits.

It's a bug that many people are experiencing including myself. At first, only the certs appear. Then after you finish the certs, still no BH missions. For me, I must of hoped a dozen servers traveling between Crusader and Hurston. Then I finally received 1 Group Pro Tem BH mission. After I did that the rest slowing appeared. I didn't do a reset or anything like that, it just fixed itself (in my case).

Edit:
I suspect they want it easier for players to obtain ships ingame so they can be involve with the attack on stanton? Plus try out the combat, some people don't combat in the game, they play the mining and trading.

The Warden, a $260 ship, can be obtained in a few days of playing. That's really good. I got a Retaliator & Andromeda on my 2nd account with about 3-4 days of grinding :p

I think CIG simply balance out the reward: if a simply delivery mission with no risks involv pay you 8k, there is no reason why a combat mission to clear a station of criminals, that involve getting shot at and potentialy die, pay you only 7k. Even worst for BH where you also put your ship on the line.
If before 3.12 the more reliable way to make cash was mining and eventually treading (server 30k allowing....) now BH and general combat missions are a good way too... about time I whould say...

Hmm, yeah, I got the pro tem mission, after I did that, I started getting group BH missions from novakrov group. Also unlocked novakrov group rank, which started going up by doing the BH missions.
Think the Pro Tem mission is now more important after the patch.
