Because selling data is also a great way to build up your reputation with the faction in control of the station where you sell it. While you're out there, scan a few of the local systems out there too, so you've got something to sell when you get back home. If not, then I would also suggest, for next time, that when you accumulate enough data to constitute a sizable chunk of cash and before you decide to go and do something riskier than normal, go on a data-cashing voyage: deliberately fly more than 20 LY from your "home systems" and cash them in there. Even if you habitually never stray very far, it's likely that one end of your "personal bubble" is more than 20LY away from its opposite side. Every station has a UC office, even the tiniest outposts. Let it become part of your post-landing ritual, like "Always check the bulletin board before selling the cargo, in case somebody is willing to pay extra for what I happen to be already carrying". If you're the habitual explorer and find yourself constantly carrying data around from "unexplored" systems you pass through, always - always - click on Universal Cartographics whenever you dock, and sell anything that it allows you to sell. So in that sense, you can be thankful that you have learned this lesson at a relatively early stage of the game.
#Elite dangerous as i approach dock it disappears how to#
Dying because you jumped into the heart of a contact binary star or, more embarrasingly, because you've been out for so long you've forgotten how to dock and you crash your ship into the starport, can cause a long-range explorer to lose weeks of exploration data, worth millions. So while I've never had your particular problem, I do feel your pain.ĭeath destroying your exploration data is a fact in the game that you will have to get used to, especially if later on you decide you wnat to explore the outer reaches of the galaxy and spend weeks out there. Personally, I don't have a concept of "home space" I'm a permanent vagabond, exploring the entire sphere of inhabited space and beyond, so every day I'm always more than 20LY away from where I was yesterday. I was having a really great time slowly building my way out. and probably not going to play for a while, which is sad. Now, other than my ship, I feel like I'm starting all over again. I'm sure I'm not going to make any fortune off of the starting systems anyways. Or at the very least let us 'sell' the data at any station, even if it's for 0 cr if less than 20ly away. Or have separate personal data and sellable data. It should not lose data up to the last station visit you visited. Very tedius and time consuming, but I felt so proud when I finally found it, and rushed right off to a station to make sure I wouldn't lose it if I got killed. One system I spent hours just tracking down one missing planet.
I've been having a great time with the game, but i really really really really really don't want to have to go back and spend days re-scanning all the stuff I had on my maps, just to probably lose it all again and repeat this over and over. And I really don't care so much about selling the data as having explored it and having it in my system maps so I can fly back to them and all that, and just all the work it represents to me. But I've not traveled more than 20ly out all this time (none would buy any of my data). I'm sure this is nothing when you've gotten to the point of exploring 100s of ly's away. :-(((ĭoing some searching online and seems it's not when you go to a station but when you 'sell' it that it's saved (though I could swear when I started playing the game some tutorial or something told me your lose your data if you die before getting to a station, with nothing about selling it). Then I get killed this time out bouty hunting and all of a sudden all my system data is gone! Stars I scanned and planets I discovered all the way back to when I started. I've been playing for going on 70 hours, docking plenty of times, saving and quiting, playing over the span of more than a week, exploring the various systems near where I started.
