A commander recently shared a tough setback on the Elite Dangerous subreddit after losing 14 million credits when their fully upgraded Type 7 ship was interdicted and destroyed while transporting silver. Having upgraded from a Type 6 and earning 3 to 4 million credits per trip, the loss was a major blow, leaving them with only 300,000 credits despite enough funds to rebuy the ship. This incident highlights the high stakes of trading runs and the real financial risks posed by PvP or NPC attacks in the game’s open universe.
- Loss occurred during a silver transport mission in a Type 7 ship.
- Player’s credit balance dropped to 300k after rebuying the ship.
