I am currently in a fairly extensive exploration expedition and get to sell my bio data whenever I get within 1000 ly of a carier. (1000 is the magic number for me)

This time I had for 4 billions worth (incl bonus). I haven't sold any cartographic data yet as I'm saving it for someone who mayne can use it for bgs when I get back

Sorry. What do you mean?

We are doing a round-trip around the galaxy yeah, but we are only approximately 1/5 into the route. I started off with a 3 bil ballance so credit wise I think I'm happy. Also I have found a lot of cool bios and registered some new variations into the codex of bios thatbhabe not yet been seen at those locations.

Haven’t played in years but there’s nothing like dying out in the deep. So frustrating losing all the scans, etc.

Man I had so much fun with that game.

It turns out that fdev will usually restore any lost data in this case but only once.

I did die at the start of the expedition and lost data worth 2 bil. I was devastated and very happy when fdev informed me that they could restore the lost data.

Now I realise that i could have lost way more and that it was not that much of a loss really.
