Lost 100,000 EC!!!

From my combat log:

[4:38] You lost 100,000 Energy Credits

[4:38] Started new assignment "Bribe Federation Sector Transit Controller".

[4:39] Cancelled assignment "Bribe Federation Sector Transit Controller".

Yes, I started that DOFF mission without reading properly but I immediately cancelled it when I realized it cost me almost all my saved EC. I did NOT get the EC back! Did the DOFF put it on his own bank account or what? I need that EC to refit my crew now at level 41...

Fix this Cryptic. Return all assets if a player aborts a mission!

    Just a point... you started a mission involving Bribery, and you're complaining about theft...

    But yes, it should have been returned...

    Good point and I can see the irony :)

    I don't mind the 100,000 but since Cryptic has hinted of large money sinks in the future, the next time it might be 100,000,000 EC and that would hurt a little. Yes, I should've read more carefully and I have only myself to blame but those mission descriptions are a little like the EULA... ;)

    i think it would help if they would just move the items and EC you need to start the mission to the top, above the DOff's, instead of ...all the way down, possibly with scrolling involved so you don't notice it.


    But yeah, if aborted it should better give those back.

    Thanks for finally catching this bug we've been reporting for a week now. Same thing happens with ANY mission you pay ec up front so change them all while you're at it. Commodities return just fine, its just ec that's the problem.

    I'm happy with the way it is. Sorry for your 100k EC !

    But the way it works is kinda good for the game mechanic and lets people think. Example: you start a DOff mission, you loose 100k. Your assignments are full. Then you see a way better new DOff mission in a different sector and can think about wether it's wise to cancel your current mission, accept the loss and then accept the new DOff mission for a better reward. This way you have to think about how it all works, maybe save some assignments and not just right away accepting everything that comes across your way.
