Just a random timer, where you explode, I can’t think of any point in participating in that …. I’m assuming you _want_ people to participate? Is it inducing people to participate, when throwing 5 mil in the trash, and not participating in Abyssal makes more financial sense than actually participating? ---

How about you learn the game first before complaining? Wrecking hits are part of the tracking formula forever and all NPCs that use turret based weapon systems can do them. You should always have enough buffer to survive an unlucky streak of 2 wreckings in short succession, either via extreme resistances (HACs) or raw hitpoints (passive Gila, or using Damage Control Modules) basic fitting rule… Besides that, Tessera Drone Battlecruisers should always be kept at long range, where they cannot reach the player ship any more. Looking at your damage values clearly shows that you violated that rule. Either because you don’t know or you didn’t care. Now you now. Not sure you care. Dying is part of making progress in the abyss and if a Tessera killed you, other spawns in the higher tiers will absolutely obliterate you too. Thats why the payments are so good, you will have to cover some losses, probably. ---

> [@Rheinhard\_Kurtz](#): > > Just a random timer, where you explode, I can’t think of any point in participating in that …. It’s not random. It’s 20 minutes and applies to all Abyssal space. The space is unstable. The timer runs in the top left corner of your screen. Your ship will also be destroyed if you go too far from the ‘pocket’. ---

Have you ever played other games before in which attacks sometimes are ‘critical hits’ that dealt extra damage? Crits are a common game mechanic. MMOs like World of Warcraft have it, MOBAs like League of Legends have it, FPS games like Team Fortess 2 (if you like some older games) have it, even pen a paper games like Dungeons and Dragons have critical hits. EVE too has critical hits, they’re called ‘wrecking’ hits here. You got crit. If you wish your ship to live, have enough hitpoints to survive not only regular attacks but the occasional wrecking shot too. ---

> [@Rheinhard\_Kurtz](#): > > Seriously just ■■■■ right off Take your own advice, troll. You didn’t know what you were doing, nor know enough about the mechanics of the game to complain. Good riddance. ---
