Losing points contributed to Red launch by supports

[Paulo1845]

Not sure if this is a new thing but I’ve just had a private red launch on the pad. I used 2 support accounts to put in 2988 points. I was about to launch by putting the remainder in with my main game and watched with horror as I clicked the cross on the supports and my points total reduced to 0. Ahhh!

Forgive me if this is a long established thing as I don’t monitor everything that changes, but I’m sure this was possible not long ago. It was Business As Usual for many of my launches.

Brand new. Apparently some people were paying others to put in points, then bumping them so they could get first.

Check the 6-28 update thread.

Apparently this is how it works now. You kick someone from your launch, you lose the points he/she added.

Many thanks for setting me straight. I need to change my operator manual!

Thanks also to @crescent moon - such underhand practice in the skies. Who knew?!!

Didn't noticed that. Did you get the points back to your support?

Can’t say for absolute certainty as I can’t precisely recall how many PEBs I had on my support prior to loading, but I think I’ve lost the lot. Won’t make that mistake again!

I read the news now, it seems you don't get the points back. I was wondering why I have 200 new messages and now I read THE news...

Sure wish I had too!
