Re: Oook.
My account balance was not re-credited, but after 90 minutes of grind trading, back to the old balance without too much hassle (nothing that a bunch of missiles dropped onto the odd ill-advised pirate couldn't handle).
And yes, I do use missiles, as my trading vessel (a Lakon-6) is about as useful in a proper fire-fight as a plastic sword, and as I have stripped the ship of shields to give over space for more cargo (£$profit$£), a quick kill is preferable. Missiles tend to end most engagements quite rapidly in my experience. Only one ship lost in combat to date, due to collision rather than direct fire. All other losses down to pilot error (space-dock walls are quite unforgiving). Late-night beer might also have been a factor.....
