I was playing last night and was getting tired. I must have dozed off as I clicked launch to leave a planetary base. I woke up just in time to see my A rated Cutter explode and ended up with a 38M credit insurance bill, two 100K plus fines and the loss of rep with two of my allied factions! I also had almost a million in bounty vouchers that have disappeared in to the ether.
Dozing off whilst pad loitering is NOT a good idea - that’s going to take a few delivery missions (or some skimmer missions) to get all those credits back - oh well, at least it wasn’t real money.
On the bright side, I have now found out that the insurance claim still preserves all of your materials AND my engineered enhancements - been collecting materials for ages.

LyonhaertMy eyes! The pain!
Just run some cold water over them. In the absence of water cold beer should also work.

When you get board with that, we'll still be around. Give us a ringy-dingy we might make the game a bit more interesting for you.

CciggieHm? Well, I guess I would like elite dangerous to be more interesting.
Then you'll have to move the needle more towards "dangerous".
