:angry: Is it just me or does anyone else find the concept of losing money completely ridiculous? For instance I was fortunate enough to bring down/destroy three of my enemies consecutively and I received 50 coins for each one I killed. Then I crashed and lost all 150 of those hard-earned coins. I also find myself, quite frequently (in 'destroy enemy airport' missions), being surrounded by enemies at my airport. This means that I am repeatedly being spawn killed and losing 50 coins each time for it, even though I'm totally powerless to do anything about it. I also lose money through crashing glitches. Said glitches are:

1. Respawning and immediately bursting into flames, apparently having crashed
2. Respawning on an aircraft carrier and falling thought it, thus crashing into the lake

If we are going to lose money through circumstances as ridiculous as these then I can't see why we should lose money at all. I don't expect Dogfight to be a walk in the park and I don't think that earning money should be easy - it should require skill - but we shouldn't lose copious amounts of cash because of one silly mistake or because of a glitch. That, to me, takes the fun away and makes it less 'challenging' and more downright frustrating.

You should only be losing points and coins for the current run. A respawn crash or spawnkilling, although they suck, shouldn't be costing you any losses. Watch your numbers. Also you can "reclaim" lost points after being shot down if you chute safely to the ground. Landing on your base/carrier also locks in your points/coins. It frustrating, but we all deal with it. Eventually, you'll have more coins than you know what to do with and have nothing to spend them on.

I thought the problem had been solved but it's happening again. I've just lost 1000 points in one game, some of which I am happy to admit is down to error, but certainly not all of it. Also, isn't losing 150 points for crashing a bit steep, especially seeing that sometimes the crash isn't your fault and you often don't get 150 points for a couple of kills?

Only respawn on runaway will NOT save your points!

There are only three ways to save your points/money:

1. You land in parachute
2. You use a service like repair or reload. Also if you bomb a hangar you get repaired.
3. You finish a mission. No matter if you win or lose.

If you kill 20 enemies you can lose ALL points as long you don't do one of these three steps. If you crash or someone kills you in parachute you will lose some points directly.
But after respawn on runaway are your points still unsaved. If you leave game now or you would lose connection, then you also would lose all points for these 20 kills.

I always use a simple trick to save my points then. I just hit the fire button when I take off for a second. When I hear the first shot I land again and hit brake. I get reloaded all points are save now.

If you have doubts then look my stats in the rankings. I found out this trick very late. But you can see a different to many other players. What shows that you can save a lot of money on the way to MoRAF. ;)

And as far I know will zuperman change this system.
All your points are saved directly how it is in Dogfight mode: free4all
Then you will never again lose your points.
