Just happened to me too on NA PVE. I finished my ship today and had a 30 min spin. was going exploring tomorrow..My log says the ship of the Dammed killed it...while unmanned, while anchored 100 ft from shore. My neighbor lost theirs too.
I am tired of getting my hard work and time wasted by this friggin game. I have tried to make this work for the last 10 days..but I am now to the point where I have lost my will.
Ohh and someone took half of my claim somehow, same one that lost their ship.(comedic karma) .. I have been online everyday and active .
The devs need to start taking care of QOL quit messing with the people that support their game.
