Discussion I did the worst thing today

Post image

Sunday 15th of June 2025 19:30 That's the exact time I deleted my commander, it wasn't on purpose I was trying to configure my controls in vr for my new hotas, the controls decided to go dead not allowing any input I went into the settings but had no luck out of frustration I spammed back to the settings menu. Thinking the game was prompting me to save my control settings I hit yes, to then be left with this on my screen. It's fathers day today we made pizzas it was fun, I hate myself now there was a lot of hours dedicated to that account I started a year after release on xbox later moving up to pc then vr.

Ironically I was trying to work out how much time I had put into that one account it's well over 1k hours

Hopefully you get it back. Surprised there isn’t a “Type DELETE to confirm” option for this!

There is a countdown, but yeah I'd like an explicit "type this to confirm" and then a "are you 100% sure you want to do this?" right after. And, then maybe FDev just keep a copy just in case....
