Sometimes, a virtual object can just disappear from view, similar to something we physically can't find in a cluttered room. Why? Lots of possible reasons.
Potential Causes of Missing Ships:
- Wrong Inventory: Are you sure you're looking in the correct place? Check and double check.
- Temporary glitch: Sometimes things just glitch, like a little computer hiccup, temporary setback.
- Update problem: Game updates sometimes have unintended consequences. (like when your old video games aren't compatible with newer PC systems).
- Missing parts/ upgrades: Perhaps you don't have all necessary ship components (some components are locked, waiting to get bought from shops. ).
- Purchased from wrong platform: This happened with me! (I bought a ship on Steam but it wasn't the same ship on the other site!). Always double check, this saves much disappointment!
Common Mistakes (My Own Experiences Included!)

- Confusing real life/virtual life: You might be thinking your real-life items are on another game-world, or your real-life things disappeared but it's okay in this case!
- Lack of sleep and rest: Getting adequate rest is essential, for both game and life!. (This problem is not uncommon).
