======= NOTICE FOR HELP =======

**What happened:** I put a CV and an SV into stealth mode in ECC Space and got taxed for both.  
**Player(s) with issue:** Phoenix  
**Server:** NA  
**Time (cb:time):** 02 March 2018 9:05  
**Playfield:** ECC Space  
**Structure Name(s):** Arms Race (CV) Socket Rocket (SV)  
**Structure ID(s):** 33585802 (CV) 33585801 (SV)  
**How can we help you now:** My understanding is that stealth mode takes the ship out of the play field and therefore, exempts the ship from being taxed. Ideally, I request the credits be returned. This is the 2nd time I’ve lost 9.7 million credits (see [I need help please (taxes on ECC)](https://forum.empyrion-homeworld.net/t/i-need-help-please-taxes-on-ecc/10521), I was told the credits would be returned, but haven’t seen anything). Thank you!

Also to note, I stealthed my ships 15 minutes before the reset.

Hey,

make sure you stay a few minutes after stealth in the Playfield, or don’t do it right before the restart.

I wrote you a pm. But I see I gave you too less. Why did you not tell me directly?

I refunded the missing 9 mil and also the tax for the above ships from today.

Hey Jascha, I see it now, thank you so much! I did try to PM you for the first ticket I submitted, but I should be good to go so long as I stay away from ECC +/- an hour from 9 AM restart.

Thanks!
