Good morning, @Quigonjum.
First of all, I would encourage you to begin recording your Empyrion gameplay. From my experience, the majority of the most expensive bugs can be easily solved if you drop a link to a video of the loss happening in your ticket 
We have a guide on recording here: Recording your gameplay in Empyrion
Second, Marko is probably right, but let me answer the cheating accusation anyway. It’s unfortunately not something we can really help without proof.
To quote our rules:
And finally, what Marco suggested, which sounds plausible. Unfortunately we still can’t help with that, since our policy is that we’re willing to make one blind exception per player, in cases where our logs are unclear. That I already did for you recently, sadly.
Only if you have a video of you dropping the armor, then we might be able to help.
