There was talk in game about another wipe for release (which is kinda expected).
Can Admin or someone tell us roughly when this wipe will come and will it mean everyone starting totally from scratch (knowledge books, xp, ships)?
Just if everything to be wiped anyway in few months then may as well spend more time on other things and devote less time in game for now :).
I don't mind a wipe at all, but some clarification on what will be lost etc would be appreciated as if i work for
Rank xp, crafting xp is safe and guaranteed
Money, resources, upgrades owned and probably ships will definitely get wiped - some ships might get provided as a head start (including Pandora free DLC)
The rest (ship xp, books, skills, etc) wipe status is unknown and will depend on the multiple factors.
Expect the worst
Date unknown. Localization will take some time as well.
