Hi All,
So after the data reset and a few delightful issues getting going again, i'm finally making money again and on my way to getting a decent ship. I'm wondering if anybody can confirm if there will be another data reset between beta and full game.
I'm praying to god that there won't be because I don't think I can take it again, and I think starting every player from the same point (mentioned as a reason in the last newsletter) is a moronic idea.
As a user who has had an amazingly difficult time getting going without the use of third party trade assistant tools, to me the idea of placing every player in the same boat, fighting over the same resources / ships in a conflict zone is just the worst idea. How many people playing the game for the first time do you think will leave because, like me, they just can't find a decent way to make money and are stuck with the starting ship.
They also reserved the right to perform a reset during Gamma if need be but hoped that it wouldn't come to that. I think it would have to be something serious by that time though, like maybe another credit exploit being found.Come Gamma we ALL will lose any progress we have made.
You got a game that is in-development. If you are uncomfortable with starting over as new features come in then you should wait until the game is done before playing.
The game is not conceived for people of this sentiment. If it means a loss of players then that's too bad. The game has it's own principles of what it wants to be. It's up to the player to change their own attitude to get involved in the game, not for the game to be just right for them.How many people playing the game for the first time do you think will leave because, like me, they just can't find a decent way to make money and are stuck with the starting ship.

Who wouldn't? Do you want to fly the Sidewinder for ever?
