I ain't worried about anything, I was just curious what the developer's plan was so I could work out what to plan to do.

To be honest I was having quite alot of fun just burning around in a Sidewinder knowing that if I died I could get back to that point with no credits at all.

I'm going to get a Cobra, I reckon, and then just pimp it out, learn to dogfight so when final release comes out I can defend myself better against the greener pilots.

It'll be good for me to actually learn the weapon mechanics, at the moment i have 1 kill to my name and that was something that interdicted me on the first jump I ever did.

I would be amazed if everything wasn't wiped several times between now and release. I expect everything will be wiped for release day as well. Its unheard of for anyone to start a game on release day with anything more than someone coming in from a release day purchase.

I can see benefits in not resetting on release day, such as spreading people out a bit.

Yeah that's the usual philosophy. They don't want all the early content getting hammered and they wan't a few seasoned people to reach end game first so it can be tested earlier before the main mass arrive at it.

After Standard Beta... Character Wipe?

Do we get to keep the money and gear we have collected during the beta or will it be wiped? I'm assuming it will be wiped. Does anyone know for certain?

There will be at least one more wipe, possibly more. When we move into the Gamma phase, we'll be wiped one final time. Depending on what the requirements are as new features are added, we may be wiped a few more times before Gamma arrives.

noob question data reset after end of beta?

couldnt find an answer from the mods or company. I know at each beta release the data is reset however will there be a prerelease beta where we can get a head start?

second question: in beta i kept getting owned by players and i mean royally owned me just starting with my first or second load and getting shot to hell. What game mechanics are there going to be to stop noob hunting? since in the long term this will turn alot of people off. Its one of the reasons i no longer play online consoles .. fed up being owned by some 12 yr old who has all summer to become one with the collective.... cant even send them to their room when they are in france etc LOL

Try single player online. You will not see other players, but NPC will grief you as well.

Not sure about the beta reset.

You can expect a beta reset but i dont think there is one anounced. I have never been griefed or hunted like you say. Maybe you had some bad luck there buddy. I also havent seen it happen or heard reports of people experiencing it in the beta so you might want to just jump in and see where it goes. Good luck!

It sounds like you were minding your own business trading? Did you mean Premium Beta? Since then we have police and I haven't seen any station camping like there was before. As they said progress will be wiped but it is worth going multiplayer, IMHO, so that as the game evolves you learn and when it matters you know how the game works.

As I understand it (I must stop using that phrase), Gamma will hopefully be the final version, released to backers before retail. If all is well, there will be no wipe during or after Gamma (of course, nothing is set in stone).
