Restarting game After Beta.
- Thread starter Lestat
- Start date
If and when one switches from their current platform to another there is a cost involved in buying the game. Where as if one just wants to start from scratch on their current platform, there's a spot to click on in the main menu that will do just that and it doesn't cost a dime. The difference is, clicking on the restart from scratch menu doesn't allow a transfer of any assets as one can do if and when switching platforms allows. Which is a one time and one time ordeal. And then it's only assets, not rank, no ships, etc etc etc.
You can always do a "soft reset".
Sell all but your most expensive ship, then go on a really bad PvP rampage with a "never give up, never surrender!" attitude until you run out of cash.
Then click the freewinder button and wallah, fresh start, no engineer or rank grind.
Of course, you can just suicide yourself broke, but it's not really that fun.

I have only one alt account, and I bought it for exploration.
Now that the True Scientists have taken over, I might do a clean save on the alt account. No need for more than one alt account for me.

Not a chance. Haven't even made Elite in combat or exploration on the same game-save since Gamma 2014. I'm playing the long game.
I'll possibly buy an alt account in the sales and start with that, but there is no way I could bring myself to reset my triple elite (not exploited) 4bn admiral king 20x g5 engineers main CMDR...
And to think how many "I-lost-my-new-Anaconda-to-an-OPNPC-so-I-hate-this-game I QUIT!!!111" posts we get and you're just having a chilled and fun time after something 10 times worse.

Depends on how you feel I guess. I do this on all the games I play. Elite, Skyrim, even some MMO type games.

I love to play this game at an easy pace. After 4 years i haven´t collected a billion credits, i am only single Elite status (in exploration) and i have only 5 ships in my fleet. Will i start over? No, never - And i like my in game character as he is and what was achieved. Looking forward to fill my Codex with loads of new entries though.

Damn I am definitely not trying, got over 1900 hours in the game and don't have an Anaconda (or a Cutter or Corvette) - but then I don't want any of the big three although I have the funds to buy one of each
Quite the same for me. I'm playing since Dec. 2014 and owned an anaconda 2 or 3 months ago for exploring. Now the ship is cheaper than the stock one
, and I'm still trying to find the best setup for the void, min. 50 lys.I'm playing the game slowly, I've didn't make any runs in sothis (?) to get billions of credits in a short time.
The route is the goal (?) Is that the correct description in English?
I won't restart, too, even though I tink I have too many rebuys.

Thought about it long and hard, but since I won't buy a second account because I'd miss a lot of paintjobs and ship kits, I had to carefully consider the implications.
The biggest factors are unlocking engineers, many of which require really tedious tasks to complete, specific guardian gear I find very useful, and military rep primarily for the Federation as I really like the Corvette. While the grind used to take a lot longer than it does now, I'd really not want to do all that again, even if I'd probably be much quicker achieving these now.
I'm still only single Elite, want to become Triple, and the fact I have access to Jameson Memorial and about 2bn worth of assets means if I want to quickly build any ship for whatever purpose, I can do so without grinding credits and/or mats.
Edit: Oh and I forgot to add, wiping my save means I'd also wipe the 'history' of my CMDR (stats etc. that will be visible in the Codex). Just feels wrong doing that as it's been a long road on my current and only save (playing since release on PC).

I've started a second CMDR recently, already earned enough to afford an AspX and am now in the process of unlocking the most relevant engineers and the Guardian FSD booster. As soon as I can properly kit out a Krait Phantom he'll be off into the black.
My thoughts exactly the engineer grind is just too much of a pain.
I did however buy a 2nd account in the sale for £16.
