It hasn't...and why backers don't stick around in between theYeah, so as i just replied to Surefoot, all they have done is simply stop wiping some data on wipes.
Never been done before! (sorry, couldn't resist)
I doubt that very much.
I don't think Ci¬G have worked that one out, or in typical Ci¬G manner, they totally ignored the potential consequences since it doesn't affect them in the short term...or at all... since any loss is all dumped on the backers again. They were watching falling interest and backer numbers and had to do something without even a thought to the furore a few months down the line when Backer A logs in, wakes up in his CR monogrammed PJ's at Olisar and finds his hard earned fleet of ships and millions of aUEC gone once again. It's already bad enough as is...
In a further cash grab, Ci¬G are also touting the Imperator subscriber packages with the upcoming Carrack release..."You too could own a Carrack for 7 days for a mere $20 one off monthly sub..". Since I'm an Imperator sub who already owns a Carrack...does that mean I get a spare? I've already got a spare Prospector and Freelancer thanks to the ship loaner system.
It's going to be Carrack hell come 3.8.2 hitting live... considering they've sold more Carracks than they have Freelancers already. I don't know of any concierge or mid level backer who doesn't proport to having one... Now we'll have $20 casual subs all ramming eachother on Olisar with fleets of them
