If I purchase components, missiles, a shield generator, weapons, etc. Will they remain in my inventory when the PU goes live or are these purchases just to support the continuing efforts to create the best damned space sim ever and will be deleted when we go live?asked by Krash

If you actually purchased components using UEC which we've given you by default with your account and occasionally give additional ones and you can even buy some UEC. Those will all be permanent and will carry across into the PU anything you would purchase with a temporary currency. We're debating doing a temporary currency for the baby PU that we're working on now that would allow you to earn some money. That would obviously be wiped and obviously REC which is the rental equipment stuff which we may also carry across into Crusader the baby PU. It's obviously temporary it runs for a period of time.Essentially if you've bought some stuff with hard cash then yes you have it in the baby PU and you would have it all the way to the proper game works because that wouldn't be very fair if we didn't let you do that. I will say that it doesn't mean that some of the items and components may not get balanced cause obviously as you've seen as we put out there occasionally stuff needs to be re-tuned or rebalanced based on new features that come in or gameplay or maybe we've just made a weapon or a component too powerful and maybe we need to adjust it. But if you bought it you'll be able to get it and obviously once we get UEC working properly in the game you'll also be able to earn items and sell them to get credits back to get other stuff inside the game system.
