With the release of Social Module, FPS and finally Ac 2.0, I was wondering what currency we would be using when PU beta is up and running? Will we use UEC or REC and will it be deleted when PU goes Live?asked by xTODMANx

TL;DRThe persistent universe will use UEC rather than REC, but whether UEC earned in multicrew gets wiped at launch is undecided, while purchased UEC would carry over.

Well, as soon as we get the PU up and running properly it will definitely be UEC. We may actually experiment with using UEC in the Large World multicrew map when we turn on shops and the ability to buy items. So, whether or not it will get deleted when the PU goes live... I'm not sure. We have to sort of consider what's happening. We may very well have a situation where, you know, what you do or what you earn in the multicrew area of the large world map – we'll sort of call it... beta or test UEC or it may be the real stuff, I don't know. To be honest with you, we haven't had a chance to think about that. But you would definitely be using UEC, not REC. REC is what you have for Arena Commander which is sort of the gamy credits whereas UEC is the actual in-universe credits. I'm soft of looking at multicrew as being the baby PU – so that's kind of how we'd do it and the question would just be whether it would be – you can use the UEC that you have and earn some more UEC but the UEC you actually earn in the multicrew would potentially go away once the game goes live. Of course, the UEC that you had purchased would not – that would carry over to the proper one because obviously that's the UEC that you've purchased or the UEC that came with your pledge.
