Will there be a complete wipe with Alpha 3.13, or only the usual wipe like on the last patches?
TL;DRThe plan is the usual wipe rather than a complete one, though they reserve the right to change that, and they want to avoid frequent wipes so long-term ship goals can be tuned.
The usual wipe. That's the plan. So unless something basically hits the fan, we're not going to change it too much.
We always reserve that right. That's why we're operating with aUEC instead of regular UEC.
Exactly. But again, the reason why we don't want to wipe constantly is, again, this sounds wrong, because we want to make sure that earning a ship and stuff like that is a very long-term goal. FPS purchases or anything like that, we always view those as short-term goals. Earning a ship, that's a long-term goal. And we want to see, okay, is that something that you need to grind for three months or six months or a year to get? Just to see if our numbers are right, for tuning and those types of purposes. So obviously, that ties back into the exploits. Yes, we want to know of any exploits, because that's short-cutting the goals and the goalposts and everything like that we have.
