Quote from: Edward Lewis;1172609Hi guys,

This is just a quick update to confirm that there won't be a wipe at launch.

Any questions (I'm sure you've got 'em ;) ) put them in the thread below, and we'll get back to you ASAP.

Good news. We get to keep our lovely money after release!

That's indeed very good news. I'll be more careful on my windows slate (4fps in station!) with keyboard and mouse now since the loss will hurt! Back tomorrow to continue pumping the Cobra!

Heh, this is good news. But they really should have handled this PR better.

I logged on this morning, did 2 hours mining with a nice haul for about 200k. Logged off at a 'roid.
One pub lunch later I logged in and boosted into the roid which just loaded on my screen - boom goes the ship.
Still, just a loss of time as the cargo is effectively "free" but worked for.

Lesson learned. Wait for the environment to load before pressing buttons.

Hope the insurance was affordable. I'm trying to play on a tablet with a 11.4" screen and the frame rate is horrible but the worst is getting the hang of keyboard and mouse, Let's hope its all worth while!

Now I wish I hadn't taken on a suicidal Imperial Clipper. Damn thing rammed me twice and got lucky on the second one.

Full cargo of Super Conductors and I'd just upgraded with the rest of my cash.

Back in the black now, but had to take a loan of 40k.

The big ships are a git to avoid when they go on their kamikaze runs. I had to keep taking evasive maneuvers against a Federal Drop Ship as all he wanted to do was ram. I was taken out once by another Cobra, he was no shields and 40% hull I was 100% shields, full power to SYS and I still was dead on impact.
