Star Citizens, Heads Up: The Next Economic Hard Reset Arrives With Alpha 4.8 Tomorrow

If you have bought any cool progress along with your Star Citizen toon, you have bought yet another day to take pleasure in it earlier than you gotta begin from scratch… fictionally financially, at the very least. Roberts Space Industries has introduced that they are doing a common financial wipe with the Alpha 4.8 replace, which arrives tomorrow.

The new This Week In Star Citizen printed on Monday explains that with tomorrow’s replace comes a tough reset of “in-game resources, items, vehicles purchased with aUEC, and earned aUEC balances.”

“This reset is an important step toward stabilizing the economy as various new systems come online,” the blurb inside Star Citizen’s weekly newsletter reads. “Alongside it, we’ve also introduced additional safeguards aimed at reducing the exploits and duplication issues that impacted the economy previously.”

However, you can be protecting a number of issues—clearly, your account-bound ships are nonetheless going to be there. You’ll even be protecting Blueprints and any automobiles obtained via the Wikelo Emporium (earned via missions and elements as an alternative of outright aUEC). Basically, it looks like they’re, actually, intending on simply doing an financial reset.

Tomorrow’s Alpha 4.8 update was unveiled more fully last week, bringing the Tactical Strike Group multiplayer PvE content material to Star Citizen. Then on Thursday, Drake Interplanetary brings DefenseCon to our system, which we now know features a Free Fly so anybody can check out their questionably-ethical pew-pew ships whereas the UEE expos within the (unplayable) Milky Way as an alternative.
