Another Reset
Everyone knows the game balance is out of whack. Unfortunately, some players are seeing the reset as an opportunity to jockey for short term ranking.
I'd like to suggest that you squash (some of) the incentive there by declaring that you will continue to reset scores and cash each time you release a version that changes the balance of the game.
I worry that if you don't, we won't give good feedback on the feasibility of trading and fighting as new players.

Jee thanks pmb, everytime something is rebalanced we get screwed over, what a wonderful idea! lets aply this to real world;
You insert 100 dollars into the bank at 50% intrest
20 years later without touching the money they say, "Hey guess we re did our intrest fee, you lose all your money"
Oh yah, works real well in the real world, that bank might have a fighter jet attacking them some day.
Why was there a reset? Because of the money bug! A bug that gave people piles and piles of credits.
Oh and El Guapo, never ever give negative credits to someone again. =)

PMB is right... ESPECIALLY since not just ships/weapons are being balanced but also since Incarnate said that the items for sale are possibly wrong and will be worked on too.
Essentially, we're getting a NEW game yet again.

This isn't the real world. This isn't even the "real game". That's my point. If the devs want to see what effect various checks and balances have on the game, we should start from a clean slate.
In the end, it comes down to what the Devs find most useful. We're guests here, not customers.
If I'm correct, a reset is quite easy. All it takes is a ctrl-a + delete...
Reset sounds good. If something doesn't work (balances, widgets, weapons), a reset is a good way to fix it.
Agreed.
"just" a reset doesn't really balance teh game back...
Well... after the ships and weapons have been balanced for the most part.
Well, judging from the Nation Ranking, some sort of Money Bug is back. Red has "4298366631" credits. That alone should warrant another reset. :-/
No, actually we earned every cred of that ourselves. :P
Maybe thats a1k0n.
That's because the Dev. a1k0n probably logged off last night after giving himself -1 credits... which apparently then gave him over 4 BILLION credits. Dr. Evil would be proud. Perhaps we can find him still frozen with his cat in space somewhere and get him to say it for us. "Red has over 4 BILLION credits" muwhahahahaha
