Altough I do not play discovery very often, I do sit and read the latest issues on the forum, and I'd like to say somthing.
I belive that a player wipe would be a good thing. All those "I've played for about a day then left" characters files will be gone, and lag may be sorted out. I also think it will be good to see everyone in fighters, instead of capital ships.
I also belive that trains should be weaker. I am a person who uses Fighters and Trains equally so I am not biased towards one or the other. I think trains/transports should have a slower cruise speed (if that is possble) and a longer time to go into cruise.
Think about it, the bigger the ship, the longer and more expensive it would be to go into cruise (I know that it doesnt actually cost money, but it probably would for fuel etc..). Train captains would only want to use it to travel very long distances, to make the most profit.
If there is a player wipe, possibly each faction should get compensation, but only a little, such as enough for an Armoured Transport and few bits of equipement, but not much more, just to get the clans funds goign again.
