Player Wipe?????!!!!!! O dude, and I just spent all that time building up a heap of chars........
O well if it fixes that annoying lag.
As for nerfing transports and making money runs harder.... think about it. It'll make everyone much poorer. No argument from me there.... but think about how hard it'll be to buy those cap ships, fantastic weapons and faction tags. That'll mean *ALOT* more missions, and time, to build up cash.
It will vitually guarentee every char will be aligned, ie. not neutral, if you have to raise money primarily by missions rather than trading.
