NQ do you really think schematics is the problem? In my opinion the problem is that you do not have any long term plans and goals, you just radically change things and you wait how does that work, this way you kill this game. Please focus all your coding power to implement new things to this game -> when game starts to lure more players in, markets will heal. Its just economy around living active universe. More interesting planets -> more to explore, more unique items (items you cannot craft!) -> dangerous places (if you really do not want pve, danger can be achieved via weather, unstable wormholes, etc) -> this kind of things creates interest. Now we have several allmost similar planets, pvp is crap, players are quitting, economy is not working (because time to time you change everything related to it and people sell everything they own crazy cheap). On top of all this, you have mentioned wipe, many players parked their ambitions and goals for their digital "Star Life" and they are now waiting for possible wipe... Sad.
I think you still have the most interesting platform to make it. To be the best space sim where people will spend countless hours enjoying things all we space breathing individuals dream in our dreams. Dont change existing, go forward and we follow...
