In terms of removing schematics, a wipe is the worst thing you can do. If you just pull the rug from under us and completely remove schematics in one fell swoop, it would be absolute carnage.But even though some people would be salty that they wasted all of that money, by the next time they need to make a new machine, they would be thankful. If you decide to wipe, however, you would lose practically your entire current player base permanently. I‘ve supported this game since the alpha, and played since the beta, and I want this game to succeed, cause it is the exact game I’ve always wanted made by the most helpful and chill dev team I’ve ever had the pleasure of asking to unstuck my ship. But while I myself might come back to the game post wipe to try and rebuild eventually, I’m afraid- when your game is based around the players- there might not be a game to come back to.
You are also not going to gain players by wiping, as chances are new people won’t be more inclined (maybe even less inclined due to a lack of stability) to buy the game if there has been a recent wipe. The only time having more advanced players would disincentivise new players would be after they’ve already started playing, due to it feeling unfair. In our community, this is by far not the case, as any new player won’t be shunned, but actively helped and elevated to the Same level. I’d take Carothis as an example, as he asked for help with a really obvious thing in the chat. This then led the chat to realise that they were new, so they immediately had multiple people (myself included) personally guiding carothis. Carothis now has a complete mining rig and is the superlegate of an org. That took them 1 day under the communities help. Therefore a wipe would deter new players, as old ones would be too busy rebuilding from scratch to help them.
tl:dr
Plz no wipe, I don’t want dead gaem.

The lack of a clear choice on wipe/no-wipe is hurting more than any actual confirmed choice. But they still need the beta to go on because they need to test and release more stuff.

If they declare wipe then people stop really investing time in their projects and content creating until wipe/launch happens. Makes it hard to test newer features. Also all the negatives of that wipe.
 
If they declare no wipe you still got a mess of forgotten projects and people unhappy and unwilling to rejoin back in.

Other people have made their points before... but NQ needs to make a choice so the player base can make their choice.

Heres an idea.. Some people have suggested a intergalatic dimension to travel from system a to system b.
 
Why not simplify it dramatically.  Make the two systems in the same server., but make them rediculously far apart. So far a part that it was take two weeks slow boating to get to system a to system b.  
 
If a player did decide to warp such a distance, it would cost tens if not hundreds of millions to transport those duplicated items, which would then bump up the price of those items if they did get those exploited items across, otherwise it would be a major loss in profit. Then the trick is how to prevent money transfer between the two systems. Perhaps a banking/range system? 
 
 
 
 

I think it does not reason in server but rather in solar system, obviously NQ will add another many solare systems in the long term, so these additions could give the opportunity to set up a temporary start-up phase for the new users and make after of future portal between these. I think it will be an interesting balance and also a more important motivation for new players.
