All systems & stations lost... again

[Janzig]

I understand its EA, but can we get some clarity on how often the galaxy map will be reset? With 16.0 all my conquest progress was reset. I had a save from right before building my capitol station, so ok, ill just restart from there. Played a bunch today to start rebuilding and then the hotfix and bammm... back to square one.

Should I wait for a while/several updates before playing more or are we done with system resets?

Didn't they say you could play on the dev branch if you want to avoid that?

I hadn't heard anything about that, but thanks. Why I asked the question.

It seems that capturing systems/building stations has become completely pointless as any update could wipe that progress out. I'm gonna focus on plundering factions for money and resources because it's not affected.

its fixed now, if you're in the discord he tells everyone that there were a ton of systems with duplicated stations and planets overlapping each other and so to fix it, the systems had to be updated

Since the main mission currently stops at 3 sectors. So I am excepting a few wipes. Currently it's way to easy to take over half the galaxy. Also expecting a full wipe at some stage

Well see this is why you don't remove 'already gained progress' in save games. It makes everyone angry, and for those save games it completely messes up stability. For instance my faction economy was fairly stable, and now it's completely destroyed. As shown:

I can't disband armies, I can't let troops go, I can't rebalance my budget, all I can hope to do is attempt to quickly take more territory before my current funds run dry.

Doing a 'full wipe' on a MMO may make sense. But on a single player game? NEVER!!!
Not unless you force a fully new game to be started.

and yeah i've lost about 8 structures, not cool

Got a hypothesis. Only structures lost are ones captured. Have seen battle lost appearing on the screen in red capitals. When revisiting location of structures captured, they are gone. Perhaps battle lost has something to do with it, and there was no pre warning. Is this a bug or is it unrelated? Note that there have been times when a warning has been received that a station is under attack and I can assign generals to it, but I always need to visit to conclude the battle - like constant firefighting. Bit annoying. Surely the generals can handle it?

Thoughts?

Guys, I don't know what you talk about, my buildings and stations are still there and I have started with faction war in version 1.5 or so. Currently I don't know where to put all the money my faction has. I must lower all tax rates and increase security levels to reduce income, I'm actually afraid that the faction money goes out-of-integer-bounds.

So all the materials production and stations/outposts you captured are still there on your station list?
Crazy. I must be doing something wrong.

My systems have remained, just the structures.

Bug maybe? It wasn't adding funds to the treasury like it should? I don't know. But I do know something wasn't working 'as intended'; As I kept running out of funds, and had to keep adding more and more from my personal earnings. Even though I should have been operating 'in the black'; It was acting like I was 'in the red'.

How are you managing your system p&l?

If you trade/tax policy is black but system p&l is red, could have net effect red.

keep in mind that those posts/screenshots are from back in april when all system ownerships got reset with a patch. economy wasnt fully implemented back then, some numbers were subtracted instead of added, structures didnt produce income yet etc.

Nope, it was all in the positive.

But I was still broke as a joke. I guess that's my fate in both 'real space' and 'game space'.
