I was just wondering if there was talk about doing a complete reset after the new patch is out? Not only to the metaverse but also to the player accounts. I think it would be a great idea, letting the new players be able to compeat with the players that have been around for years. Let me know if there has be talk about it, and what your option is on it.

I can only say that i needed about 4 month to reach the rank of an Admiral,
cause i have not much time for playing. And if there will be an reset of all Player accs, i think i will be not the only one, which will leave darkspace.

We will not be resetting prestege when the patch goes live.
There are only two circumstances under which presetege would be reset:
1 - A massive and all encompassing refit of the entire prestege based rank system.
2 - An act of God, which wipes out our database and our database backups.
Outside of those events, it's not going to happen.

What about Ship Storage?
Seeing as some ship layouts are going to be changed and everything.

Wow...two topics...might as well respond to both:
Faustus, our beloved Leader, has categorically rejected the idea of player Stats reset, stating, on a November 12th interview:

Reset ranks?! Are you mad? You know how long it took me to get to the rank of Admiral? You really think the Patch has been delayed this long just because of back-end code problems?! Hell no! Getting my Gold Combat badge and my Gold Tranny badge took a better part of two months alone!
I'm sure I speak for all the Admins here when I say: The day the player's stats get reset is the day I give up on this game and go back to my day job running illegals over the border

A Metaverse reset will most likely happen, especially because the Metaverse will be expanded with the new patch.
Hope that helps.

Acctually, i've had an idea reguarding pres resets. Back in the day there were resets all the time and it made the game more fun. I mean. i know DS is an online game but it's still a game, once you've completed it you start over. Exept in normal games where you start over you don't come accross enemies in massive starships.
I know people don't want their prestige taken away from them, so why not make it optional? Also i know people don't want to come across massive EADs in thier assualt scouts, so here's my idea.
Make a dedicated pres reset server. Anyone who has reset thier prestige on or after a certain date can access this server, anyone who hasn't, can't. This would be a Grand admiral server; giving scope for long tearm play after reset. no-one wants to play a Ltn. cmdr game, and old vets reseting thier profile will get captain in a few hours.
Plus it would be very usefull for new players, demo, newbie and captain are just awfull, there's no help, no decent combat chalenges, i once went in there and saw someone in a scout circling for about an hour saying "how do i orbit?"
So there it is, flame all you like. Just tell me what you think.

I however would welcome a Credit Reset. The credit system was/is deeply flawed. Perhaps something like a reduction of 95% of credits, down to minimum of 100,000 credits, would be fair.

Ship storage WILL be reset once the patch is release.. but no way we would reset the player accounts. Everyone will receive a good chunk of credits added to their accounts when we release the patch, to make up for the loss of their storage.
