Star Citizen alpha 4.8 goes live today, and with it comes a much more far-reaching wipe than developer Cloud Imperium Games had originally suggested. In its initial announcement, the studio listed a plan to clear out players’ in-game resources, vehicles bought with the in-game currency aUEC, and that currency balance itself. However, plans to leave players with ships and gear that were obtained through trading with NPC Wikelo caused community concerns. In response, CIG is now deploying a more substantial trim.

 The new Star Citizen alpha 4.8 wipe will reset in-game purchased vehicles, reputation progression, and Wikelo and Executive Hangar rewards.  PCGamesN
