WIPE Additional information
Reputation, Exec Hangar ships, anything else from wikelo that aren’t ships WILL be reset in 4.8
Redline - Bundle
Embrace the thrills and spills of DefenseCon with this Drake-themed weapon, flightsuit, and ship paint bundle, each with a matching red and black finish. Includes the Tailwind flight suit with helmet, Klaus & Werner Gallant rifle, and Redline paint for the Drake Buccaneer.
Taking its design cues from the early days of aviation, the Tailwind flight suit prioritizes functionality above all, while the Gallant rifle features a high-capacity power system that allows it to fire considerably more shots per battery.
The Tailwind flight suit will be delivered in Alpha 4.8.
That includes Wikelo ships. So enjoy them while you can
Regarding paints and other pledge items being lost on without paid insurance claims on ships, there will be a patch next week to address this with a more advanced feature replacement in 4.9 (July).
