Hi everyone,
We've been closely following the conversation surrounding 4.8's upcoming wipe and wanted to give you an updated heads-up regarding what to expect.
Alpha 4.8 will include a comprehensive wipe. This means earned aUEC, in-game purchased vehicles, items, resources, reputation progression, and Wikelo and Executive Hangar rewards will all be reset with the launch of Alpha 4.8.
Here’s what you will keep:
• Blueprints
• Any item or vehicle entitled to your account and visible in the "My Hangar" section of the RSI websiteAs previously mentioned, this reset is an important step toward stabilizing the economy as new systems continue coming online. Alongside the wipe, we’ve also implemented additional safeguards aimed at reducing exploits and duplication issues, with more improvements to come.
We appreciate all of the feedback you've sent our way. We’ll be closely monitoring the rollout and look forward to seeing you all in-game!

- Any item or vehicle entitled to your account (visible in the "My Hangar" section at robertsspaceindustries.com)
We want to clarify that the following will also be reset with Alpha 4.8:

Looks like the interior of the M80. It also looks like the ship will have a small interior that we can walk through.

Those Who Attended Enter ATMOsphere 2956 Received an In-Game Hangar Decoration by Mr. Hasgaha
(media.piefed.social)
I noticed that @hasgaha@mastodon.online posted about this on Blue Sky a little while back.
Excited to finally be able to share this: @robertsspaceind.bsky.social is putting one of the posters I created for the @atmoesports.bsky.social #EnterATMOsphere2956 into #StarCitizen as an exclusive hangar decoration for players to hang themselves! You have to be at the Sydney event to get it though
I do appreciate the little rewards that players receive for going to IRL events like Bar Citizen, ATMO, CitizenCon, etc. I can't think of many other games that do something similar.
I just wish that we had a better way to lock these items onto shelves/tables/decorations in our hangars/ships so that they wouldn't jitter all over the place and end up all over the floor.

Wakapedia-CIG has posted the latest Evocati patch notes for everyone to see:
Considering the changes to how ships can be stored at locations, it sounds like the SRV (tow ship) will become a very useful ship from this build and on.
There are some other major changes in this build that will drastically change how we treat our ships; rearming, claiming, etc.

Gameplay & Features
Vehicles & Loadouts
Item Recovery - Vehicle Loadouts
This update focuses on the latest updates to Item Recovery with ship loadouts.
By default, when your ship is destroyed and you file a claim, you will receive the base loadout for that vehicle. This loadout is defined by either: Your RSI web hangar configuration or the default in-game vehicle configuration. Any modifications you made (components, weapons, etc.) will not be restored as part of the default claim process.
- Saving a Vehicle Loadout
Note: For this test a custom loadout is called a “snapshot”, this terminology will change for release.
You can save the loadout current ship loadout using the camera icon in the ASOP. When going to claim back this vehicle, you will see an option to claim back the loadout you saved.
Loadout reclaim cost (aUEC) is based on both the hull and the saved loadout configuration.
This cost will be significantly higher than a default claim
You can choose to:
- Claim the base ship (default loadout)
- Claim the saved snapshot loadout
- Saving of crafted vehicle components
We are still working on making crafted vehicle components persist through claims. For this build, crafted items will come back in their default state on next claim.
- Consumables
Ammo and missiles are treated as consumables:
- Ships reclaimed from a snapshot will not include ammo or missiles
- Fuses are restored according to the vehicle’s snapshot
- You must restock and rearm via ship services
- Stored Local Ships & Scrapping
There is a limit on how many ships can be stored locally within a hangar’s storage.
Bricked ships will not be automatically removed from a hangar’s storage, allowing you to call them up on the hangar to retrieve any cargo that was within.
You can scrap ships to remove them from your hangar, scrapped ships which you own can be claimed back later.
- Vehicle Manager App (VMA)
- VMA no longer saves ship loadouts for claims. This must now be done via the ASOP to persists a loadout.
- VMA is now limited to ship customization (similar to tractor beam interactions)
- VMA will now only display vehicles stored at the current player’s location, regardless if you are the owner of the vehicles.
- Bricked Items
Each time an item or vehicle is claimed, it enters a temporary “bricked” state: Grace Duration: 5 minutes (test value)
After this period, the item or vehicle is non-functional
- Salvaging
For this release, selling and salvaging vehicle modules are disabled. Hull scrapping for imprinted or bricked vehicles is functional, but does not reflect the final implementation.
- Death flow
When dying, similar to how it is in LIVE, you will respawn with the gear you had equipped at the moment of death.
- Test Focus
- Attempt to duplicate items using Loadout Claims (not default claims)
- Perform repeated claims to stress test backend systems
- Report any invalid or transient states encountered in ASOP
- Store vehicles you do not own, Vehicles owned by another player, Bricked vehicles, NPC vehicles
- Spawn nested vehicles
- Deliver the constellation (with snub) and Check that the Merlin get it’s own entry. Check the bricked behavior of the merlin when claiming Constellation and vice versa

Hopefully this means the ships will go straight to being flyable.
As far as I know, the only Gatac ships we know about are the Railen and the Syulen. The Syulen has already been released, so that leaves the Railen and something else.
I'm curious what the second ship is. Maybe it's one of those ships where the shadow/outline was teased at a previous CitizenCon.
