Nope. This is a partial account reset, items and money are being reset to your accounts defaults with reputation being retained. Although you'll need to redo any licence missions to unlock things such as npc bounties. Item wise, if it doesn't appear in your "My Hanger" on the website you won't have it at the reset. They've mentioned that some money will be given back to people depending on how much they've done but it's very vague still.
What I should have said is if you have any ships in My hanger, that you subsequently put better guns/shields etc on, will you go back to the default fittings?
Ah, yes it'll only keep the defaults.
So really right now best you can do is just go out and do missions and have some fun. Don't think about earning and upgrading, just not worth it until after the reset.
Yes I think a bit of playing around and getting the mechanics down will take me until the update. Just the sheer volume of information takes a while to absorb.
Is reputation tide to each planet/area? Either that or mine is resetting every time i log in but i think im starting off at different areas so my history doesn't show any completed missions at the current place i am tide to.
Likewise I've done a lot of hopping around to different areas doing jobs all around. I think its tied to jurisdiction/faction. I've mostly been working round the Microtech planet and I have noticed that my Rep there has started to climb, slowly mind, but it has raised. Dropped into the negative slightly in Hurston due to some early issues working out who the enemy was on bunker missions...
Microtech isnt my home planet but I think that is where I will be working out of predominantly after the wipe.
Going to abstain from playing the PTU. Will make it all the more interesting come patch release day.
I'll be glad once I've got all this basic stuff sorted. Got Game Glass set up, very handy.
It should go live by end of the week.
Yeah rep is tide to specific factions at locations. Here is a list of them

They're all tied to areas but some serve multiple. I've generally been staying in one area to grind the rep up but I do jump around. Bounty missions higher rep gets you harder targets etc. so I feel it's worth sticking it out a little bit.
Depends on your tolerance for bugs and the learning curve. I'm pretty new to it, and although there is a lot to know and workaround, it is very impressive. It's far from being a finished game though. I would say you don't so much play it, you experience and test it.
If you haven't got a game package and are on the fence... watch videos as you've suggested and perhaps wait until the next free fly event to get a taster... If you have a package already just log in and try it, its fun with others but has its moments and problems as you'd expect from a game in active development with gameplay loops not working. Note that the server performance is quite lacking generally right now until server meshing comes on stream in 4.0 which will allow for multiple servers to run the game universe fully synced.
