resource miners in base...too much of a risk?

Anyone else not building their resource generators or deleting them to help from being reset?  Less in your base the less that can go wrong...

    Hah, not sure that has anything to do with it. I keep my RGs and I have them laid out really amusingly =)
    I don't play much anymore =(

    My base is still running fine. 7 mineral ore generators and 5 each of the other two. Everything seems to be working normally.

    I guess I'm part of the control group for "base that has not gone wrong" for them to compare the rest of you to.

    the worst thing about the reset is getting res again its so painful

    Before my reset, I had almost all of my resource miners doing nothing. I mean I had them as meat shields around my base guns, but they weren't attached to an asteroid so they weren't actively gathering res. I wonder if maybe whatever test Kixeye did to the game to determine base "glitches" was to check for inactive res miners, or a base not producing resource comparable to its level of miners. My base while it was working fine from my viewpoint, wasn't actively producing its own resource, so maybe fell into the threshold for resetting. 
    Playing since Feb 2012.  Originally sector 304

    This is why it's called a "Closed Beta". You are testing to see what works and what doesn't. Always expect to be reset. In fact, all accounts should be reset prior to be opened to the public.

    No, a full reset on launch is unlikely.

    It doesn't work.  I tried it and got reset anyway.  I had no miners the first round of resets and still got reset the second time they did them.

    Assume that you're eventually going to get reset anyway at some point otherwise you'll just get more and more attached to what you've accomplished with your base.

      Are you kidding? With all the raiding I get I would never get anything done in VC without resourcers. Also, multiple small upgrades is the only thing that is going right with base building in Vega. 5 buildings with 6 day upgrade time is a nightmare. I like color and variety in a game.

      So what they get raided, it's free resources. Unlike those in storage I worked for.

    A work around I have found is that when a gather stops functioning as in wont power up or unpause at all, its basically a dead building.  I recycle that building and start over=/  Since last reset I have only done it twice and it has only ever been a gather.  And as for closed beta or not, it just sucks to loose an entire base because of a single low lvl meat shield building not operating up to code lol.

    I don't know if they will or not, this is my first beta with Kixeye but have done several others with different companies and never got to carry over what I had done in Beta testing. If they don't reset, fine with me but I expect it to happen without any warning. Just the nature of Beta testing

    Well I got reset and I think everyone should get reset once just in case their base will go wrong.

    Kixeye should show concern and implement my idea.

    What do you think?

    Your logic is that we should all reset our bases? Not only that but only those who haven't been reset and show no signs of needing those resets just so you can feel happy to make everyone as miserable as you?

    A tad bit of a spoiled brat you appear to be, no?

    If we all do get reset... you kinda realize you will be as well again. Kixeye won't make exceptions simply based on the fact you were already reset... they clearly haven't by those people who have been reset twice already.

    If I get reset I will still kick your ****.  Did it before reset, after reset and will after another reset.

    again = LOL

    I don't see why that needs to be brought into every conversation between us... I am only logically challenging your idea of conditional reset with facts of multiple resets already occurring.

    Good luck with it...just with most people anyway.  I was in an argument yesterday IRL with a person and he kept telling me that my argument was invalid and I needed examples to prove it.  So, I gave a few examples and he replied that my examples don't prove that it's always valid so I said "ok, fine, stop, my argument is that 'All x are y and all z are x therefore all z are y" and then he wanted me to prove that valid too and proceeded to argue with a bunch of strawmen instead of me :)

    Yeah I know... some time ignorant people just keep trying to put their ideas forth... I'll just ignore the rubbish that spews from his mouth from now on.
