    I recently made a new character a few days ago, and have been playing him in singleplayer for a few days. Today, I finally took him into a multiplayer server, and all was well, until I was disconnected. When I relogged, my ship was empty. Furniture, fuel, ship locker were all reverted to nothing (though the matter manipulator/default items were still in the locker). After signing onto singleplayer in the hopes that it was confined to the server itself, I saw that the problem was in my ship file itself. It was wiped across all servers. In addition, I've heard about peoples' planets getting randomly wiped as well. At this point, I'm hesitant to even try playing, if my ship/planets can so easily be wiped.

    Few questions real quick. What version are you running, what OS are you using, how often has this happened, have you ran any mods, and describe how it occurs (does it happen on spawn in, does it happen when beam back up to ship etc.?)
    The devs said that there should be no more character wipes, that does not mean your ship isn't still viable to be reset.
    The game is still in very early beta, almost at an embryonic stage. It does not mean that the game will stay glitchy.

    Take backups, simple as.

    Today my server crashed which resulted in a regenerated spawn, I had backups so no harm was done.

    You can even make the backup automated.

    Yeah that does help, I can see it as being annoying to have to mess with the files every day though when it can be fixed though. :/

    Obviously the bug will be fixed, in the meantime backups will solve any potential wipes.

    We got bit by the same bug. I made a new character a few days ago, logged into a multiplayer server this morning, played for a while, logged out, went on singleplayer to find my ship wiped but my inventory still there. I had stored everything I own on my ship for the upcoming universe wipe... :(

    Also should mention I got disconnected a few times trying to get on the multiplayer server but everything was fine while I was on.
