Nicou-CIG pointed out that they fixed the issue that would have caused us to lose any equipped gear in the next major update.
The 4.1.1 update should be coming very soon (likely within the next few days) since they are currently testing out release candidates on the PTU.
And just after I logged in specifically to strip, very cool. Just kidding, I’m glad they managed to push the fix to 4.1.1 instead of rolling with it as is.
