In terms of ocd wiping i think thats not the right answer to the actual issue of the excessive and overplentiful of resources which is exactly what caused this unbalance to begin with. This made ships more expensive and more time consuming to build because now you have to spend more time mining more resources then you needed before. The construction time has also increased which makes it more time consuming to build and requires more resource input to cut time then before. And whipping players ocd will not solve that issue, only more fun ways of getting players to use them in battle will.
Below are two screens one is from my pvp sv from alpha 10.5 and the next is an alpha 12 cpu complaint ship. Both are of HWS configuration of resources from the alphas mentioned above. As you can tell the resources have resin massively in some cases about to 8 times.
