Speculation on the next VU

I’m wondering what might be coming in the next VU, first we know it is supposed to be the crafting VU. I think they are setting that up by making all these resources available. Second we know they are making adjustments to the disciple requirements. Will they do something like they’ve done with mining? Will they make more use of other crafted items to build bigger items (we have seen a preview of that)? Will they make BPs more readily available? Will they just make some adjustments to the current crafting system and throw us a curve by introducing some totally new unrelated to crafting stuff or will they not do very much and save everything for the space station rollout?

Well I can put down what I am hoping for…

  1. Craftable ammo. This will give crafters who are starting out a better source of income, proberly won’t let them break even but will be better than TTing everything they make

  2. Component crafting has a purpose. Bigger systems perhaps? Make it so weapons and armours require component parts!

  3. Most importantly they will turn on the Uber HOF for redoaks button :stuck_out_tongue:

I guess I can leak a little - two new areas of crafting is added. Among other things.

The VU should come during next week.

im gonna go out on a limb and say MA are going to introduce bondage.

two new areas of crafting - sharp metal object making and leather making :slight_smile:

I just hope the drop rate for animal hide is sorted out next VU. Prices are silly for this material atm!! Also the skill gains for crafting is wrong. Especially for tailoring just too hard to gain skills, lets hope thats sorted out next VU also :mad:

I for one hope that the next vu is gonna make the coloring og tailoring better.

The coloring I would like to see that the value of brown paint is changed from the current 0,70 ped per can to 0,07 ped per can. As it is now almost all the brown paint ends up as TT-food cuz the value is a lot more than even the black paints value.

I also hope that they change the bleachers decay so we can get back to skilling. I now decays 12 pec per bleach with I for one think is way to high. I it where lowered to 1 pec per bleacj people would start skilling again and MA would still get the decay money, we would skill and everybody would be happy :slight_smile:

Also regarding both coloring and tailoring succes it looks like it depends on time, place and maybe luck wether u succes or not and not so much your skills.

And in order to skill more in coloring and tailoring it would be nice if the mobs dropped more materials and paint - like the ores and enmatters in the ground atm.

Well thats what I’m hoping for :smiley:

2 new areas means Area1= loosing 40% Area2=losing 30%

I gonna have to buy you some lego so you can learn to be constructive :wink:

There will never be a garenteed profit avenue in PE because MAs income is from its players… I still say they implement a PDA of sorts which you can elect to get ads on to gain a few extra peds. Also explains where your radar and international communication abilities are coming from.

If nothing else I just hope we are gonna get craftable ammo.

Exciting…will this include new BP books and new materials to use in crafting these “two new areas?”

Hopefully Components will be used as more of a modifier.

Lets say craft a basic engine and add it to rascal, you have armor with a jetpack now :smiley: or a filter will add a little bit more protection to a desired field, I think that would be fun

I would also like to see skilling changed, a lvl I bp should beable to give ok skills up to 1k and then lvl II up to 2k and so on, while skilling filters skills stopped at 300 and for standard damper they stopped around 1.6k

Maybe we get wall paper like the cool people in the demo that fly around in the big cities with their hovercrafts :slight_smile: I have always wanted to decorate the inside of my storage boxes :tongue2:

Craftable ammo would be cool assuming they dont mess with the effectiveness of the old stuff. Change is good, but using cake icing to disguise turds gets old after awhile. My synical guess (based on PE history) is we will get a “bonus skills?” for using new more expensive/powerful ammo, but will then be getting less from using the old stuff.

My largest hope for this VU is that all this obviously rediculous missing is brought to an end. Whether it was purposeful programming or unforseen bandwidth usage, what ever the cause, since the coming of 7.6 it has been pathetic.

LOL! Brillant line. I hope you dont mind if I borrow it :slight_smile:

Hey - y’all could give me +rep points for prompting a hint from Marco :smiley: Now that we know for sure - do you think possibly we might see gender changing of items in the new crafting fields or maybe field repair of some weapons. Will storage boxes be a new crafted item or will they just drop (personally I’d like to see them as drops)?

wall paper, that is a great idea
for appartments , but it would not count towards max number of items
