The upcoming Version Update 7.6 is said to contain changes in Mining and Crafting professions, MindArk representative Marco Behrmann has posted some info about the VU 7.6 in our forums.
Some of you already know this, but for those who didnt follow the random tidbits provided by Marco, we here give a summary of some of the new things in Project-Entropia Version Update 7.6.
Marco wrote…
• Residues has a meaning
• Using the right item at the right time yields a bonus
• Blueprint books can be put in Storage
• New tutorial system in place
• Blueprints in books doesn’t count toward the number of items in the inventory.
• Mining equipment and weapons have personalized stats, based on the avatar watching’s skill (like when you examine a Skill Implant)
• Learning bonus added when using certain items within your competence range
• Added special items in the manufacturing system
• You now see the number of bombs you have available in the main HUD
• Claim deeds are tradeable
• Added Land Area feedback when crossing borders
• A horde of new DNA added, including specials

Marco also tells that the VU 7.6 is currently in Internal Testing phase and is to be expected for public release sometime next week.
Several of these things seems to adjustments of already existing systems to satisfy the userbase which has been long called for, and i agree the changes are very welcome.
Things like putting blueprint books in storage, also that you can put a whole stack of ore in the refiner, which is how it was in “the old days” is very appreciated.
Thanks MindArk.
The other new things also looks good, a very promising version update.
Everything looks promising on the tidbits, except this one worries me.
Being someone that has lost a big deposit in a rock before I am posting this as a warning if the rock claims are still going to exist that before purchasing a claim its best to go see the claim. Its not going to happen often but someone may try to sell a large deposit that is unminable if the rock or building claims are going to still exist. Don’t get me wrong, I want to be able to trade claims as I mine in a team from time to time.

• Claim deeds are tradeable

I don’t know how this is gonna work out in the long run but potential scamming with unreachable claims WILL HAPPEND but can be avoided by simply NOT BUYING ANY CLAIMS FROM PPL YOU DON’T KNOW or go check the claim before you buy like Cauldren said.

You can see information on the deed before you buy it.

And the ore prices go… UP! (please?)
[/QUOTE]
Well as someone skilling components to get the requisite skills necessary to participate in crafting. I hope the interest in, and subsequent increase in these activities, will increase the supply of ore thus lowering the prices.
Interesting about skills. Does it actually mean theres an “optimal” range and performance…
Refining cool,
HUD change cool,
Claim trading - yay finally a way for miners to skill, to team-mine, contract-mining, or… wait.. who would buy claims? I would for skills. But not else. Can they be sold on auction? Someone collecting on HoFs?
I wish for mining tool attachments. Would be cool.
I havent been able to play PE in a month, because of economic reasons. :rolleyes:
But when VU 7.6 arrive, and hopefully the ore price will go upp.
Then im back in business

Hmm… but will the claim deed record the amount of ore already mined? If not then there is a danger of someone mining almost all of a big find then trying to sell an almost empty claim
Maybe its not longer sellable when you pulled the first stones/enmatters ?
The personalized stats sounds interessting. And again i heard , the right tool at right time means a bonus … I heard this by hunting too somewhere i just forgot where i have read it. So its not just the right region/server you have to be in but you also need the right “Tool” to get this hof ?
I guess i wont get a clear awnser on that :tongue2:
