• Using the right item at the right time yields a bonus
a bit vague but sounds interesting,
lol that kinda describes a lotta ppl in the forum too j/k :tongue2:
“• Using the right item at the right time yields a bonus” Does this mean that a rifle used at close range is not the ‘right time’ and won’t get a bonus? Any thoughts on interpreting this?

mining and crafting update?
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.
but dont you have to be able to reach it to claim it? o in order to have a claim deed for tht deposit doesnt it need to be minable???
Sorry to sound like a miserable sod, but is there any chance of implementing some new and intersting features. Most of the VU seems to be is tweaking stuff. Hats of the MA for listening to player requests and implemeting, but as for game development, well where is it?
The last development if I am not mistaken was hairdressing and beauty!
C’mon MA, surely you can do better.
EDIT:
Just to add, most of these fixes should be released as they are completed, not bundled together. Fixes are fixes, and shouldnt be released as a VU.

Keep in mind that this is only a sneak peek of SOME of the new things in VU 7.6 :wise:
[SIZE=1](i’ll edit first post making clear it’s not the full list.)[/SIZE]
And we still dont know what stuff like residue is going to be used for, the tutorial system, and new mobs (which the “special DNA” implies) can keep ppl busy for a while.
The cool thing about PE is that new stuff is being added over time, and that’s a difficult task, implementing it with an already existing system, not like most other games where the game is released and ppl getting tired of it after a couple of months, then wait a year or two for a sequal, in PE we keep playing the same game for years with new stuff added continuously.
([SIZE=1]please dont post examples of games that might be like that[/SIZE] :silly2: )

There was the spacecraft missions too, surely “just” an extention of hunting, but it brought a connection between miners and hunters which werent there before, the miners getting some cool extra, and many hunters started mining, and miners/hunters trading in between instead of just miners/crafters.
Let’s wait and see what the full VU listing brings 
Hmmm, maybe it could be used to solder shut the mouths of beggers? :laugh:

Totally agree with the beast on this one.
Most of the list appear to be bugfixes or things that should have been done in the first place.
Can’t wait to see a full list of actual new features though.
• Residues has a meaning
At a guess, this means residue is usable for something?
• Using the right item at the right time yields a bonus
means nothing??? hunting? Crafting? beauty? dancing? chatting?
• Blueprint books can be put in Storage
should have been that way from the beginning.
• New tutorial system in place
new player interest only but + points for adding this
• Blueprints in books doesn’t count toward the number of items in the inventory.
should have been that way from the beginning.
• Mining equipment and weapons have personalized stats, based on the avatar watching’s skill (like when you examine a Skill Implant)
should have been that way from the beginning.
• Learning bonus added when using certain items within your competence range
This needs an explination of what someones ‘competence range’ actually is, as does the remark from the last vu regarding skill bonus and using certain items.
• Added special items in the manufacturing system
New feature
• You now see the number of bombs you have available in the main HUD - should have been that way from the beginning. As should the decay amount of the currently equiped item.
• Claim deeds are tradeable
should have been that way from the beginning. Who will be first to give away a hanger by mistake 
(without using the Auction)
• Added Land Area feedback when crossing borders
New feature
• A horde of new DNA added, including specials
New feature
• The refiner now accepts any number of input items (no more dividing ore by 3 and having 150 units maximum)
should have been that way from the beginning.

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

True-BUT-there are some claims that you can’t get too.
For example I had a claim that was on a steep mountain. I mean it was “in” it so I couldn’t get it. ANother time I has a claim that was inside a hanger. ANd since the hanger was private I could get in . I’m sure there are a few other instances.
Now you are right what are the chances of have a decent find-and-being in a place like that??? I don’t know.
Finally some updates for us miners
Now mentors can give away oil and lyst claims to let their disciple claim it and gain skills in drilling/mining :laugh: , good system
bahhh stop complain , just keep in mind :
average time for MA to understand and do something is 1.5 to 2 year.
i agree on something , sneak marco show us , i s things he know we whant , and for sure we whant it , since thats 2 year we ask for it , like refiner that take what ever amount of rocks.but this can not be see as real new feature , but more as “normal” feature that is late in game for at least 1.5 year.
so i dont ask really new feature now , i just hope MA will still fix bug and fix the shitting things like the book in storage.
i am really bored that evrything i do in this game there something that say me : to baaaad , i can not do that because its bugged , to baaaad , i can not this because MA dont know their game , to baaad i can not do that beacouse MA dont know programation so its not alowed…
aout “feature” what is the point to got new feature , when the “old” things do not work properly ?
i would prefer first they fix the tool problem in beauty or what ever other godzillon bug…

Claims that you can’t reach is sure an issue for MA.
Maybe it is a reason for that deeds haven’t been tradable before now?
Let us see VU 7.6 before bug-discussion.

The rest of the listing looks sweet, but that particular thing im kinda sceptical to.
Does that mean we will lose the current “exact” stats on the weapons? or will it just be added an extra “your stats” field?
The “exact” stats we have now i think should be kept for reference as its the numbers we use and most efficiently can use in order to compare weapons..
YAY!
I love the new refiner

I’m really wondering what this means exactly, the skillchips shows the current level of the avatar and the level after using the chip. So I guess it could show the weapons real “damage?” and the possible “damage?” with you’re avatars skills…
I’m wondering if this will lower the maximum damage, etc done by the weapon or if it’ll be possible to go past the weapons maximum damage and do more than it used to be possible to do… perhaps this could increase the reload on the weapons aswell, I’m not sure, what do you think it means?
