    Hi,

    Can I have an insight about some basics of the planet?

    1. Will there be the same storage network, so if I come with all my stuff there will be a terminal where to put it all back?

    2. Is it possible to say in general if some items from Calypso will not work on Arkadia, so it's meaningless to take them with you?

    3. Will Calypso vehicle work on Arkadia? Will they work with normal oil fuel?
    Or we will have to use Fuel Cells from storyline?

    4. Can't think of anything else right now but since some people are really moving to the new planet, and it's pretty costly, it would be nice to have some official advice in general about what to take or what not to take, just because it won't work, some dos and don'ts, you know better for sure

    1. Not sure, but I would assume there will be a storage network like on all the other planets, but not connected to them.

    2. David has said that ALL items we find ond Calypso will be usable on Arkadia (not sure about stuff from the other planets)

    3. see no. 2

    4. Just a storage terminal VERY close to the arrival TP would be nice :)

    You beat me to asking these same Qs. I was wondering if I can simply travel light to Arcadia and then find that 'storage' is an interplanetary concept and that my storage simply connects me to its contents wherever I am. Otherwise I doubt it's possible to transfer much to Arcadia in ONE trip then ( if you are thinking of a perma move) if you have a ton of inventory as you will not be able to walk at all if you overload urself.. Let's hope if Arcadia storage is entirely separate that yes, they DO put it NEAR your arrival point so that you have some chance to actually stash it and then go back for more. I personally (atm) don't wish to MOVE to Arcadia lock stock etc, just visit and experience it but it's obvious if you get busy that storage will be needed. It's gonna be a bit of a pain if every planet has storage you can only access again by making a trip there - will encourage you not to forget anything you might need.

    Still as long as I have my black clothes and armors I will be fine, ha ha. One would hope ammo is the same every place so all our weapons will work the same and that Repair is universal on every planet also.

    I am hoping my car, boat, and VTOL for instance all work on Arcadia just the same and the fuel is the same system. There is a big problem brewing if each PP has too different a system, so surely they will have thought this out for the long term multi-planet future.. we won't wanna be doing 80 PED return trips to rescue a 5 PED item or tool we left in our Calypso apartment but need to use.

    PRE TRAVEL advice for visitors and colonists would be a GREAT IDEA and would make a good thread sticky once it's known!

    Ha-ha, you can browse my threads and posts, not so many of them are here, and you will find some answers to your questions. :)

    For asking and daring to say that I actually have the right to know, I've already been publicly hated and crucified in every other post here by some people, so you have a luxury of just browsing and reading. :)

    Seems perfectly sensible bunch of Qs to me.. cannot see why anyone would criticise you asking these..the whole area would be a great PR venture for Arcadia anyways to publish a 'Now you are Here' FAQ type guide which covered new players arriving with 0 possessions and people transferring from Calypso with large inventories... we will soon know once it launches

    I read in storyline imperial federal forces use weapons mounted in dropships and weapons since orbit for attack oratan. This is storyline only or perhaps we can use weapons mounted in vehicles for fight oratans?

    That was just part of the story, who knows maybe in the future.

    And regarding storage - Storage in Entropia Universe is planetary based. It works the same, but you need to carry with you what you feel you need.

    Regarding storage near TP's, yes there are storage terminals near every TP.

    Good answers thanks! A sorta shame about the vehicles though and oil etc... would have been really interesting to NOT have Calypso oil or vehicles on Arkadia. Those who bring them or craft them would need to rely on imported oil as everything on Arkadia has been converted to the Fuel Cells of the story...

    I'm all for diversifying the planets enough that there is a POINT to interstellar trading ;)

    Maybe this can gradually be introduced in time though... perhapse when we know more about MA's new space system

    I think when a player think about go Arkadia can talk with society chat and ask if someone need Calypso stuff. Someone can ask 1000 ped tt oil if price is less than 105%, someone can ask for explosive ammo, etc. I think interestellar trading will be posible, if profit is greater than spaceship ticket or TP fee.
