Glad you solved that problem. One thing to add - Some people have claimed that using cheap armour (musca on Arkadia, settler on Caly) as "plate hangers" can work out fairly well. Entropedia has a...

I would have thought that mining finder range enhancers would improve economy - simply because if you are mining in a grid pattern then you can open up the grid and still cover the ground. Concrete...

I'd like to chip in about generic leather texture. It's quite a good texture (IMHO) to practice your crafting skills on by making (providing you can get hold of the BP) because generic leather is...

Just to be clear: The reason for using pistols is twofold. First, pistols tend to be lower damage per shot but fire more quickly - which reduces the amount of overkill that you're saddled with. (If...

Near the coast, medium depth, on the area south of the island where Resolute Firebase is located and not too far north of the outpost there, I found several of the obscure new resources. I don't...

Beaches do have resources on them, but it might be wise to keep 50 metres (the range of most finders) away from the water's edge because (natch) resources don't spawn underwater. (They do sometimes...

AFAIK the random chance of an enhancer breaking is not affected by the base cost of one use of the item it's attached to. (I don't have any proof of this.)

The "bigger" the item being enhanced,...

Nusul is a pure impact mob, so that's worth considering when thinking about armour. It is extremely unaggressive and doesn't hit all that often or for much damage.

As far as weapons are concerned,...

It might be worthwhile considering the use of really cheap armour as a plate hanger. Something like Musca (I suppose on Caly it would be Coloniser or Settler) with medium-sized plates on it might...

Sounds great. Only trouble is; well over 50% of "treasure" is fossil ammonite, two different ambers, brass and bronze alloys - all of which are TT fodder. IMHO, the only reason for switching on the...

This post was inspired by another complaining about a KSer. I would like some opinions about when an apparent killsteal really is one and when it isn't.

My view is that an accidental isn't really...

On the "mind powered travel" theme, how about a spacesuit (armoured like a vehicle but heavy and clumsy to move in on the ground) and a new long-range TP chip that only works in space, together with...

Well, the psychedically coloured giant artichokes now evident near Celeste Outpost might qualify now as Arkadia's trippiest place. :)

I might add that the situation with mob loot and also mining loot and also "treasure" being at least 50% TT fodder (and probably more than that) seems to be getting worse, not better.

"Treasure"...

I got caught by this, although not as badly as some because my affected gun (LAW-303 Jungle) was only at about 35% TT when I bought it; I presume it was a mob drop, because it had a zero tier level....

I have some observations about ET that might be useful to others, as I had to solve these problems myself.

Recently, my PC (which is running Windows XP, and has been having problems for a while)...

Yesterday about 8PM MA time, I was at the Quarry trying to sell some mining loot - almost without success. I was talking to someone who wanted to see my finder (F105) and hit the hotkey button once...

I've looted a few odd items (hair gel, hairspray, makeup remover) from mobs (mostly nusul) too. Quantities are tiny, though - as usual, the problem is accumulating enough to make the MU outweigh...

I am beginning to question the wisdom of treasure hunting, too. At the moment I have around 700-800 PED worth of treasure loot sitting around (both types of amber, bronze alloy, flint axe and arrow...

Doesn't that apply to big oratan?

Personally, I like the laser sounds from Arcadian guns. They sound more like I imagine lasers would; much more so than low-end lasers from Calypso, which are just a generic gunshot bang. However,...

I imagine so. Especially as I'm now going to start skilling up with swords. :)

Right. Thanks for all the info - I might try using Ark TT swords on carabok. I don't usually like overkill, but I can live with it. :)

Lucky_A; thanks for the thought but FAL-4 is way over my...

With a swordsman hit level that's already 10? Seems to me that would take a VERY long time.

This is seriously frustrating. I recently managed an unlock (coolness) by using laser rifles just about all the time, and decided to go after another unlock - namely something like Melee Damage...
