Time to stop! I happen to be on Arkadia at the moment - the mobs for the kill missions and the POI are obviously different, but hey... Anyway, I've gone as far as the military green suit and that's where I'm stopping. Two reasons; I would prefer to keep the old suits as I go along and thus it...

Heads up for release info This might be useful. The platform release notes are not available on the Calypso startup screen - neither do they seem to be available on this forum - I haven't checked the Calypso official forum. But for some reason, the platform release notes can be read on the...

I had switched to mining for the majority of my Entropia time. However, now I'm hunting most of the time. But when the various available data sources tell me that pickings will be slim, I don't do anything at all except maybe a little crafting with some of the junk loot I pick up. I've got a...

One point not made yet, I think; mob difficulty depends on equipment. Personally, I find atrox and atrax (small atrox, because of regen) reasonably easy - simply because I wear armour that protects against all its multiple damage types so atrox damage is soaked quite well. Against pure-impact...

Yup. I TPed yesterday and landed about a metre away from a feffoid; nothing happened while I charged up for the next leg.

It isn't just me then! I did a 50-drop run (usual for me - I used to do 50 bombs, 50 probes) costing 75 ped and got back about 35 PED. Either something has gone wrong, or MA has got greedy. I suspect that they are basing average claim size on the old cost of survey probes. Tiny enmatter used to...

Two more: Tripudion Young L6, Molisk Young L8.

To put all this together: Noobie rifle uses rookie medium energy cells, available in the same subsection of the TT as the rifle. It uses several hundred cells (IIRC about 130) per shot, and if you only bought 100 cells (the minimum you can buy, I believe) then when you equip the gun it will...

Release notes for the latest VU (or maybe the one before that) stated that there were changes at Athena Spaceport. I went there last night, and it isn't at all obvious what those changes are. Any ideas? :scratch2::scratch2:

A point that I haven't seen made before is that the reasonably pure spawns in various places (notably Swamp Camp, with pure spawns of snables, berys, combibo and daikiba) seem not to be present any more, at least with the noob mobs. This matters, because it makes it harder to accumulate enough...

I know that. I thought it might be useful to know at least something about your claim before starting to drill.

As we all know, the unknown claims are really unknown now - inspecting the deed doesn't help to find any further info. Except that isn't quite true. I found this out today. (I haven't seen anyone else report it.) Inspect the claim and see how long it has left to go; this gives a rough idea of...

For low-end handgun skilling, maybe the low-end BLP (L) SIB pistols? I suspect that after a while, you would maybe not have to actually buy any more guns, because they drop fairly often particularly the S30. I've got three in storage right now, including one at full TT. And no, I'm not trying to...

I haven't read the whole thread, but perhaps your length of run between drops needs attention. This ought to be twice the detection range of the finder; I use a finder with a detection range of 55m and therefore run 110m between drops. This matters because you need to avoid overlap as much as...

Wrong. I do it all the time. Wait until you have 500000 explosives (50 ped TT) and put it on sale at 51 PED with a buyout of 51 PED. Very rarely takes more than an hour or two. Of course, that way you only make 45 pec (IIRC) more than TT (AH fees FTL) but every little helps!
