    A103s

    I wanted to clean my inventories a bit, and decided to sell my small collection of 28 Omegation A103 energy amps (all looted myself a while ago). After checking prices and seeing they were going at around tt+30, I decided to give 10% off and sell them at a +27 buyout, thinking resellers wouldn't...

    FYI: Fatal Mining Loot Generation Bug

    As all you miners know, in the long run, if you mine with no overlap between drops (i.e. bomb drops are always 110meters apart or more), you can expect a hit rate of about 27% (or around 1 in 4). If you were to say... drop 44 meters apart instead, via basic geometry, it is easy to calculate...

    Add Range as a Stat on Mining Extractors

    With the slight increase in range this VU to ore/enmatter extraction range, I thought it would be nice to simply add this as a stat for mining excavators/drills. Of course, I mean adding this stat to diversify the range limit for these tools. It would be nice to see the higher decay tools able...

    Silly Things You've Done When Disappointed With EU Loot

    I'll start: After getting 100tt back from dropping 300 bombs in pvp4 (only 6 lost to pk), I: Buy 1000bombs, start auto-dropping them with the nice new auto-use feature, and I'm getting ready to go out and party (instead of mining with said 1000 bombs)!

    Spread the Lootable PVP3/4 Risk Around?

    Pretty short idea: People that hunt or mine in pvp3/4 can lose a large amount, yet player hunters lose basically nothing when they fail their attack and are killed. Make it so that player killers have something to lose as well, so they can enjoy the same thrill and uncertainty as their victims...

    Equipment: Ghost (5A), Riker UL3, A103, Ek-2600 Looking to buy Rascal and A105. Total cost in tt includes ammo, armor decay, amp decay, weapon decay, fap decay.

    Decoy Effect on Bombs

    As I'm exploring the new Calypso, one thought that keeps pestering me is the annoying amount of mobs everywhere, chewing at my heels at every turn. Now that mob speed has been increased, I find that I can't even outrun exa matures. On any uphill climb it's impossible to outrun anything since...

    FYI: Close EU in one click

    For those of you playing in windowed mode, you can click the X in the top right to close EU, no need to press ESC-Exit-Confirm :) I mistook EU for a browser window and closed it :p

    Heart of Calypso, entry 1

    Journal of Revan Evenstar, Entry 1 I have never written a journal entry before, but I must start now. I must record everything that has happened yesterday, as clearly as I can remember it, because it is the day when the world I knew was torn asunder. My mind is bursting with questions, and...

    MA, not you, decides which 3rd party software is unacceptable

    To date, 3rd party tools have been accepted for use inside EU. Two good examples are NRF and Entropia Tracker. These programs definitely "collect information from Entropia Universe Systems", are publicly distributed on the forums here, and MA has not taken any action against them. This is...

    Entropia Tracker Trends

    EF's ET trends are always fairly inaccurate. Currently, ET lists: +5.51%, -8.43%, -17.01% EF has: -26.64%, -48.22%, -48.98% It's been like this ever since for as long as I remember. If this could be fixed, that would be great. I suppose with CE2 coming, ET will be broken anyways, but their...

    Email, Instant Messaging, Chat Features

    In the context of CE2, with undockable chat windows, I would like to see features that allow: 1. Sending messages to offline people on your friend list, which they can see when they log in. 2. The ability to start an IM conversation with anyone in game if you know their full avatar name. This...

    I am creating this diary both to motivate myself to do more runs and also stop losing my mining return information. Equipment: OF-105, OM-104, OT-105 Run size: 300 bombs, oa101 only For simplicity, I use tt spent as 450 peds, which is bomb + amp decay. I also only count the tt of...

    Question: Do you think EU operates on personal loot pools or common loot pools?

    Please allow me to explain both types and the question a little better before answering: note - MA deals in tt values only, as market value is determined by the player base, so when I say X% return, I mean X% of tt spent returned as loot. A personal loot pool would mean MA tracks the gains...

    Radar NSEW Positions Fixed

    Well, ever since I started Entropia, I've noticed that the radar direction markers have been a few degrees off. Not a big deal, but should be pretty easy to fix. In fact, I don't care if they fix it for the current version, as long as the CE2 radar is oriented correctly, that would be great :D

    Limit Framerate Option

    EU tend to make my graphics card whine pretty loudly, but I don't really need 100fps+ while mining. If MA could add a frame rate limit option in in client loader or somewhere, I'd appreciate it. I'm sure my video card will be a lot quieter and endure less wear and tear at 30 or 40 frames per...

    Final Theory Thread

    Since my previous theory threads, I think I'm at the point where I can sum up all I know about how loot is generated in a few easy rules and can share them with everyone. Other experienced miners will have different opinions so feel free to challenge or debate. One note before I start is to...

    Spare Parts for L items

    This idea sort of allows L weapons to be repaired, so you don't have keep TTing them and changing quick keys, but in a way that doesn't hurt crafters. Method 1: Part 1. Any L item can be turned into spare parts -> right click, make into spare parts This irreversible process (requires...
