Pictures, description, analysis and disscussion on the RX units that populated the toxic PvP zones. While the RX are gone the weapons and armor they wielded may be used in a later VU.

1. Mainly an 'Ubber only' event; What the RX didn't kill, the other players did
2. Blades and other melee weapons proved most effective in killing the RX units
3. The RX randomly 'dropped' new gernade and rocket launchers (L); assuming these are teasers of whats to come!

The new owner of the Port Atlantis Shopping mall, once owned by Eps, is now owned by 'Darth Skippie Boobie'. The new slogan is "Atlantis Mall, Not Just For Noobs Anymore".

While no beans are being spilled yet, this VU will definitly hold some interesting perks (The Egg, banks, items, etc.)

BVS = Bottle of Vibrant Sweat & TT = Trade Terminal. You put the item in the TT and note the value of the item displayed = X. You note the amount of BVS it requires for the value displayed in the TT to pass to X+0.01 then V = amount of BVS / 100000. T = 'true' value of the item = X + 0.00501 - V.

Discussion on mob creatures that have not had DNA parts dropped for creating the mobs in question for Land Area usage. Popular choices among users are drones, molisk and pluma.

1. Shogun & Plated - Economical and preferred choice over plain Vigi (cheap on decay}
2. Vigi Plated - Affordable and excellent with 6A Plates
3. Ghost - Expensive to repair.
4. Boar - If you can afford it! Good all round amour. Won't have to upgrade for a while!!! But again more expensive to maintain.
5. Bear+6As - "Great fun but hell on the PED card at the repair terminal."

"hunt drones the right way though.. .one by one, tagging. Not running right at them and being surrounded by 10 drones"

Mindark is making stocks shares available for real world investing, however shares may not be available to the U.S, Canada or Japan, which is a large number of players who will not be able to invest in Mindark.

While adding small amounts of speculation and mystery, really doesn't cover anything more about what the black orb is doing or what will come from it.

KP708 While using the OF-15 (or even the TT finder), you may find some rare ores. However, using the OF-211(L) series will dig deeper than non-L tools and find even rarer ores. Different miners give their finds and research!

100 clicks of both a TT scanner and Lifescanner IV. The results of skill gains, decay and profession rank changes are displayed.

KP708 does a study on how many mobs contain no loot compared to the total number of coin flips. The results are quite interesting, as both contain similar results, so hunting is quite like flipping a coin to see if it loots or not.

Vigi+6As Penetration - 25 Burn - 26 cost w/ markup = 582PED total w/plates = 1002PED

Shogun+6As Penetration - 16 Burn - 22 cost w/ markup = 150PED total w/plates = 570PED

Shogun provides cheaper protection while vigi provides better protection

1. Bjornir, 100%. Abrer, 22%. Abrer, 22% = Total decrease in missrate: -8.75%
2. Bjornir, 100%. Abrer, 58%. Abrer, 58% = Total decrease in missrate: 5%
3. Bjornir, 100%. Abrer, 100%. Abrer, 100% = Total decrease in missrate: 8.8%
4. Bjornir, 100%. Gargul, 100%. Gargul, 100% = Total decrease in missrate: 16%

Using compromised or broken attachments during hunts will decrease your hit rate, regardless of what type of attachments are used.

Detailed information on how chipping in skills effects not only the chipped skill, but the supporting skills as well. Jimmy B provides clues that will help get some answers on the effects of 'chipping'.

Research into how the sweat gatherer skill affects people's ability to sweat

1. The ability to sweat does not worsen with increased skills
2. Whether increased skill improves the ability to sweat could not be proven
3. A larger sample size would be needed to find conclusive answers
4. Comments from observers on how to improve the experiment if it is ever repeated

All data is being transfered into chart. Check out the thread for those charts.

• success = 21%
• failure = 79%
• Atlas Heaven North has the highest success rate, nearly to 25%.
• Nea's Place has the highest average sweat/success, approximately 13.
• Nea's Place has the highest average sweat/attempt, more than 2.5.

Akbar's research into the number of successful sweating attempts you can have on different types of mobs.
