otherwise it all looks exciting

I always carry refiners on me, so i can refine the ore or enmatter. It helps to reduce the weight if you are on a long mining trip, or if you get lucky and find some big deposits

Because they decided to launch the VU despite a bug in one of its feature instead of postponing the entire VU until its fixed?

Think they first let the servers go up and than let the players in...at least this was the usual way

Every VU in the history has been launched with bugs and created some rough emotions,personally I think they should fix bugs before they release it. Wouldnt you rather wait a few days extra to get a BUGFREE vu?

Time left
In systems where a time limit is present, this limit is changed to show the time left until expiry. This time limit shows real time, meaning that it does not take real world incidents like Project Entropia being offline into consideration.

• that one I don't understand. someone to translate me pls?

Exploration
Imperial scout teams have reported that they have discovered new sites of interest. Where these sites are located is still classified awaiting further investigation.

•*yayyy youpeeeee

Fixed bugged items
Fixed a bugged melee weapon – the RepEdge Battle Axe 1x0 no longer does the strange electrical damage.

• so much for teh most efficient weapon

After logging in to PE web site, there is no longer a link for My Items!! I hope this is just temporary....

Items with limited uses
A number of new items are tagged with the (L) tag, which means they are "Limited". Limited items can only be used a certain number of times, after which the item is destroyed or removed. Limited items cannot be repaired. Limited items can be found as hunting loot and can be manufactured.

A select number of blueprints have this tag as well, meaning you will have a limited number of attempts of making the output item.

Limited items usually have better stats than normal, unlimited items.

Great thingies to loot!

Skill influence damage
Weapons now shows the actual damage intervals the weapon has, based on avatar skills and mastery. Different weapons may show different intervals.

Interesting

Loot windows
The loot window functionality has changed. They are now merely a "receipt" of the items found or made. The items are instead automatically placed in your inventory when found or made. Stackable items are automatically stacked. The "Take all" button is therefore rephrased to "Close".

Good

Statistics on items
Various items now display detailed stats when examined in the Items Info.

Nice

DNA added
A horde of new DNA samples has been added, and some special DNA fragments...

Yeah more to loot!

Exploration
Imperial scout teams have reported that they have discovered new sites of interest. Where these sites are located is still classified awaiting further investigation.

Sweet!

General items added
A number of other items added to expand the range of items in Project Entropia.

Hurray! More thingys to loot!

Actually in this case no. This specific VU has taken long enough imo, and due to the nature of the bug I dont mind it. I would probably feel differently if it was a bug causing everything to crash when avatars try to chat.
In this case its just an extra feature Ive lived without so far and can do without a while longer.
