http://forum.neocron-game.com/images/icons/icon14.png nice - can't say there is anything not to like about this patch.
I assume that because the way this change works, it is designed to apply only to newly picked up parts?Quote:

One should be able to merge the individual L stacks by dropping the items on each other. The F2 inventory saves the location and amount of items therefore they will not be automagically combined.Quote:

Like the patch in general, and the rare stacking is nice too :)
Thumbs up!
Great patch, the rare part stacking change will save so much time and storage space and people can actually buy unressed parts without fear of them all being junk the seller wanted to get rid of.
Which on the other hand takes some grittyness out of the game...Quote:

I mean.. even tanks got 99 WEP so even them could do so easily i guess.Quote:

Great idea :D
Your whole collection is unressed?
people could easily exploit rares being rolled on drop instead on research. the change was needed.Quote:

No, that's how it is on retail right now, the patch makes it so all unressed rares of the same type will stack together. That means all Ls in one stack, all Ts in one stack and all Es in one stack.
i don't think you know what you are talking about...Quote:

that said though is there really anything that would make you come back if you had stopped playing? or that you will even notice really in-game?Quote:

I see development heading the right way, dealing with some of the awful 2.2 changes and making the game playable (and compatible to modern systems) once again.Quote:
