I assume that because the way this change works, it is designed to apply only to newly picked up parts?

Only mentioning this as anyone who has parts in their inventory already, the parts do not condense into the 3 L, T, and E stacks until they have been dropped and picked back up again.

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.

That's cool - I just wanted to make sure it was supposed to do what I saw. But that is all good :)

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...

I disagree. It takes away nothing and only adds realism. How on Earth should someone be able to know (even if it is only roughly) what a tech part is before it is even ressed.

By looking at it and sorting it optically. Even tho the inventory thumbs look all the same, if we are realistic ;), you would at least tell apart a blade component from a barrel and throw look-alike tech parts on the same pile, even tho you don't know what exactly it is. I mean.. even tanks got 99 WEP so even them could do so easily i guess.

Rare stacking!!! Zomg! I can Yo all them cabinets and condense my entire rare collection into 1 cabinet!!!!! plus all the apartments that hold them cabinets awesome!! Can never remember all the passwords anyways :p

Great idea :D

Your whole collection is unressed?

people could easily exploit rares being rolled on drop instead on research. the change was needed.

now they can just xploit whole stacks on unres'd parts woot! "wts stacks of unres'dx255 20m each"

((((

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.
