Newbie MC5 traders are nicely spaced out around the cooking pot, so they stopped slam dancing, and that's nice. But they still do not sell tools, tools supplies, item parts, armor, drones, or PPU spells. Nor do they sell grenades, although if you think to ask all the NPCs there's one pro-city NPC and one anti-city NPC who have them. But then, they already did.
Newbie MC5 surface mobs consist almost entirely of 8/8 flying mowers and 10/10 "MC5 Mosqitos." Oh, come on, Lupus. Like I already told you once, starting characters just do not have the weapon lore to hit those. Please, please tone down the outdoor flying mobs in this area.
I did notice that rotten boxes are once again spawning weapon, weaponmod, armor, and implant parts, at least in newbie MC5. This breaks the Biotech monopoly on implant parts; while the Dome of Yorker in me approves, I'm not sure it was intentional. Still, it does solve the "no parts available" issue, kind of and sort of.
I concur that if there were any changes made in weapon lore as it affects pistols, it was too subtle for me to notice in newbie MC5.
