hi, i hope i hit the right forum here, and some dev reads this.
i dont know if pups are still in use after he CU, but if so, pls raise the items in one crate for some reasons.
-i am WS. if i craft them i fill up the whole factory (output hopper) with pups
-the vendor would have more capacity for items
-the customers inventory wouldnt be filled up with 100s of crates
-i.e a pistoleer, or tka they use pups like crazy, a crate of 10 is used up in very short.
i would suggest to have pups in crates of at least 50, 100 would be better, if that would be possible.
tell me what you think about this ...
greetings

Probably the wrong forum but I agree 100%
devs complain about database space issues, they should:
- Allow crates to stack50 (or more) like stims
- Allow items to be put back in crates
- Allow crates to be put on a vendor and items from it sold individually

while it technically does have an economic impact, probably not the best forum.
But aside from that, I would like to see pups in crates higher than 10, as its quite inconveniencing, especially for the professions that are constantly needing to replace them.

ok, then pls tell me, in what forum it would be better to post in, so that the chance a dev reads this is the highest.
thanks in advance

Well it would depend. Powerups are more of an artisan/weaponsmith thing, so one of those profession forums would be appropriate. But this also concerns the size of the crate which could indicate this one. Part of the reasons that people have guessed about smaller crate sizes is to prevent fast production of crafted goods. Keeps people from dominating the market and generally influences the customer to do repeat sales later on, if you buy everything you need for 3 months of power-ups that probably isn't a good thing for the flow of the economy.

there is not much of a market for selling powerups, why is that? crates are too small.it takes up too much space.most peoplejust get there own resources and get someone to make a schematic. drop a factory and storage the pu in the output hopper.
you can go buy the crates, finding room for them is the hard part. 1000 pu or 100 items don't last very long.

what do you mean, there is no market for pups ?? i sell them like crazy. first i just wanted to have them in my shop as a service cause my business is WS mainly, but ppl buy pups like crazy, and filling up the vendor is no fun, cause my production is on another planet, than my shop. so i have to travel with tons of10 item-crates, my whole inventory and backpack is full with pups travelling back and forward from my shop and to my factories.
i sell about 300 crates per week, and it would be more easy to travel once, and fill up the vendors, than travelling 4-5 times

Now it's like I don't support any increase in crate size. There are some components like OMUs that I think should at least be crated in 5 unit crates. But I think with most finished goods that the crate shouldn't be so large for the reasons I stated above.

i have sold over 1 billion creditsworth of stuffon my vendor, iget alot of traffic.there are always at least 100 crate of powerups on my vendor, and they sit. i don't like to put more, it takes too much time to load something that sells for 1500 credits. no one likes to travel all the time to get powerups. they need to be in bigger crates.
i carry 50 crates with me, i can go through that in a few nights.
