Thread: Socket Cluster fix / Level 6 modules
Umberto (MDE, Valcyn)
Stacking modules is not an exploit, man. That's different than stacking clusters which is impossible now -- thank f*cking god.

I am unclear as to whether or not the removal of stacking socket clusters will make it impossible to make level 6 module out of 2 level 4 modules. Does anybody know this? If I have to use neutronium steel (very rare and expensive on Valcyn) just to make a useful droid, I will probably be switching to another profession (or game).

Agreed.
I can honestly say I've never made an "uber" droid with the exploit - up until the last patch when multiple crafting stations were added, there weren't even enough modules for it to be more than a nifty trick.
However, I also am in the same boat as Umberto - I don't even KNOW if neutronium steel has even shown up on my server - I gave up in month four or five of live play searching for it actively, but I deal in a lot of resources and assume I would have come across some if it indeed was in-server. If I found some, I'd buy it - but that and Lidium Extrusive still seem MIA.
Now, this is the hairy part, and what I have been wondering - while you cannot put a cluster in a cluster (good thing), can you still put a cluster in a regular module slot? Has anyone actually done this on test - not assuming based on the cryptic patch notes?

why on whatever planet your from would you use all six of an ADV R3's slots on medical? when you can just make a single level six, get the 12 and MCR 110 with a SINGLE item/slot?!??!!?

Thank goodness. I got so **edit** tired of seeing a droid vendor in my PA mall, that wasn't even part of the guild selling friggin probots with 5 or 6 modules per droid for the same price I was selling with 2 modules.
The big kicker is I finally saw the guy one day stocking the vendor and he wasn't even a Master Droid Engineer, yet all of the 5+ modules were of lvl 6 quality. I told him it was an exploit and he just gave me the "Lol, turn me in" bit.
Even with the supposed "changes" coming over the next couple months, I think I give up. My screaming and ranting has emotionally drained me from this game. Not so much screaming and ranting at other DE's with opposing views, but the utter lack of any kind of explanations or real interest from the developers. Maybe some lucky DE that has the balls to stick around will inherit my uber DE zoot suit (if you message me in game, your off the "lucky" list).
I was sticking around to see if the BLL droids may actually sell well, but after seeing the one module socket clarification by JustG, I thnk I have endured enough. I would hang around long enough to see if the BLL makes a decent combat droid, but I vaguely recall seeing only R seriesand the Talking droids being in that batch.
Gah, I don't know. It's only $15 to see if they stick true to thier word for next month, but that $15 really adds up when you keep getting your butt dragged through the mudmonth after month.
stacking clusters inside of clusters is now "fixed" on live or test?
if test only - anyone know when it will go live?
