This weekend, I'm sitting in Coronet watching the spam and notice someone shouting out the waypoint of their Spice vendor. The thing that got my attention is they were telling people to hurry and stock up now because after the smuggler revamp spices would stack and we'd all be raising our prices.
I didn't put any stock in it, but I wanted to check in here before going off on a tear about the idiocy of spammers. Is this "stacking spices" thing something that's been confirmed or even discussed as anything more than a player's proposal?

Uh,
NOOOoooo.
Sounds like you got one crafty smuggler out to sell his spices any way he can- despite what it does to his rep when the new spice DO come out.
Far as I know there has been NO mention of stacking spices by ANYONE- and certainly not a DEV or anyone who really would know.
Hell, it's hard enough to get info on stuff that we actually ARE talking about less known **edit**e that's made up!

you know I've always thought that another unit called maybe a "double dose" or something would be cool. Lets say you make muon and pixie and these double dose things. These would allow you to take a second spice, or double up on one spice. Ofcourse the downer would be of both spices or if you took 2 of the same spice it would be twice as long but you know a muon and a pixie and I dont have to look for a doc all the time for my no med skills havin self

I was tossing the idea of 'chaining' around this weekend... real druggies get another fix, when the first ride's over. They don't wait through the shakes unless the have to, or they're in lockup.
When our downer hits, we should be able to take another spice. Yep, you still get the downer, but then again you get the upper of another spice.
Pretty soon, you could be running at a constant net-bonus, but your bonus wouldn't be nearly as high as the casual user. And when you stopped, you'd have to ride out the downer.
Maybe you could skillfully gateway yourself to other drugs, to offset different downer effects, but in the end, you'll pay the piper one way or another.
Gee, sound familiar?
