I can't wait to get back in and see these out now that my computer might work.

[rentaspoon]

we should really do a tech news article

[Albatross]

Thanks for keeping us updated on the patches! How does one go about buying armor/clothes and weapons to change to? I haven't gotten to play in months so I'm backlogged on info. lol

 

*I'm also quite disappointed to learn that they are not planning to address the fps issues (due to the servers) until far into beta. A good chunk of players cannot play due to now having Titans or 980s... :(*

There are shops in both ArcCorp (better not to buy stuff there as they don't transfer to mPU) and Port Olisar. Do missions and retrieve stuff from Yela wrecks to get aUEC to buy all the things. 

 

It's best to ask us these stuff on the UOLTT Discord server here: discord.uoltt.org
