Combat Freedom & Crafting Update

Expanded combat choices, stronger components, faster production, improved creature behavior, and new quality-of-life features are now live on VLU Core3.

Combat and professions

More freedom. Fewer limits.

  • The combined +25 stat limit and additional +125 ceiling on armor and clothing attachment bonuses have been removed. Individual attachments remain limited to +25.
  • Pistol, carbine, and rifle abilities can now be used across all three conventional ranged weapon types.
  • Profession ownership remains enforced: profession-specific abilities still require the appropriate profession skills.
  • Properly certified launcher pistols can use pistol, carbine, and rifle abilities.
  • Light lightning cannons and other special-heavy weapons now support ability ranges up to 64 meters.
  • Level 200 and higher enemies now produce maximum-strength +25 armor or clothing attachments whenever an attachment drops. Drop rates and unrelated loot are unchanged.
  • Exceptionally high player defenses now receive their full contribution in combat calculations.

Crafting and components

Stronger materials

  • Armor components now generate in the same large-stack range as weapon and chemical components.
  • Armor-component effectiveness and resistance values have increased by 30%, including existing components.
  • Large armor, weapon, and chemical component stacks now have a right-click Split Stack option that preserves their crafted values.
  • Lightsaber crystals and pearls remain individual items and are excluded from component stacking.
  • Factories now finish production instantly, regardless of how many items are being manufactured.
  • Missing Master Tailor shirt schematics have been restored.

Player cities

Build without the wait

  • New player cities now begin immediately at maximum rank with the full Metropolis radius and civic-building access.
  • Player cities continue to require only one citizen to achieve and maintain maximum rank.
  • Once a mayor selects a city specialization, the city grants the benefits of every city specialization.
  • Existing cities with a specialization already selected receive all specialization benefits automatically.

Vehicles and stability

Reliable systems

01

BARC registration

Corrected the BARC speeder control-device registration that could report a wrong vehicle control-device template.

02

Safe migrations

Component-stack and effectiveness upgrades now persist correctly and will not be repeatedly applied.

03

Stronger validation

Component splitting, factory output, inventory capacity, and component ownership receive additional safeguards.
