new stiletto - only for trade skillers?

[______________Lemain]

With great interest I watched all those interesting parts in Tower's, which are needed to construct the stiletto. But OTOH a lot of high trade skills are needed, too. So: Is it only for those, who are skilled in these arts.
I ask, because I guess, the stiletto will be a nodrop item. If this is the case, I can't just give the items to a good engi and get a stiletto back, right?

[Krabbus]

you can hand the tradeskiller the parts and let him/her make the stiletto... after that you have to register your new stiletto for flying - after you have done that it's becoming nodrop

[Destractor]

aw, that would have been too funny if it had needed tradeskills.

Does any engie have enough ip to fly one?

[Turin]

No Engi will EVER use a stileeto. its numaricly impossible to my knowledge. Only those with green VA skill can get into a ql160 ( the lowest ) Stilletto.

I think was the third one.

No engie will EVER get the stilleto on? That's a little short-sighted, isn't it?

659 Total base VA for engie
+207 from QL 200 implants
+15 from aviator goggles
+15 (Shining and Bright Sense Implants, and a sense boost)
+2 Intelligenge and Agility boosts
+3 from 1 viral egg

That's 901 (there are plenty of other ways to add to sense, int, etc - such as wearing more than 1 viral egg or using a brain - as well...I was just trying to get to 900 as quickly as possible)

The only conflict in this setup is it conflicts with your shining head implant (although, like I said, there are other ways to get your stats and skills up - quite easily, I may add...).

Care to rethink that?

Sure it's possible, Provisioner, but...

I dont think many people are willing to sacrifice 5 cluster spots and buy aviator goggles plus a VTE just to be able to fly a nice-looking aircraft.

8)

Just my 2 cents...

(And yes, I understand that your point was to prove only that it is possible )

[Dyna18]

The VTE and the goggles is not so big a sacrifice, most use the egg anyway.

the 5 implant slots however is a very big one.

[Destractor]

I was more thinking about the amount of ip needed.

Can't say engies has spare ip ever for that try of thing (unless they don't bother with trade skills)

I'm just letting Turin know that it is numerically possible. I never said anything about it being worthwhile.

I can't see it's really all that worthwhile for any profession, really. He said it was "numaricly impossible", I said it wasn't....that's all
