Item description - Armor

FYI, the Item Description for armor still says that it can be created from metal.

In some places it might be that way. Not all constructors convert raw materials into the same items, depending on location.
Taking metal to one in Sapphire might yield different results than taking metal to a constructor elsewhere.

I never knew that...

Neither did I.

Unless it's a carry-over from the 1.x version. I found a constructor that still offers probes for platinum.

I'm not sure it is a carry-over though, as other items were offered that differed from the regular menu.

You were right the first time RC. Dependant upon location - econ/tech level in a given system will determine the "exchange" available in system-located constructors. In some systems, I've seen platinum go for electronics, and a hydrogen/fusion/jump drive conversion.......and other fantastic stuff !

It changed to machine parts since the expansion (partially because of me

) but I guess vice forgot about the description.

Yup, will be updated in the next version. Thanks.

Actually, these are now the standard conversions. It was changed to aid in custom weapons construction.

I did just now realize that I was "preaching to the choir". Sorry for belaboring the obvious. I'll pack up my tent....
