Discovery 5.1 - Aftershock: Dev Diary #7, Of People And Piracy

[Petitioner]

It's always neat to see some commodities coming back to the game. But is there ever going to be a plan to include pre 5.0 "RP fluff commodities" to the game? I mean the kind of items that have no impact on the economy, but are just fun to have on your ship. Pineal amulets, holo-tainment bands, holo-sculptures, Sunbucks, that kind of stuff is dearly missed and they used to add so much character to every base you would go to. I used to love making my ship look like it was hauling a ton of random crap in the hold, just like a regular spaceship would! I mean, heck. Not even Fort Bush, THE LPI base, is selling Sunbucks anymore. Are you ever going to take this into consideration?

I would very much like to do this.

What about VO return? Maybe some PoB Crafts via Munitions? Also What about some HRC routes to Mykolaiv (Aralsk) ?

Aralsk and other shipyard/research bases will have imports in 5.1. If there are any that don't, let us know as soon as the patch drops and fixing them will be my #1 priority.
As for Volgograd Ordinance, Kemwer Munitions, and APM Advanced Hardware, do not take this as authoritative, but my personal preference would be to re-add these as POB-crafted HRCs. However, this would require a lot of work from the econ team because these commodities would behave very differently from refined metals, so I have no idea how we would balance this. I'm personally a fan of the idea of bringing back these cute faction-specific commodities in whatever form but we want to make sure that they're actually adding value to the game that goes beyond being yet another interchangeable commodity with no real personality.
