Though VXP / VA's wasn't explicitly mentioned in the announcement, the prevailing thought is we will now all end up with 72 VP's (without having to do funny boost stuff to maximize them). This is a big improvement so I don't end up with 66 VP dots anymore!

My question to the community is... WHY 72?

In my opinion, at the very least, 75 (being devisable by 15) makes more sense than 72.

But also, as a low-impact addition to make new dots a little cooler than old dots, why not 90 VP's to allow players to get 6 full VA's at Plateau?

Pro's of 90 VP's
-Minimal net sim/balance impact since most of the 6th VA's for positions are not going to be the most powerful
-More underused/fringe VA's actually get to be used to allow more strategy
-Makes the new dots seem a little new/cool
-More points to spend

Yes please

I am curious which user will be the first to come in this thread and call me a heretic, since 72 is the perfect magical number.

72-90

anywhere in that range is fine with me

75, I like the number.

75 would be great because of 5 x 15 = 75,
but 76 would be greater because of (5 x 15)+1 = 76, for those +1 VAs some use like OTK or Slow starter

Daedalus prefers 76,000, because that's how many he had on that super-annuated FS.

75 would be nice, 90 would be killer, 91 ...the bomb!

72 never made any sense to me.

Fwiw, I always thought 15 max per VA was a bit odd. SAs are 10.

You actually only earn 70 VPs, and get 2 bonus when you first hit L25. Getting 5 bonus VPs, instead of 2, doesn't seem like it would be game breaking .

I think that number came about as a combination of desired %'s and a desire to limit how many VA's you could have. Did you notice that it's roughly the same number of VA's as there are SA's in the archetype SA trees? Unless you spread out your VP's lower then 6 is what you end up with. And a 75% bonus is the best you can get with smaller bonuses also... same as SA's (5%, 3%, and 2%).
Because of that I think Bort will stick to that ideal he originally had. However it works, I think those things remain the same.

Am I reading announcement correct that it is unlimited VPs now? 68 by plateau and 81 by end of first plateau season?
