All HAM bars show numerical values when you hover over it. I never thought twice about looking for it there once I saw a HAM popup when selected.

If it is true though that 90% of players didn't know that, it would be a great tip of the week. I mainly knew it because of PVE combat. When you are in a new land, you gotta know whether you want a piece of something and knowing whether it has 1k HAM or 100k HAM is a vital stat.

My testing has proved thatan 18% and a 92% vehiclelast exactly the same amount of time before needing repair.


Also keep in mind once these deeds are created, on examination they do not display any duribility value.


So anyone telling you theres are better and charge higher prices is just plain ripping you off.






So you are saying a swoop with 1000 HAM vs one with 2300 HAM lasts just as long? I would love to see your data.







There is no displayable HAM value for any vehicels (At this time). So to your miss guided quote I answer YES









Many others have beat me to pointing out how retarded this statement you made was, so i will instead ask a question.


Whats it like being so fundamentally challanged that children in grade-school can figure out the game mechanics faster than you can?

Just nitpicking here but the vehicles do not have HAM at all... HAM is an acronym for Health Action Mind. I sorta think of the red bar as generic hitpoints / durability points. No offense intended to anyone here... Im just ... a nitpicker I guess.

Is it just me or does everyone think that cheese burger monster hasnt posted in a while!! I think someone embarrased!!




Crikey, sir. I'm looking forward to today. Up diddly up, down diddly down, whoops, poop, twiddly dee - decent scrap with the fiendish Red Baron - bit of a jolly old crash landing behind enemy lines - capture, torture, escape, and then back home in time for tea and medals

a 66% vehicle does not give 1200 ham or whatever was posted, it gives around 1950 for a speeder. A 99% speeder gives about 2450. so its roughly 50hp for every 5% of experimental increase. this is what everyone should know.

HAM has become the generic term for hitpoints, regardless of whether its split into three stats or not. HAM is the Kleenex(tm) of SWG.

Wow, I didn't know you could find the HAM of enemies as well--this will be very beneficial! This type of thing should be added to the combat section of the manual. Using Con just isn't exact...

I am sorry to say, but you can find the HAM numbers of anyone at this game:
creatures, NPCs, MOB, Krayt Dragons, Kimogilas, ATSTs, Jedi, other players, lairs, chubas, nightspiders, vehicles...


Remember: "All HAM bars show numerical values when you hover over it."


And any 8 years child playing this game discovered this a long time ago...but everyone that is buying a 1000 hit points swooper problably don't know how to see the vehicle hit points and problably is thinking that make a good business.


Why you think that some vehicles explode at the first laser shot? IMHO, if you have a 1000 hit points vehicles you don't can bring it to PvP...
