Here's some stuff I've been wondering since I've become MBH.
1. What's the formula for energy resist? What's the difference between 8015 and 8152 energy resist?
2. Will medic 0020 or medic 0200 with bacta toss enhancer heal better?
3. Is there a command to dismount or store your vehicle?
4. What is the fastest vehicle? A barc? New 8 person transport?
5. Which instance of the Ryatt trail do you mostly find Jedi AFKing in?
6. I've heard shock absorbent padding sometimes drops from lower level NPC's like reb/imps and CorSec. What is a good level range for these?
7. Is the burst run food (parwan) an instantaneous effect? I've tried using it and bursting again right away but I wasn't able to get it to work. How much does the efficiency on the parwan help the burst run? Duration, speed?
8. How long does startle shot prevent an action like KD recovery?
9. Are the listed jedi mission payouts (45-51ish K) related to anything or random?
10. Is it possible to do a "ranged deathblow" of any kind? I hate having to try and gun them down again while I run up to DB.
11. How do the numbers and rating on a PSG affect real gameplay? For example, is the recharge rate in protection per second?
Thanks in advance, I realize Akast had a question thread going but he said it was until the servers were up.

3. Is there a command to dismount or store your vehicle?
Command is /dismount and /mount to get on and off vehicle. I don't know if there is a store command never tried. Maybe /store...
4. What is the fastest vehicle? A barc? New 8 person transport?
8 person skiff is supposed to be but I have not been in one yet.
5. Which instance of the Ryatt trail do you mostly find Jedi AFKing in?
They don't anymore.
9. Are the listed jedi mission payouts (45-51ish K) related to anything or random?
I am pretty sure this is random, you will get more money based on the level of the Jedi but you dont know that till he is dead.
10. Is it possible to do a "ranged deathblow" of any kind? I hate having to try and gun them down again while I run up to DB.
I think they took sniper shot (a ranged DB away from rifleman) so no.

1. What's the formula for energy resist? What's the difference between 8015 and 8152 energy resist?
Very very little. Less than a single percent.
2. Will medic 0020 or medic 0200 with bacta toss enhancer heal better?
I would say 0200 because of the enhancer.
3. Is there a command to dismount or store your vehicle?
/dismount
and
/target <vehicle name>;
/store;
You can also double click it tomount/dismout it and place it on your toolbar to call/store..
4. What is the fastest vehicle? A barc? New 8 person transport?
Jetpack/BARC/AV-21/Swoops are the joint fastest but the Swoop performs badly on Gradients wheras the others do not. The Jetpack also has a tighter turning circle.
5. Which instance of the Ryatt trail do you mostly find Jedi AFKing in?
Varies from server to server although I think AFK'ers don't tend to go there any more since they made Feral Wookies Elite Marks.
6. I've heard shock absorbent padding sometimes drops from lower level NPC's like reb/imps and CorSec. What is a good level range for these?
Level 50'ish. The Imp NPCs at the Weapons research facility POI on Naboo also drop.
7. Is the burst run food (parwan) an instantaneous effect? I've tried using it and bursting again right away but I wasn't able to get it to work. How much does the efficiency on the parwan help the burst run? Duration, speed?
It is instant although if you used /burst without parwan, the parwan will do nothing when you eat it until the Burst run timer refreshes.
8. How long does startle shot prevent an action like KD recovery?
5 seconds though it breaks on damage.
9. Are the listed jedi mission payouts (45-51ish K) related to anything or random?
I think it's random although there have been numerous instances of BH getting the same mission at the same time so what displays on the terminals may be related to visibility.
10. Is it possible to do a "ranged deathblow" of any kind? I hate having to try and gun them down again while I run up to DB.
Nope.
11. How do the numbers and rating on a PSG affect real gameplay? For example, is the recharge rate in protection per second?
A PSG is virtually impossible to outdamage to the point where it reaches 0. Better to use a Kinetic weapon.

3. Just put the bike on your toolbar and click it. It will store and pop you off. Click your bike on the toolbar again, and it will call. Simply double click and you're back on it.

Thanks guys, this will help me make a spiffy newrush attack macro with the vehicle commands.
I'll also remember to eat the parwan before bursting.
Very good Dalla.

I'll try and answer as much as I can.
1. The exact forumla is posted somewhere on the armorsmith forum, I dont remember the exact percentages. But 8015 and 8152 is almost nothing. Like .00005%. For reference the difference between 6000 and 8000 is about 4% more resist. Or something like that... again check AS forum to verify.
2. 0.0.2.0 will heal better, people get 0.2.0.0 simply to have a "backup" heal. I would not advise getting bacta toss though since using it will root you for about 3 seconds, which usually gives anyone enough time to do more damage to you then you would have healed.
3. You would have to make a macro. Place your vehicle in a separate toolbar, for this example it's the second toolbar and first slot. Macro would look like this:
/target BARC;
/dismount;
/ui action toolbarPane01;
/ui action toolbarSLot00;
/pause .5;
/target BARC;
/pause .5;
/mount;
/ui action toolbarPane00;
/dismount;
/ui action toolbarPane01;
/ui action toolbarSLot00;
/pause .5;
/target BARC;
/pause .5;
/mount;
/ui action toolbarPane00;
I hope I did that right, I wrote it off the top of my head. But essentially if you have a BARC out, it would target and dismount. If you did not have a BARC out it would call one out and mount it for you. Theorically anyway... would have to actually test ingame.
4. Some people say the BARC has the best terrain negotiation, making it the fastest on hills, etc. But most people that race seem to use the av-21, so that might be the fastest. The difference seems very minimal between the two.
5. Which instance? Or what area? Instance is random since they're all the same. Usually they're on the last level. But lately I've heard of them going to avatar, where you cant reach them. Personally I dont hunt there since I dont really find the trouble worth it.
6. I've found them from the low level 20-30's. But the drop rate for these things are incredibly low. 1 out of 100 for me, but my luck may be different.
7. Parwan is only instaneous if the reuse is 90% of above. That's the first number. You want to find something with 90% and around 22-25 filling. Duration and speed seems the same from the ones I've used. Just a regular burstrun that you can chain together. Make sure you dont use the skill burstrun before you use parwans as they will not work after the skill.
8. I think startle shot is about 5-6 seconds, I tested it with a friend but the actual number escapes me right now.
9. Random. People like to say that each payout is for specfic Jedi hence guildmates being able to pick the same jedi from just the payout and description. But from my testing this is false and purely coincidence.
10. There should but there isnt. My personal opinion is that deathblows should be taken off BH/Jedi encounters. If you only want to incap you should be able to disable the mission in the datapad, but deathblows should be instanteous for BH at range. Currently though you will have to settle for a triple incap at range and hope you dont get unlucky and miss.
11. This I dont pay attention to, so I cant answer. From what I understand recharge efficiency is just how fast it recharges. But for Jedi encounters PSG do not help anyway. If you must use one, get the imperial psg from the quests on dant. Those provide +10 general accuracy.
