I looked though all the FAQ and couldnt come up with an answer. This is my main weapon I use. I was wondering two things:


1) Is it worth 2 mil a point to get my speed any lower?


2) If it is, then how much more speed before I'm capped?


And information, whould be greatly apreciated.

I assume you refer to your weapon's speed, not your Carbineer speed mod. There aren't really hard caps on weapon speed, that I'm aware of. Your gun is already quite fast and I wouldn't bother trying to get another crafted just to get it faster than that.

I can't get a proper feel with just Mod.Carbine Speeds.

Can you give your template? We can give far better answers with that known to us.

From my Prof.Calculator (Kodan's), you don't have enough SPs, namely the last box of Combat Prowess.

But to the point:

Your template provides a very high General Ranged Speed of +65.
Your M.Carbineer also provides a +50 to Carbine Speed.
When using Carbines, you have an immense +115 Total Carbine Speed.

You don't need any more speed! If I were you, if it is a factor, tell your Weaponsmith to disregard Speed in favor of other useful weapon traits.

Some additional comments:

Your defenses are balanced and very high. +200 Melee Defense, +225 Ranged Defense... VERY nice.

You have a decent selection of specials.

But there are 2 things in your template that holds your character from being a true killer in ranged combat.
+ Your accuracy is decent, but not great. Do something about that via skilltapes or whatever. Foods like Crispic (about +40 Ranged Accuracy) is nice but not permanent. Get your accuracy higher for more damage output, esp. against high defense characters.

+ Your FS Boxes of Combat Prowess --X- are a waste of SPs to your template. They grant Melee Accuracy! I suggest to drop them and get some FS Ranged Accuracy or FS Melee / Ranged Defenses. Either that, or get add Squad Leader xxx4 for a quick term fix instead of having useless FS Melee Accuracy.
