Thread: Am I being reasonable for a DXR6?

I am getting ready to go shopping for a DXR6. I want the stats to be this at the minimum. Am i being resonable?
+70 range mod
4.0s max speed (I have +90 speed and want to shoot everything at 1.0s)
What will I have to equip this gun with to reach these stats? I think I may have enough +30 krayt tissues to make one, but if it can be made with all crafted components I would prefer it because I want to buy a lot of them to get a good slice.
Let me know what you think.
You shouldn't NEED any tissues to reach that speed. I think the standard DXR6s that my WS makes are 3.9 speed (not sure if those are the stocked ones or not. With that in mind, you should concentrait more on damage as far as tissues go. A FF stock would help, as it provides -.5 speed. That should get you to 4.0 easily. As for the range mod, I'm not sure if that's reasonable or not, but it sounds doable to me. Have your WS make you and advanced scope for it. I think that's your best bet to reach +70, unless you have an exceptional loot or something.
So, what I would do would be to find a 12 pt WS, get the best damage tissues you can find/afford, get a FF stock, and have the WS make an advanced scope. Let your WS take it from there, just tell them waht you want the final stats t be,they SHOULD know what they are doing.

Well, if you start at 4.0 (basic weapon), subtract .5 for the FF Stock, here is a table of tissue speed vs. speed slice you would need to get 2.0 speed total...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tissue Speed Speed Slice
-.3 37.5% <---(not gonna happen)
-.4 35.5% <---(not gonna happen)
-.5 33.3%
-.6 31.0%
-.7 28.6%
-.8 25.9%
-.9 23.1%
-1.020.0%
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, as you can see, it is POSSIBLE to get it down to 2.0 if you have at least -.5 tissues or better, but it's gonna take a lot of luck. The better the tissues you can find, the less you have to worry about the slice.

Before a slice? Most definitely asking too much.....
After a slice? Well you will need Krayt Tissue ( -0.5 is what I used) even with Imp Stocks......

With excellent resources, the 4.0 speed is achievable without too much effort, but it will be minusa stock.
The Looted stock is an option, of course.
I consider it more than an option. I think it's a must have. Especially on a carbine that is inherantly slow, such as the DXR6. My calcs on tissue speed vs. slice are based on 3.5 speed, which is 4.0 minus the .5 from the stock.
+70 Range mod?
Maybe.......
My current DXR is +33, with a standard +10 Scope. An Advanced scope is about +35 or so. That'll knock you up to +58
I don't see how a 12pt smith is going to magically get you +12 ideal range.
My main point on going to a 12 pt WS was just to get the best out of the weapon, not that it would be significantly better.
Once he's used 10pts to max the damage, those 2 extra point will get you about +2 to +4 (if REALLY lucky) on the final experimentation.
Blaster Barrels have some fairly hard caps on what you can achieve with them, stats-wise, with a +18 range mod being *roughly* the max you can achieve (yes, the gun I use has that).
Basically, +70 is a little overboard, but +60 is achievable with a modicum of effort. Even by (shock) a 10pt smith.

MY DXR6....
2.1 Speed - after 20% speed slice
141/264 Damage - with PU 163/350
37.8% Wound
+72 @ 22m
47/64/40 HAM
Used approx +50/-0.5 Krayt Tissues (don't remember exactly as I had 2 lots for the 5 Carbines I had made), Imp Stock, and Adv. Scope. Of course resources vary from server to server, but after 1 year there is little difference I am sure.
ONE-STAR huh?
Somebody wants to buy my DXR6?
