Couldn't they have had a better name for this? Or better artwork?

Am I allowed to put the stats up for it yet? I have them but I don't know if that would violate the new relaxed NDA or not.

Red Dwarf posted this in the Test Center notes:

Profession Chef

• Added a new drink; Rancor Aid. This drink provides a short term defense to electrolyte drain in addition to a small speed boost.

Its on TC right now if there are any TC chefs

so i'd say post all you want, cause there is no NDA or anything but some extra hard drive space needed to make it.

(I see it listed in my skills window, but i don't have a chef on TC)

ok, I'll post it here then:


It takes:
2 identical alcohols
45 units of Dathomirian leather hide
25 units of fruit
1 drink container
1 medium food additive

There aren't many ingredients available at this time. What I made had the following stats:

Filling (16-17)
Flavor (39-49)
Effect: Movement modifier +0
Quantity (9-10)

Only 3 lines can be experimented on, Filling, Flavor and Quantity. Nothing for Nutrition. The quantity was for large glasses. No experimentation lines affected the Movement modifier. Flavor seems to be in seconds (again.) I'll make more with some other ingredients but it's pretty limited with the frogs only being on Mustafar. It uses the same SR75%/DR25% that other foods with hide use for the quantity calculation. It could be that the missing nutrition line would affect the Movement modifier, but who knows.

Be sure to post in the TC bug notes that Nutrition line can't be experimented on. I can't see how a movement modifier of +0 is gonna help anyone though.....I wonder if it gets higher with BE tissues added?

Wish I had a Chef on TC

I had one once on TC-5 but she got dumped. Never bothered to work up my main TC toon to Chef.....since I'm on dial up its very hard to do meaningful testing .

Question...

There are 2 +movement speed foods already, K-18 ration and Parwan Nutricake. Why unbalancing Snare, and then add an additional movementbooster to counter it?

technically, those2 foods don't affect your movement speed, they just affect the timer of your /burstrun ability. the way i think the new one is supposed to work isn't at all related to burstrun, it seems to be intended to give a movement modifier of its own. with the filling relatively high and the duration so short i'm guessing that the defense to electrolyte drain part of it will be more useful than the speed modifier (if it indeed works, i haven't been able to test it vs ED at all yet).

I do not get why it cannot just be a resistance against Snare attacks, instead of specifically being a resistance against Electrolyte Drain.

Even with the extra effect of added movement speed, adding a food that gives resistance against a specific skill (ED), rather than the state (Snare), seems wierd to me.

What's next? A food against Charge Shot?

Oh well.

Its because of the huge outcry from the jedi community that made this go through. CM being a staple of all BH templates, the beta and jedi boards have been full of complaints about it. Adding a food is a good idea to me, as its a counter to this most used Snare, but has a limit with the filling stat.

Getting 0400 Carbs instead of Rifles means less damage. So it comes down to whether they want an snare that might save them, or extra damage that will kill them faster.

MBH/CM will still be Fotm, due to the Dots, the snare is only one small part of this really powerful template, and now there is a counter to it.
