Was reading a thread on the wanderhome server forum: http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=Wanderhome&message.id=53139

Its as follows:

Krayt tissues are only used in weapons that are assembled using a blaster powerhandler. The tissue itself is an optional subcomponent of the powerhandler.

What you are looking for is a vibro motor, which is dropped off of a Nyms Brawler on Lok. There are two different varities of motor; one lowers the speed rating of the weapon, and the other increases the damage. You most likely are more interested in increasing damage, as a quicker weapon won't help someone who is close to the speed cap.

A) Can someone confirm that information - that there is a Vibro Motor that can be used in LVA and VL.

B) What kind of boosts does it give? Good?

yes there are drops of these Vibro motors off Nym's like it is said. Some have been know to give extra stats like poision damage and such. I myself have started hunting them on my server, and am up to 5 so far. I don't recall the stats and am at work so can not check them.

The one's I have found however aren't anything so great.

I did a little hunting for them last night, killing a couple of the Nym folk in 'town' on Lok.

One dropped 3 "High Frequency Vibro Motors" with a +5 wound modifier.

A weaponsmith told me you need 4 to make an LVA, though I'm not sure if that is actually accurate. He said they're actually an enhancement that needs to be added to a standard vibro unit, rather than a replacement for the normal vibro unit. Not being a weaponsmith, I couldn't say for sure, so if anyone knows...

My Nym faction is now very bad and the guards in town attack on sight, so I won't be going back there until I'm a real Pikemaiden, not a lvl3 Brawler "Polearm" user.

but they are all identical and you need to make a schem for the factory (the 4th motor)

theyre usually +20 damage, -.2 speed, or +5 wound but im sure others exist

goes great in a basic lance but probably not worth the trouble in lva / vibro lance
