The CU weapons have been stated as being the best possible stats one can achieve. Assuming +300 krayt is available post cu as a best possible enhancer, that puts the 701 max damage blue frog DE-10 at 401 base (assuming experimented on damage alone). My personal weapon shows a 263 base max damage, once you account for the krayt in it. Assuming this was not purely damage experimented, lets fudge that to a 275 max damage base. Is there some other enhancer out there I am missing, or perhaps some stronger than 300 krayt tissue? Assuming Krayt tissue is not increased post-CU, and there isnt an enhancement method I've not heard of, that represents roughly a 22% *increase* in damage output.

This could be accounted for by assuming the devs have "presliced" these stats, and 701 is infact a 35% damaged sliced maximum possible number, in which case there is an 11% decrease from current damage output max to post-cu. The examine window does not reveal the weapon as having been "modified by a smuggler", but I wouldnt put it past the devs to merely hit cap and tease us with the possibility of seeing 946 max dam DE-10s with "perfect" krayt tissue in them...

In either case, I'd like to hear what your "base" damage DE-10 would be. (For example my 402 presliced dmg was on a +139 krayted DE-10. "Base" dmg for this weapon would be 263)

I'm *expecting* a worse case scenario of a 11% decrease, but a 22% increase has me drooling...

I think those weapons on the frogs at the minute are top line i.e they don't come any better.

I don't think so. the min damage on the T21's are higher than the best max of any nonenhanced crafted T21 I have ever seen. Also weapon's like te T21 were supposed to get hgher damage to compenstae for there loss of ap. I think ap was primarily removed for2 reasons: 1. to reduce the calculations needed for combat. 2. eliminate the times when you could take more damage froma a high ap weapon becuase you wore armor, rather than if you went armorless.
