I'm so very confused by Accuracy mods. "Pistol Accuracy" I get... but " ...while moving" vrs " ...while standing" vrs " ...while doing Laundry" vrs " ...while watching Springer"... My head spins.
I have formulated a theory (well actually two but the one involving alien tuba players may be a bit far fetched), involving the "while xxxx" mods helping to aliveate the moving and standing negative modifiers, but I have no idea what those base neg mods are...
In the end, I've determined I need help. Psychiatric help *and* help figuring this out. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how this works, and what the "base" standing/moving/etc modifiers are?
A Master Pistoleer (with only Marksman Pistols) has the following modifiers regarding accuracy:
Pistol Accuracy: +95
....while Moving: +30
...while Standing:+15
From this I assume we use the following formulas, where "x" is the modifier for standing, "y" the modifier for moving, and "z" the modifier for laying down
Prone Accuracy = 95 + z
Kneeling Accuracy = 95
Standing Accuracy = 95 - x + 15
Moving Accuracy = 95 - y + 30
Can anyone fill in the variables and/or let me know what else is applied to the formula?
...btw, apparently we get no bonuses while watching Springer.

Ok, I for a time was a Master Pistoleer, Novice Commando, Smuggler 0040, and BH 0040.
I could use pretty much all the pistols available in game..
The thing I discovered... Was that when you run you get modifiers and such, so if your are running tro someone you will notice the mod by the target's head.. while standing still about 20m away it might say +20, if you even move slightly it drops instantly to like +5, or even -15, Now where the modifiers you get while running, etc, means you suffer less negatives to those modifiers.. so usually when I ran towards someone while shooting cause of my profs, I would only have a -5 or so, meaning my accurasy normally at 155 was actually shooting at 150, vs if I am standing still not moving, it was +20, meaning I was hitting for 175 or so.. anyhow I am sorry I dont have exact numbers for you, but that is how it your mods take into effect. BTW I really miss this char..
But since I went Master Pistoleer, smuggler 0040, Master TK, I take the minimum damage on all things.. Very nice 
ranged mitigation and melee mitigation and toughness etc.

Sounds like there may be multiple "moving" modifiers at work in the game, 1 for walking, 1 for running, etc. I'm sure there's even ones for riding bantha while galloping and singing the theme to Dallas as well.
The big dissadvantage to playing an MMORPG vrs a Pen-and-Paper RPG is in the Pen-and-Paper, you know what all the numbers are, you can actually see the mechanics at work. Unfortunately, I doubt any of us will ever "see" the mechanics without hacking the exe files and sifting through line upon line of code, something far beyond my abilities both technically and legally, or tieing up a head developer and torturing them, which is beyond my abilities to focus for any length of time on a distant goal... oh and that pesky legal thing again.
