Thread: What Skill Tapes//Armor Attachments Don't work?

Crawl speed is useless, doesn't work.
Rifle Aiming only works if you use /AIM from Ranged Support 1 fo Marksman. Thus unless you /aim shots, Rifle Aiming tapes/AA's dont do anything. Cover is also borked.
The ones that I thought were not working are:
Cover - Currently no accuracy/aim/speed/other bonuses for "You take cover". Just waste some HAM, when prone is just as good.
Block - Anyone ever seen in your combat spam anything related to block? It may be that it is rolled up into all of the "The XYZ attacks you and misses", not sure.

Ah...but they aren't broken.....assuming they were intended to work with the /aim command while holding a rifle....
Err yeah. Bad wording on my part. I apologize. Shouda put AIMing in a different spot. Just kinda did it cause you wrote it in the original post. And Cover is screwed. Lets make this easier.
WORKS:
Speed
Accuracy
Accuracy while moving
Aiming (Must use /aim from Ranged Support 1 of Marksman)
NOT WORKING:
Cover
Crawl Speed
UNSURE
Block*
Conceal
Block as I said, seems to be very random in both effectiveness, and damage prevented. 90% of the time I get a +Block, I can barely, if at all,notice the difference done. I wouldn't use these unless you have a spare socket and nothing to put it in.

Hehe, yes, + cover tapes do work. I found a +5 when I was fairly new and put it in a shirt. I played with /cover a bit and there was a noticeable difference in my odds of "You take cover." The problem is that after you take cover, there is no other benefit besides a cool message telling you "You take cover." Some day there will be a purpose, either hidden from radar or at least from being able to be tab-selected, or a to-hit bonus or something. Right now though, that shirt I put the +5 in sits at home collecting dust.

So there isn't a "Creature doesn't notice you shooting his head off'' Bonus given for using the 'take cover skill'? I always thought Take Cover wasa prereq for Conceal Shot? As you can tell i'm not a rifleman yet...
