A couple of creds I imagine. If you are on radiant I can alleviate your inventory space for a grand or so....

I bought 2 above-average Jawa Ions off of a mall vendor for 22K each.
I am smuggler so I sliced them on the spot and got a 34% damage slice on the first,
which brought the damage up to a bit over 300... 310 I think (am at work).
So PLEASE dont go spending a million on a sliced Jawa Ion that is barely over 300!
Instead, I would recommend doing this:
-- Find a vendor that has a decent amount of GOOD, UNSLICED Jawa Ions for sale
-- Find a smuggler and tell him you are going to buy Jawa Ions until you get a
good damage slice and ask if he will accompany you.
-- Start buying them one at a time and have him slice each one.
Now obviously this can go good or bad. With average luck you can end up with a
nice 300+ Jawa Ion for only a couple of hundred K. Bad luck might put you up
near a million, but if you were going to spend that anyway... what the heck!

Yeah, most krayt weapons only get an extra +30 max damage which can be pointless with a bad experimentation, less the perfect resources, or a bad slice. I've seen plenty of normal weapon that were well made and had a good slice be way better then krayt versions.

You ever seen a non krayt Jawa with 500 damage?

I said most krayt weapons. Don't be fooled. I have a krayt jawa also. I was just stating that you can slap the word krayt on a weapon and people will buy it when there can be a better WS's vendor right next door with normal weapons that have higher stats. But I can almost guaruntee that 500+ jawa's aren't easily made even with krayt tissue. I've been looking for one for the past 6 months.

CrashNgoBoom is correct.
In my many shopping trips to the malls outside Coronet, I have seen some utterly
ridiculous high-priced "Krayt" weapons with WORSE stats than a well-made "off the shelf"
weapon of the same type.
I remember once seeing a Krayt Laser Rifle on sale for 800K on one vendor, and on the
vendor next to it was one with BETTER stats for around 30K. So some of you may have
Ub3r Krayt weapons that are far superior... but heed CrashNgoBoom's warning before you
jump to buy one.

I see you are on SF. Heh you had the oppurtunity to buy a 500 max and a 522 max on Gruelokks vendor in Mos Vegas. 4mil for the 500 and 5 mil for the 522. I bought the 500 friend of mine bought the 522.

I need to shop in MV more often. I just resintely started buying armor off Gruelokk and have to give him his props on the AS skills. I must have missed that sale though. But I rarely have more then a mil on me at any given time so it wouldn't really matter.

Mines 5.8 speed, 378 max damage, but the reason I'm not spending stupid amounts of money on these things is because after the combat balance, there gonna be useless anyway in PVP.

I don't understand why so many people use Jawa's, just because it has stun damage?
T21's EASILY hit WAY harder then any other rifle in the game, wether the target is wearing 90% energy armor, or underwear
Its all about the one thing that no one takes into account - Armor Piercing - Jawa's have none, so basically 40% stun armor and a PSG will pretty much take even krayt jawa's down to no more then 50 dmg
T21's have heavy armor peircing so 90% pretty much goes down to around 40% and you hit way way harder then Jawa

I think I remember reading somewhere that the AP vs AR in PvP is broken. Buteven if it does work the Jawa is still AP1 which is enough to negate any PSG's or Comp. I do know however from many, many ,many personal experiences that if your target is not wearing both a good PSG and 40% stun layer he's going to drop way faster thenusing any other weapon. The only time I use my other weapons is if they are wearing nothing I'll go to the T21 for a one hit kill or if the have all the stun protection then I'll go to a DXR-6b which is almost as powerful as a T21 and will cut right through a PSG.
