Thread: Worth Getting a T-21?
Okay... must be something in my cut-and-paste of MindShot 101. Here goes again...
Pardon me while I play with the forums here for a minute... I apologize for putting everyone through this...
But if I cut and paste in my Mindshots 101 text, Submit does not work....
MINDSHOTS 101: HOW MINDSHOTS WORK
Here is how Mindshots work. This is an imaginary sequence of events that should accurately reflect
what will happen in SWG.
In this example, the following rules apply:
-- Timer starts from 0 when you first pull the trigger.
-- You fire MS2, then MS1, then another MS2 and another MS1.
-- Assume creature just stands there so you can see what happens.
00 seconds: you fire first MS2 and hit for 900 pts.
NO DAMAGE OCCURS ON THIS SHOT. Creatures HAM bars do not change.
04 seconds: you fire first MS1 and hit for 522 pts.
NO DAMAGE OCCURS ON THIS SHOT. Creatures HAM bars do not change.
20 seconds: first bleed (or "tick") of your MS2 occurs: Creature loses -900 Mind.
24 seconds: first bleed (or "tick") of your MS1 occurs: Creature loses -522 Mind.
30 seconds: you fire a second MS2, hit for 855 pts.
This shotisIGNORED because new value is LESS than original MS2 of 900.
35 seconds: you fire a second MS1 and hit for 711 pts.
This shot REPLACES the first MS1 because the damage is greater than 522.
NO damage occurs to creature with this new shot.
40 seconds: second bleed from original MS2 occurs. Creature loses another -900 mind.
55 seconds: first bleed from SECOND MS1 occurs. Creature loses -711 pts. mind.
Other Notes:
-- Bleeds by themselves do not give you XP. In order to get XP you MUST shoot the creature with
any other rifle shot that does immediate damage, such as a Head Shot.
-- Citairen_Mugarrii reported that MS2 bleeds tick every 20 seconds for Three minutes (9 bleeds)
-- and that MS1 bleeds tick every 20 seconds for Two minutes (6 bleeds)
Damage:
-- Mindshot 1does 1.5x damage
-- Mindshot 2does 2.0x damage
-- Mindshots IGNORE armor and resists, as I understand it.
-- Weapon's Armor Piercing (AP) MAY be taken into account... leaning towards 'No'
On Flurry... let's see
Valencia outside Dantooine Imp outpost, good mid range weapons, and 10-20 k ish prices.
Kam, out in Naboo boonies, make sure he has them in stock before you make the run, he makes an excellent unsliced T-21. Prices are so so.
Riona outside Coronet, makes high end T-21's Krayt and such, pricey,20k -1 million +But Riona will reapair them for you when they start to decay, and shes on the up and up.
Black Market outside Bestine, nice selection, prices are typical.
Reldurpa makes good weapons, but doesnt stock T-21's anymore per Reld. He might make them by request though.
I have been to Art Works (wookie works) and Starminer outside Coronet, niether had T-21's in stock, but there both fine weaponsmiths.
It's funny how many Flurry riflemen are here, I usually check Art-Works, Reld's, Riona's Thunky's, Black Market Weapons, & the Wet Spot every few days. Only recently did someone point me to Valencia on Dantooine by the Imp outpost, she's got pre-sliced's that are generally just as good as Riona's as MUCH MUCH better prices.
I picked up a T-21 from Riona last month that was 71 mind cost, 178 base and 466 max damage. Was 150k sadly it's about used up hehe.
Valencia is becoming my new favorite weapon supplier 
Yeah, I'm betting you'll see a bingo parlor full of PC Jedi's before you see a T-21 on Radiant.
