Actual speed = weapon_speed * shot_penalty * (( 100 - rifle speed) * .01)

So if you have a laser rifle at speed 5.6
And you are firing Headshot 3's (time penalty x2.0 ??)
And say your rifle speed modifier is +75

Then Actual speed = 5.6 * 2.0 * ((100 - 75) * .01) = 2.8 seconds/shot

At master, rifle accuracy = +90 (if not master marksman) or +95 (if master marksman), so...

Actual speed (+90) = 5.6 * 2.0 * .10 = 1.12 seconds/shot

Actual speed (+95) = 5.6 * 2.0 * .05 = .56 seconds.shot, but 1 sec.cap so 1 sec/shot

So what if I'm a master marksman and master rifleman, and proceed to find a +5 rifle speed skill tape, that would make my speed with any gun shooting any special zero. Or what about a +6 rifle speed tape, negative speeds anyone? Anyone tried messing around with anything like this, it sounds quite interesting.

if you have higher than 100 rifle speed that just makes special shot use quicker. so you'll be able to shoot off your headshot three at the cap speed along with your regular shots. more riflespeed will be useless later on when they cap us at 3.0 attack speed. the +90 at just master rifleman will be more than enough to spam any shot at cap speed. =/ it'll be a very sad thing for rifleman if they dont increase our damage

whats this 3.0 speed cap? When is this going to happen? This is horrbile.

why would you PvE at master rifleman?

I won't be PvP much if at all at master. I need to hunt game to fill orders for merchents. I've been getting nice compensation for hides and meat. If fact, I started my char with this in mind, hunter.

but CH is much better for hunting..

It be a good idea add to Rifle Styles table information, about pool damage which make each shot

SIlly boy, I'm getting RICH off of organics. I'm in business here and buisiness is good (can't keep up with the orders). I have a meal ticket here for the rest of my gaming life and I get to go all over the galaxy.

MRM is my tool to make my MR look good

why pve? missions of course... grab some sort of decent paying mission, strafe2 them down, go back to town, lather, rinse, repeat

"the time multipliers of each special is also based on auto attacks being at x1, so while conceal shot is listed at x3 dmg, x3 time, it is in fact equal to auto attacks in dps, if it was listed as x4.5dmg and x3 time, it would mislead people into thinking that it has better dps than a regular auto attack."

"- if they ever change the auto attack damage multiplier, that table would not need to be updated. Much like in database management, it's better to have a fewer number of values that need to be updated for a single change."


I understood just about everything here .. until ppl started talking about "auto attack" ... can someone explain what auto attack is (vs manual attack ??). This thread is great btw .. don't find many informative, useful threads on forums these days.

is there an accuracy modifier for each shot or is it just your base acc.?
