i took tissues to troll today on the naritus server. everythig was goin fine, the launcher pistol he made for a friend of mine turned out great. then the laser rifle. CRITICAL FAILURE! first time hes ever had a critical failure. coincidence? did troll steel my laser rifle? was it just time for him to havea failure?


needless to say i was pissed. but what could i do.

Havn't held one, I've seen 3 or 4 lasers in a krayt weapon vendor, but the 700k pricetag put me off them. (I knew I should have farmed cash on theold Endor missions. )

Rifleman: "What is the rifleman advantage you fear the most?"
Pistoleer: "It has to be your Faster Crawl speed. In fact I think crawl speed isn't working correctly, surely a pistoleer should be the fastest crawler."

It's just that the return on making krayt rifles is subpar. Making krayt anything-with-more-than-one-power-handler is subpar actually. Rifles with one handler would get the return, but rifles with one handler tend to be pretty poor - saving an E11 rifle's potential should plumbum iron ever spawn that wasn't complete trash.


Seeing as multiple handlers aren't stacking their effects, every extra krayt tissue you use is 'wasted'. In making a Krayt Laser rifle, you'll need 4. That's 4 potential FWG5s. That's a lot of missed opportunity.


To make things level it should be that a Krayt tissue is like a permanent powerup effect. Drag and drop onto a weapon, any weapon, to get the effect permanently attribute to the gun. No need for schematics, wasting of multiple tissues for no payoff ...


Anyway I am sure it's possible, and I'm sure he probably did fail. We weaponsmiths have been copping a lot of failures lately. Heck, I find I critical failtinkering withpowerups every 4 or 5 goes - master WS, master Artisan, 43 rated crafting station.

Agreed on the failures thing, I saw a post from the guy that runs the krayt shop saying he failed 5 times in a row or something like that.


In my opinion to really level things up they need to make krayt tissues percentage based AND use your suggestion.


Adding +30 damage to a 300 damage weapon is nowhere near as effective as adding it to a 100 damage weapon.

well well


how can i say this, me being the uber player


As a master rifleman, speed isnt an issure anymore so im just listing the damages from what i can remember!


I have a Kryatt Laser 102 -595 (paid only 25k for it, i think he made a mistake)


I have a Kryatt Jawa 120 - 260 (paid only 20k for it)


I have a Kryatt SG 82 120-260 (paid 30k for it)


he did have a T21 for 500k but that stats werent bad but when you compare it to the laser i got it wasnt worth it.


The guy also had some even better Lasers, Jawas etc.. but i got what i thought was the best damage for value ones.


And i must say Strafe Shot 2 at Master Rifleman and my Kryatt Laser took down 3 Storm Troppers in 3 shots.
