Was happy with all the conversions EXCEPT my new krayt DL44 with barrel and scope.
Before:
Speed 1.7
Damage 71-260
After:
Speed 2.42/1.54
Damage 66-146
Also noticed that PUPs are effectively useless...at least the converted ones. Mostly they don't help the weapon in the slightest. In one instance actually decreased the DPS. Now perhaps that's because I tried them out on very high level weapons and maybe I was hitting the weapon max?
Anyway, PUPs are one less thing to spend credits on...unless you're a crafter
Same thing with me, my krayted DL-44 took a major hit as well. I'll try and get the stats in the morning when I log back in, but due to their ingenious idea of taking the metal version instead of the black version up to a high caliber weapon, these will not be viable. My DE-10 came out ok, not as high as I wanted, but still was like 858mx after conversion... again I would need to log back in after I get some sleep to get the actual dps etc.
The respec sucks,my commando/smuggler got shafted due to their changing of prereqs despite being a hybrid requiring master marksman and now will have to grind to get back to a full combat template again while all my buds get to go out and enjoy their free templates.
Overall though, I wasn't displeased with the weapon/armor conversions. Word to the wise though, have room in your inventory if you have armor equipped and decide to drop whatever prof it was cert'd in. Had to delete enough items to be able to get free space to convert my comp into recon armor after being overloaded. Thank goodness that wasn't live because there was nothing I wanted to delete
to get my numbers i posted i just ran to my house on bria and TC- bra and jotted down the stats and SN#s of a bunch of weps on live and then on tc and saw how things matched up. The old dps was just some simple math (average wep damage / weapon speed).
Nothing real exciting about it.. but it was nice to identify a few bugs and complain in the right threads about certain weapons getting screwed over wth some data.
Interesting numbers....
I have some written down at home, I'll post them later on.
Here's something I noticed though.. my guns that had PUPs on them pre-conversion still had "yellow" names post-conversion ... but no longer showed they had PUPs on them. I was able to put one on these guns, and they worked as expected. Just wondering if the PUP-d or un-PUP-d numbers were used in the conversion.
My DE-10 that is like 440 max damage in live came out to like 800ish in the conversion.. Which doesn't seem quite fair if your 200 damage FWG5s were coming out about the same... God, and to think I've been obsessing about finding the perfect DE-10 for awhile now to slap my ADK on, and now they might just suck.
Numbers later.

Just right click like you would slice your armour and the text for conversion will come up, Its bugged atm and allows for double slicing.

Tell me if your original DL44 was black or metal please?
Many peoples DL44s converted to far worse than they started as. Mine did and it was black with scope and barrel.
I'm wondering if the conversion for DL44s is based on their customization; black gets converted to the lower DPS version and metal to the higher.
