Thread: How are people people getting such low SAC costs on thier weapons

When this all started post CU the word was
Speed + DMg on sub components because DPS is all.
Now... not so much DPA is god or so the debate rages
I've got some components that are 10 points to Speed and 2 points to damage (varies with exp results of course)but in my opinion my SAC cost is not really manageable.
So making new runs as these components run out and have been doing Damage maxed then balane of points into SAC.
Am I on the wrong track here? Starting to get a bit frustrated *chuckles*
You need to add Rifle Stocks for lower SAC... I can experiment my rifle stocks down to -24 Action Cost using good wood and metals. And in my opinion you should always throw 1 or 2 points at the "Efficiency" for the final product, and the rest at "Damage".

use your points to max out sac first. the points used in dam doesnt really make that much of a diffrence, those used in sac however makes a great one
I think you are talking about SUBCOMPONENTS experimentation there?

I am, but as far as I read the post so was the original poster?
Yeah I am talking subcomponents
on Final assembly of any weapons I ahve been maxing damage then dropping balance into SAC if it is a master level weapon or Speed if it's a novice level weapon.
i'm doing a balance now between sac and speed/damage.
I put some points to speed so i have that minimal increase. I do that on all subs.
Then it's time for sac to be lowerd and if i can 1 or 2 points into damage.
On subcomponents I put 8 points into SAC and keep trying until I get an amazing success...this brings SAC to -8. Then I put the remaining four points into speed (again, I keep trying until I get amazing succeses on both parts). On the final combine I max out damage and put the rest (usually 2 or 3 points) into speed. I find this is a good balance between damage, speed and SAC for most purposes. Naturally I'll go all DPS or all SAC if someone wants a custom weapon made that way. And always put a stock on a weapon that'll take one. My 2 creds.
Slim Vargo, Corbantis
I use usually around on components 10 on speed 2 on efficiency.
Regarding stocks I experiment them to -13 SAC and 0.01 speed, which I think is a good balance.

do you guys experiment one point at a time, or many at a time?
I go one at a time.
