Just made a schematic for some power-handlersthat have -2.00 speed modifier (got it on the dot heh). The krayt was -1.53, and I used normal BPH. Does this win the speed award?

Also wondering what to make out of them. My first idea would be a flamethrower: with a good speed slice and speed powerup, could get it to about 1.4 speed by my calculations. I tried making a D18 out of one of them, going for the 0.0 speed heh, but got a bad moderate, ended up 0.6 I think. I was at 0.5 after first 4 points.

Flamethrowers can't be powered up (yet)

but that's the fastest I've seen thus far.

very nice indeed.......

thats a very nice schematic you have must have taken some good materials.....good luck on the nice guns that come out of em...

Did you get a failure during damage experimentation? They shouldn't be able to go up that high normally no matter what materials are being used.

I've only heard of this happening once before, with a proj feed mechanism that ended up with -1.x speed.

are you talking about blaster power handlers? or am i missing something? my normal ones come out -.4x at most, and ABPH are -.3x you've got -2.00 what am I doing wrong? lol these resources I use r top notch, so I think I'm misunderstanding your post... please elaborate

*points to the word krayt in the first paragraph*

ah ok ok, i read it too fast, thought he said he made something better than krayt, ok, thanks, i'm just an idiot, thanks

I can vouch for Charb.

**edit**, that's right. Can't powerup the flame. So what would a 2.1 speed flamethrower fetch pricewise would you say?

Name your price and someone will pay it, double it if you get a good speed slice.

The question now is, how long will it take Macross to come in here and say "Yeah, I had a few 110 -1.9 tissues back in August. Made a 1.7 flamethrower."

I don't want to ask silly questions but isn't there base speeds that no matter what anything else says the game will not let us go lower? I thought that pistols were based at 1.0 speed, carbines around 2.0, rifles at 3.0 along with heavy weapons. We can squeeze speeds as low as we want but the servers will not allow weapons of specific types to drop below base numbers. I know I have watched pistols fired by Master pistoleers that should have been 0.0 speed ( like a continuous laser I guess ) and there was a definite pause between shots.

The speed cap is 1 shot per second regardless of weapon (just watch a Master Rifleman with a T21). Weapons with speeds below 1.0 can still be useful for spamming special moves with very long delays, such as Stopping Shot or Last Ditch.
