Ok...I have a question!

I have made an advanced vibro blade unit and am a little dissapointed...its about 15 points more powerful than the regular type but about 0.15 slower.

Thing is, Im unsure if they are bugged or not asI was only able to spend 5/10 points on damage...should I have been able to spend the full 10 or not? This could be explained by the Desh Copper I used, it only has a Shock Resistance of around 330, would this be the limiting factor or should Ibe able to experiment with all my points in one catagoryanyway?

If shock resistance is the experimental quality, then this is why you could only use half your points. The higher the quality, the higher you can experiment it to. While your 330 desh copper only lets you use 5, if it was 900+ you would probably get to use all 10 on damage.

Yeah thought so...curses. Thanks!

I've been able to make Knucks using advanced VB units made with crappy resources that are better than Knucks using regular VB units made with excellent resources.

Well so have I....but the increase in performance wasn't quite what I was expecting due to the crappy materials available.

Just FYI: Unit toughness should be the adv. BVU stat. Unless of course they're different from the regular ones.

Your lucky you can even make them, we've been waiting for Class 3 Solid petro to shift on Sunrunner for almost 6 weeks.

Many WeaponCrafters are currently crippled do to no shifts of certain minerals. Just be glad you got Class 3.

I think Wanderhome had Desh copper once... I missed it :/

Eclipse has only had Class 3 for a few days...you'll get it soon

Corbantis also got it for the first time this shift...and Ryll too =D Too bad rhodium steel sucks so much =(

Looking for some input on these units. Before experimentation and enhancement, my units come out at 6 min 8 max dmg. Basically, i'm looking for the reason why my VK's are finishing at 145 dmg and not 147-148. I don't know if it's because of the vibro blade units or the resources i use for the actual VK. I use steel for three of the slots and it is pretty good stuff, however the copper I use for one of the slots is only 768 SR and I can't sem to find any higher SR Copper. I was thinking my copper may be my problem but I wanted to get some input on my Vibro Blade Units as well. All replies are appreciated

I can't remember what my stats are after experimentation but I know w/ a +20 Nym motor the max dmg is 59, so I would assume it would be 39 max. What is this JTL copper called? I've heard about it but never used any or seen any i don't think.

If I do have 39 max dmg units then it must be the copper i'm using in the VK.
