I can confirm these. Tonight some some friends of mine and I looted a similar item seen here. We looted 6 total. They haven't been used yet, but I believe that they are required for the loot-only NS energy lance schematic and they can also be used in other schematics that require vibro blade units.

Wow, I'm glad they are putting good loot in the game, but doesn't this create balance issues?

It's the same thing as ranged weapon enhancements, pistols get a huge advantage because of the percentage gain they get, same will happen for vibro knucklers/blades now, leaving the Axe and Lance pretty much screwed. I wish these things were better thought out before they make it in game,

Actually the units I looted will probably go into polearms. The reason? The damage is nice, but the speed bonus is better. I'm hoping to drop below 4 seconds on an LVA using these. The vibro knucklers/blades will be speed-capped no matter what and so the speed is irrelevant.

Ok, to add some new items, tonight I looted 8 identical Spider Fangs from a Fire Breating Spider in the new Genosian caves on Yavin 4. They are an enhancement for projectile feed mechanisms (bah, heh, yet another gun enhancment!). The ones I looted add 18 max damage, -.15s speed and -5 health cost.

I also received a High Velocity Pistol Barrel from the Rebel Themepark, although I have heard reports that they are not working properly. The ones I received had 20-25 damage, -.7s delay, 25 wound and 12 ideal range.

I'll post screen-shots when I can. Right now I'm busy trying to be the first person to confirm a new Scythe schematic. So far I have Genosian Sword Core and Genosian Reinforced Core schematics. These use 50 neutronium steel, a Genosian Power Core and can take an optional enhancement. Neutronium steel tends to have crappy UT and so these end up worse than you'd get with other cores. I have found some nice power cores with negative HAM usage. So maybe these will end up being decent with other looted items used in their construction. I also have a schematic for a DXR-6 Disruptor RIFLE. Yeah, a rifle, not a carbine. This one is fairly easy to get, although it seems that you can only get one per character (it is 5 uses as are the cores).

Ok, really I hadn't meant on spilling this info until I had a more complete picture, but I just couldn't stop talking. =-P

I went looking for a Gorax today, but never spotted one. I did a grid search for about 3 hours. Nothing. That doesn't mean they aren't spawning, I've spent that much time looking to Krayts before.

Ran across the good ole Stoneskin Monkey's . 90k ham, Armor, 80-100% protects. Zero loot. lol. Figures. I think we killed about 5 of them before the spawn was tapped. What good is a 90k animal with no loot? I mean, why would anyone stop to kill them. It's no wonder that are teh "loanliest" mob on the kill stats. They are a waste of time.

Anyway, I'm going to spend the next few days exclusively on Endor looking for them. I'll post any results I get. Would be nice if our WS Rep could verify that they are spawning at least.

Ok so i have read a few messages regarding looted high velocity feed mechs, some of you use some of you think they are crap ! Anyway, i have looted 3 from a Bounty Hit, all +20 with no reductions.

Any good to anyone ? Humour me and offer me a credit !

I got 8 rancor teeth yesterday. I talked to a weaponsmith and he said they are bugged and will not work in anything. Is that true?

Untrue. They replace the Sword Core component in melee weapons.
