Ok, i have posted here before about this, and now I have a new wrinkle.
I have a 6 set of gorax shards that are +156 max.
I have some of the new looted stocks that are 28/29 min/max
I know that crafted stocks can really drop the SAC costs (-15 or better).
How low could a WS (assuming a 12pt Master, great resources, crafting buffs, force crafting skills etc..) make the SAC on a czerka given the enhanacements listed above? Could it be close to the SAC cap? Or am I looking at a gun that will be around 88 SAC?
Nice thing is that the shards, the stock and the looted scope that I mentioned all provide a little speed bump, so I am hoping that the speed won't be too terrible. Add a full speed slice and I think I will be all set.

i'd worry about the sac before the speed, its far more important in my opinion, i'd use a crafted stock myself, max experiment on speed on the stock then rest into sac, should come out to bout -16 sac on stock, speed will be highish but u will have some exp points left after dmg exp to throw 2 into sac and 2 or 3 into speed. then the full speed slice.
just my opinion though.

If you use a looted stock instead of a crafted one, you are starting out with over 100 SAC on assembly. In order to bring that down to under ninety, you will have to waste 4-6 points of experimentation. It would be much better to find a WS who has some preCU stocks left. They have no speed penalty, and the bonus from the stocks is off by a decimal place, so the actual speed advantage is only -.07 or so. You will not have the damage bonus from the looted stock, but the amount of experimentation you will need to put into SAC to make this a usuable weapon will keep you from coming close to the damage cap anyway

whatever you do dont use the looted stocks, they just suck, find a ws on your server that has precu stocks, the czerka will cap on sac on assembly if done right, with 12pts to put into dmg / speed

With my resources, and using a stock, my carbines on assembly hit 78 sac. My stocks are -22 sac, so it would start out at 100. Using +156 shards, it will take 8-10 experimentations to cap damage, about 2 less if you use the looted stock. So, you would have at best 6 experimentations to reduce sac down from 100. Which you could probably get it down to the 82 range.

Yeah, this is what I have been thinking would be the outcome. So it looks like the best bet would be for me to use a crafted low SAC stock.
GAH - why dont casings drop in sets of 6 - then I wouldn't have to deal with this!!!!
Thanks for your responses.
