What I mean is, how much more effective is 60 SAC then 70 SAC, and 90 SAC from 100 SAC? Is it a limited returns function like the speed function? Or does 100 SAC mean 100 Actionmultiplyed bythe Special modifyer used?

CM's are like nukes. You have them just incase you need them, but as soon as you start using yours the other guys start using theirs and everything goes to hell-PyschoticChipmunk -The First line of the Riflenomican.

Way i look at it is SAC is special attack cost. So the lower the better. I always assumed that having an SAC of 60 on a weapon means its costs 60 action points every time you fire with it. Presumably specials will use a bonus on that. So the lower it is the better.

Of course i could be totally wrong here and get shot down in flames but I'll take my chances

Each special has a SAC modifier, not sure what the values are. Thereare no diminishing returns on lower SAC. The lower you get, the longer you can use higher damage specials. The longer you can use high damage specials, the higher your real DPS is.
