My current career choice has forced me to surrender all weapon skill save novice marksman. Thus, if I don't want to spend my days cowering from krettles,I'm limited in my weaponry to the oft-maligned CDEF. I'm curious what you folks think you could produce given the best possible resources, tissues, the whole nine. If possible, please let me know what resources (by name) and enhancements you would add to make it the most uberest cdef in the galaxy credit is not an object .

Thanks,

PS all I really want it for is warning shot, but it'd be fun to see how much damage it could do.

The CDEF is made from raw resources only (just two, I think) so there are no enhancements to help out. They are also made using artisan experimentation and not weapon so a master artisan is the best bet. I would guess that the best will come from a combination of best resources, best crafting station (if that actually helps -- seems to be a bit of evidence that it doesn't right now), best successes, and a boost from best powerups (master artisan is important for this one as well). Interesting question.

Novice Marksman gives you access to more than just CDEFs. D18 pistol, DH17 carbine at least that I know off the top of my head.

You can get pretty decent stats on these two.

I've had 52-125/1.5 D-18s and can't exactly recall DH17 carbine stats but I know top damage 187 speed 2.7. Respectable weapons for certs out of the novice box. If you forgo the novice box then you'd better be a wookiee and be able to use no cert bowcasters or then you'll have to rely on CDEFs.

3.5 spd

28-58 dmg

4.5 % wound

but i just started so..

A D18 pistol would be significantly better.

unfortunately, I don't think EITHER a plain DH17 OR a plain DLT20 are player craftable.

plain dh17 carbines are craftable but you are right DLT20's are not, only the DLT20a

My bad on the DH17.

That would also be much better thana CDEF

I think my best CDEFs were 29-59 3.0 something. Don't make them any more.

If you want to use a pistol with just novice marksmen, get a D18 from a master. I made one for a riflemen buddy(He doesnt even want it, all that hard work ) Anyway, I think it was around 100 damage with 1.4 speed. 1.4 speed would be nice for the warning shot too.
