Might seem like an odd question but do the stats of Adv. BPH over the normal model really matter on things like RL's, HPBC's, or acid stream launchers?

I have a lot of materials lying around that I used to used for decentBPHs until we finally got Diatium copper and Ostrine ore on my server.

So I suppose what I'm asking is should I make factory runs of normal BPH's strictly for use in the mentioned weapons, and keep the adv. BPH's for pistols rifles and carbines?

Stats from BPHs are added directly onto the weapon's final stats. The extra +20ish damage from ABPH is totally insignificant on weapons that do thousands of damage, and the slight speed bonus on normal BPH would be better for commandos since they don't hit the speed cap on those things.

Yep. Because the speed is better and given the damage range on the heavy weapons, the extra 20 damage is pretty much irrelevant.

I think that at given the cpu you need to be able sell disposable heavy weapons at, I wouldn't use top of the line resources in APBH's.

Not with Heavy Weapons though. Most I talked to didn't worry about stats as much as speed and charges. Of course charges aren't going to change whether you use regular/advanced power handlers, but regular power handlers can get at least a .1 diff. in speed.

Now with flamers, I would still suggest using the Advanced ones. I'm talking using regular handlers for HPBC's, Lightning Beam Cannons, Acid Stream Launchers and Rocket Launchers. Also, use regular projectile feed mechanisms for Rocket Launchers too...
