With Nyms motors, which has 20 (or so) to max dam, the VK will also have 20 (or so) to max dam. I dont know if that is also the case with that motor.. If it is, that VK will be truely uber!

WS forums. They are the ones that make the weapons, they should know.

O, depending on sever reasources, this should make a VK that comes out to 200+ max, and 50 min (When you get a CSR to fix the min/max)

I've been bidding on this piece of gear in the trade section without really knowing if it will really make a Uber VK.

Can someone explain to me in simple terms what sort of damage this will do when converted into a VK.

I really needthose numbers explained to me, I can't see what's great about the numbers.

Or am I wasting my money.

Current bid is 15 million.

NS Vibro Blade unit

Stats:

Min: 92 damage

Max: 63 damage

With those stats a VK should come out around 2.1 106-173 if I did my math right. The good thing is the better margin from Min to Max Dam. Overall damage would be greater than say a Nym's Enhanced VK.

But for 15 mill? I can't see it. Especially when a Nym Enhanced VK would be around 2.2 39-167 and reasonable easy to get/loot the Nym unit enhancement.

I know HAM costs on my ABVU's are 8/8/8 and Range Mods are 12/11/12. Does the NS unit have those stats? If not,it won't be near as accurate asa VK crafted with Adv Blade Vibro Units. (Never used a NS unit so I'm clueless about the HAM/Range stats)

Even with the Min/Max stats reversed I can't see spending 15 mill on it.

Just my 2 cents.

The stats on the motor are definately well above the average... but 15 mil for ONE just to use in a VK? Seems a little outrageous to me. I'd say, better off finding some decent Nym motor enhancers and get a few VKs made and sliced. Even with the switched stats on that NS motor you're not looking at a significant increase in max damage on the VK, not enough to be worth 15 mil at least in my opinion.

I looted 3 +29 Nym motors a month ago, foolishly gave 2 of the vk's that I had made out of htem to guildies... Havent looted anything else yet. Anyways I haven't noticed a big difference in my damage output. If you're spamming UH3 like I usually do (gotta love brandy) for most things the difference between reg VK's and enhanced VK's either w/ a nym motor or a ns motor will be like 1 hit. I think in the 2.5 months since I masterd TKA there has been 1 situation where 1 less hit would've made a difference.

So is the NS motor worth it? I proablly wouldn't spend much more than a couple hundred k on it. But hey thats just me
