First of all, my grind is done (yay!). I slapped together a few guns and compared them to weapons I've seen around. Flamers are spot-on. Proton grenades, C12/C22 ditto. Laser Riflesget to four points and .1 speed from the best on the server even with three "moderate" successes...

But my republic blaster is .4 slower than another master's blaster at identical damage?

I built two, compared them two a number of other weapons, and instead of 2.5 I got 2.9.... Great successes, here....

Anyhoo, yeah. I also have a few questions on resource spawn rates, but undoubtedly that's server specific. I just wanted to get that blaster issue looked at...

Also, I haven't been a master Artisan... do the stats on the Artisan parts effect guns? And how do the optional MA parts affect the Spraystick?

.4 slower? hmm... unless your experimentation went wacky both times you shouldn't be getting that much of a difference.

Unless you are using craptastic resources coupled with advanced power handlers and barrels while he has amazing resources (to make up the damage difference) and regular parts... but that makes no sense.

Congrats. I am a fairly newly minted WS on Lowca. I think some of the differences you note could be advanced vs. non-advnaced components. Experiment with them some. I dont recall the numbers but some of the the non advanced comps are faster than the advanced. Its definately true of vibro motors. I havent done to much ranged stuff yet so I cant offer anything exact about the republic blaster.

It's your plumbum and ferrous. I don't remember what the stats on the good plumbum are (and swgcraft is down again), but it was much higher OQ than that. I don't remember the stats on tritetra steel either, but ipos duralloy was better.

All your other parts are probably very close to everyone else's since you have that phrik aluminum. Ostrine doesn't make much difference in the power handlers, best possible is 19-39 .39, and no one uses advanced barrels because the rhodium's always crap.

Finally got back to my house and found the stats on materials

Rikob plumbum 2 con 873 oq (Endor,2-3 weeks ago)

Omni plumbum 76 con 832 oq (Naboo, 4 months ago during bugged shifts, only available for 12 hours)

Ipos duralloy 575 con 953 oq

I used 85 CD/296 OQ Plumbum (must have shift), Tritetracobaiam and that leet Phrik Aluminum from a few shifts ago, plus advanced power handlers (need better Ostrine) and blaster pistol barrels (need better Rhodium). But since all components had one gimped spot, I'd say it was experiment wackiness.

I have 2 republic blaster models.One with APH, one with regular PH. The speeds are 2.6 and 2.4 respectively.

So perhaps it's a combination of the resources you are using and the power handler?
