Weaponsmith Archive

A guy comes to me with a pretty badly damaged bunch of FWG5's... Most were below 100 condition.

I whip up some of my 99.404% repair kits and get to work. After handing the guns to him he says, "ummm some of these are weird." So I ask him to show me what he's talking about. I then had him hand over one of the weird ones to me so I could screenshot it for my fellow weaponsmiths. Lemme know what you make of this screenshot.

Has this happened to any of you before? This is a first for me.

A few months ago I made some random guns and had stats like100 min, 95 max on the same gun. Probably just a fluke since I haven't had it since, but I've never seen a successful repair do that to a gun.

Weapons with condition below a certain point (around 25%) will have their stats degrade rapidly.

Sometimes, upon successful repair, the weapon will be restored to its old stats. Other times, even after a successful repair, it's stuck forever.

Moral of the story: Tell your customers not to let their weapon's condition drop that low.

Also, sometimes damage goes up a bit but not back to its original stats. I fixed a krayt scatter that was down to like 60 max, and it went up to 75ish.

If it's sliced,could the slice could be what is messing up the min/max stats?

i would have to say the logical thing would be for it to do the minimum damage listed every time... that is unless the maximum damage listed is not actually 95 but to high to be listed due to database constraints... in that case one of two things would happen when that gun is fired... either you will kill someone/something in 1 shot (100-10095 damage) or i could see a critical error happening... worse case scenario... it crashes... the clien, the cluster... maybe even the whole galaxy... but that is an extreme case... more than likely you will do the 100 min damage on a consistant basis

And sometimes, once in a great while, the weapon's stats not only go back to their original maximum, but the damage can actually permanently increase by a couple points. Haven't figured out how or why yet, but it's happened to me three times so far.

I have also seen a weapon with a lower max. damage than it's min. damage. Truly bizarre.

'Foolish boy. Don't you know anything about Fantasia? It's the world of human fantasy. Every part, every creature of it, is a piece of the dreams and hopes of mankind. Therefor, it has no boundaries.'
'But why is Fantasia dying then?'
'Because people have begun to loose their hopes and forget their dreams. So the nothing grows stronger. It's the emptiness that's left. It's like a despair, destroying this world. And I have been trying to help it.'
'But why?'
'Because people who have no hopes are easy to control. And whoever has control has the power'
