Hi there


I have jusy recently mastered weaponsmith, and im a bit stuck with a few things, i was wondering if some of you would be able to impart some of your knowledge.


First, yesterday I tried making an advanced laser rifle and was experimentnig to increase the damage, when I was down to 2 points left I had the max damage over a thousand, and i put my last 2 points into damage too, i got a message telling me that I had reached the wound stat cap and that it had been reset down, however this also decreased my max damage to below 1000 again. Is there anyway to avoid this happening?


Also are scopes much use? It seems to me that they sacrifice speed for accuracy, but surely speed would be the more important stat.

As for your first question, I haven't had anything like that happen to me yet. Of course, I think the best I have been able to do unenhanced is 996 damage on ALRs, so that might be why.


As for the second question, the scopes don't really take that much speed away. You have to remember that right now the speed modifiers on components are off by a decimal place, so a scope fully experimented for accuracy with a 1.000 speed modifier is really only a .1000 speed modifier. That isn't really enough to matter to someone who is a double combat profession master, as their speed mods will be high enough to offset it. Plus, I read somewhere that if your accuracy was higher than the defense of whatever you were fighting, then the extra accuracy added to the damage you did against it.


Hope this helps a little

Thanks for the info, so am i right in thinking that its not worth wasting experimentation points in speed on components as the overall effedt is close to nothing?

While the effect it low - you will get more benifit from using your remaining points (after capping efficiency) on speed than you will on damage.
