I've asked a few WS's but seem to get different answers about vibromotors in vibroknucklers.

so far i think what ive gatherd:

#1 vibromotors are enhansments, not components?-meaning that you dont need extra motors for the experimentation part of making a VK?

#2 WS's can craft motors that have almost +40 max damage? meaning that if i loot a vibromotor with under that number it's pretty much a waste.

I have to ask because im thinking about buying some NS vibromotors- and ive been trying to loot nym vibromotors

please let me know where i'm wrong or right, thank you

Vibro motors are enhancements used in vibro units

Vibro units are finished VK components

High powered vibro motor +20 or more to max

Finely tuned vibro motor -.2 to speed

High frequency vibro motor +5 to wounding %

There are also NS motors which add much greatermin/max and speed all together

The technical term for this is "systems balancing", prior to release. After release, it's still balancing, but changes can be considered nerfs or enhancements.
Since you don't have it yet, if you cry nerf, I'll make sure your name is on the list to spew chicken feathers as your characters talk.

High Powered, High Frequency, and Finely Tuned vibromotors are all enhancements, meaning they go into the vibromotor when a WS crafts them, and then that crafted vibromotor goes into the weapon. Anything else you find is designed as a component meaning it replaces the WS-crafted vibromotor.

#2 WS's can craft motors that have almost +40 max damage? meaning that if i loot a vibromotor with under that number it's pretty much a waste.

Yup, pretty much. Most of the looted vibromotors are garbage. If you happen to loot one that's yellow, you may want to get a second opinion from a WS, it may have some odd range mod or crazy speed or something that the WS may be interested to play with.

I have to ask because im thinking about buying some NS vibromotors- and ive been trying to loot nym vibromotors

NS VM's will act as components in a VK, Nym Motors act as enhancements in VK's. For the Nym ones, you'll want to look for High Powered vibromotors, they add to the max damage. The Finely Tuned ones lower speed and the High Frequency ones increase wound chance (both stats a master TK couldn't care less about).

please let me know where i'm wrong or right, thank you

Dawin, sorry but you are confused about motors and units too. Using the wrong terms I think.

ImaTwilek was correct on the terminology.

Vibro "Motors" are NOT crafted by WS, they are all optional loot drops and go into enhancing a Vibro "Unit"

Vibro Unit is then required to make a VK .

Additionally there are also Vibro Units that can be loot dropped like the NS Vibro "Unit" which is a replacement for the crafted Vibro Unit of a WS. From what I have seen, there are no NS Motors, but there are some beefy NS Units out there.

This is info nicely compiled by another WSearlier and used in the TKA forum FAQ sticky:

We CAN'T make motors. We CAN make units we can.

Motors are looted, and put into units.

Vks take 1 vibro unit per weapon, you you would get 2

Please drop any auction winnings at my vendor on Corellia. It is Abilof Weapons at -1803 2347 just east of the Kor Vella starport or the Fort Qui shuttleport.

You can use the NS units in VK's. One unit per vk. I would only use the NS unit in a vk if it had great stats... over 37 max damage... if it has damage lower or close to this then it would be a waste to use NS units.

You can use NS units in NSEL's(Nightsister Energy Lances)
