This is no doubt a side project from your mod's weapon balancing?

[Suicide Junkie]

Actually, it was spawned by IRC commments...
I'll be doing the reverse process for most of my mod's weapons.

However it will be useful when I get to the tweaking stage.

See what great things come as a result of the #se4 IRC channel? Now don't you all want to stop by?

Great work SJ!

Does the "power" include the kT used by the weapon, too?

PvK

[Suicide Junkie]

True Power = dmg/kt/reload
Pulse Power = dmg/kt
Punch = dmg

- True power is the most important for most situations.
- Pulse power comes into play for hit and run.
- Punch is very important against leaky shields and crystalline armor.

By "leaky shields" do you mean emissive armor ability effects?

PvK

[Suicide Junkie]

Leaky armor typically uses crystalline/shield combos, but yes, emissive is another excellent example.

Heh ya,

For the techno illiterate how do I view the file?

And for the quick answer what are the best one shot weapons?

Cheers.

PvK

it also refer's to taking the armor ability out of the armor and increasing the hitpoints. more hitpoints means an unporportionally higher chance of being hit.
