Record individual damage numbers scored with what ever weapons. Include raw resist numbers for defender and attackers subskill attributes.
Raw data is better than trying to create your own templates which may or may not work well. Thats what i would do.
Nice to see someone applying some lean principles to the project :DQuote:

If you want to test rapid fire weapons then ANSWER your PHONE!!! I am available next week during the day if we still gonna do that.
In terms of recording results I have literally put together 2 lists of stats.
One for the attacker (PC/RC WPL TC) one for the defender (RESISTS).
Then I have put down the weapon and total damage done (RED NUMBERS coming off the target)
I cant be arsed with working out graphs and all of that. I am not that way inclined. It makes face 'urt. I would rather provide the raw data and butt loads of it and let someone else (more qualified) work out what it means.
One question? Does TC affect damage any more? I hope not!
Second question? Do you have a log of who has tested what? I mean I can already see a lot of reports coming in from different people testing but do you have a roster or something and are you short of anything specifically? Like if lots of people are testing pistols perhaps I should do cannons etc?
Cheers.
P.s all the talk in DEV #1 is guns - are we testing melee and those thin-looking gangly kids yet? The ginger step children that you guys probably call APU Monks?
I can join you daytime next week. Send me a text message or something mate; still on the same number.Quote:

Any chance of getting the reverse LOM vendors stocked up?
I want to switch back to pistol on my main to test that extensively, but the LOMs have crippled my DEX.
hop into the ceres-temple, take the mission from the tank in the camo-pa, and you're good...
Loki, click the altar in neoconstruct for a free warp to the ceres temple and talk to "SUPER HARD MISSION GUY".
Kill the rat (6/6) he spawns --> BING ;)
All non-DoT direct damage weapons except drones.Quote:

But especially the damage you do makes you feel like you have quite an impact, and also you really TAKE damage. Not enough to be very dangerous, but enough to get used to it and not ignore it.
Got a question too:
At the moment there are Ammo Mods (High Frequency Raygun, High Voltage Laser, ...?) that get useless if the current system is used, since they added energy damage in the old system, and so are now no different than standard ammunition. I guess they would be changed if you decide to stay with your current plan for Ammo Mods? (Falling in the category of completly different Ammo Mods you need to complete this change like you stated?)
OMG It's DIVIDE!!!1111Quote:

To give the different energy weapons some distinction other than looking different, the base damage was altered slightly.Quote:

Fusion weapons do energy (60%) and force (40%) damage as standard, as they explode on impact, alpha does energy (80%) and force (20%).
Plasma weapons do pure energy as standard.
Check the ammo pack info to see what damage they do and the proportions.
Huh, I saw it with the fusion weapons (nad liked it), but not with Laser and Raygun... Must have overseen it.Quote:
