Weapon stats

[wildblue1010]

Hey everyone, I can't find any info on what accuracy, penetration, power, and speed affects for the weapons.

Can anyone enlighten me, please? =)

And if possible, can the help file be modified to include the info, please? Thanks!

wildblue1010 - you can read about them in the game manual!

I think the page moved to www.tresebrothers.com/cyber-knights/game-manual/

But I also don't see anything on this new page that addresses the question of what the weapon stats represent?

robertmarkbram - go to the section called "Combat Statistics"

www.tresebrothers.com/cyber-knights/game-manual/#Combat_Statistics

You can read stuff like:
"Your Target’s Melee Soak Score is calculated by adding Armor Deflection + Defense.

The Soak Score is automatically reduced by your Weapon Penetration."

I see, thanks for the hint, but the page doesn't clearly explain what each weapon stat means. For example, I don't see where it says that weapon speed is the number of times you can shoot, or where weapon AP is the number of action points it costs to actually use that weapon.

I was hoping to see a clear description of the statistics I see on a weapon screen. For example:

Lightfire
Mars Corp
Power: 3
Penetration: 4
Accuracy: 6
Ammo: 8 Pistol
Range: 3
AP: 3
SPeed: 2
Y552.

I guess what most of these are, but I am still shaky on penetration v power.

I only found what weapon speed was by searching this forum - that page doesn't say.

I see on that page it describes how to calculate Soak Score, but doesn't seem to describe what Soak Score actually is.

FaIIen you faiIed to answer a question correctIy..hoIy bIeep anyway robert it power,penetration basicaIIy teII how effective the weapon is against enemys armr/bodies/expIoded brain matter Jacob if ur reading this. Punkked son anyone's gots a fans?

Holy crap, Xmadblood got it right

robertmarkbram - Power is the damage rolled. Depending on the weapon type, the resulting damage may be allocated fully to HP or MP, or split in lots of different ways between the two pools (it's more complex with melee weapons). Penetration reduces the target's armor score which means they get a smaller dice to roll to soak your damage.

Thanks for this fallen - any chance this could be addressed in the manual? (Especially clearer description of each weapon stat, maybe in its own sub-section.)

Another question related to weapon stats:
As mentioned in this thread, weapon speed is somehow related to how many shots it can do during one attack. However, the number of shots varies, it may be equal to speed or speed+1. Some clarification on what determines the actual number of shots would be much appreciated.

Are you Aiming first? Aim gives you a chance to add +1 Speed to your weapon with guns. Position does the same for melee. Otherwise Speed should always = number of attacks. You may have also been short on ammo. If only one round is left in your gun you will only fire once.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
