Also explains why A101s are TT+37 now. Come on Mindark let us have them back in loot!!!
Thanks Mega

Glad I got my A101 a while ago

And thanks Alice for adding to what I said.

Makes it very clear that there is a difference between weapon economy and hunting economy. A weapon may be very eco, say (I wish) 7 HP/pec, but if this hypothetical weapon does dmg in the range 20-40, then it's not eco when hunting snable male youngs with only 20 HP.

I'll add a section to my OP about HA...forgot that one and it's vitally important too.

And I like the flower example...makes it all very clear, and is corrrect imo.

plandon I know you said different...please can you explain the error you can see for my benefit - thx

I can understand maybe criticism could stem from the fact that the damage return (4-8 for opalo / person A) is not peds in a real hunt but HP. So we don't get 1 ped loot per HP of dmg (wish we did ). And the 2.02 cost is technically pecs for an opalo.

But I think it was fairly clear this was a simplified example to explain eco and not a mathematical model for hunting. So unless I've missed something obvious, I think it's fine.
