Well, don't forget to add in your increased fap and armor decay costs in the final calculation..
You will more or less have to kill each mob twice compared to what you are used too...

Will be very interesting to see the results

i notice a difference in armour/fap cost just moving between Apis and CB26. i really wouldnt try this, but each to their own.

Which is why I included both armor and fap decay in the total cost for each run

I don't think 1x105 will be a long enough run to obtain any decent results. With P5a that's like maybe 40-50 Aurli Weaks? May be an exaggeration, but it's certainly not enough for anything quantifiable, it takes me about an hour and a half to burn 2x105, so i'd think that's gonna take less than an hour, which is going to give you massive variance.

Also, Eco is one thing, but P5a is a bit of a small gun to be hunting on CP, I don't see anything eco about it at all. If you want to do a real eco test you should be using something more powerful than P5a, but still relatively eco, like an HL8. Using P5a on CP as an eco test makes about as much sense as killing Trox with Opalo as an eco test.

ANyway, just my thoughts, gl with your insanity

It may be a good idea to track the number of mobs killed, so we can derive a loot/mob, as well.

Would be interesting to see a rough average of cost per mob kill on the P5A and the Apis, just an idea if u really want to go insane

The point isn't that p5a is an eco gun, the point is that its a slow gun.
He wants to test the impact of dps/killspeed for your economy, on high regen mobs, and p5a in dome 1 is probably the most extreme you could try within reason

I don't think anyone thinks this will be eco, the question is just, how bad is it?

and how much will he be compensated for, on the extreme armor and fap decay he will suffer, will it help his loot?

Yes, please count number of kills too!

Ah thanks for that, I misread and thought that it was to test an eco weapon (p5a) vs a dps weapon. I'm hungover.

Definately don't think this requires a test, p5a will be a LOT less eco than a high DPS weapon, since you'll get about 50PED armour decay on these runs.

Great test dude
