Guide to "Skill Increase Bonus" on weapons

[Doer]

Beautifully designed Solaris, good job!

Please mention that the professional standing can be clearly seen in-game, though. There are still a lot of people looking at skills and guessing the pro standing level when there's no reason to -- especially the players who were around when the new window with pro standings was added because it wasn't automatically mapped to a key and is only found in the actions book.

For those who don't know yet, it is on the System page of the actions book ('x') and looks like this:


And for detail about which skills contribute to those four (Hit) professions and how much here are links to the wiki:
Laser sniper
BLP Sniper
Laser Pistoleer
BLP Pistoleer

The (Dmg) professions are here:
Ranged Laser (Dmg)
Ranged BLP (Dmg)

The "Skill effect" column in the table at the bottom is the percentage contribution each skill makes to the professional standing.

Really nice It's a Svempa T15 though not an Emik T15 in the pistol chart i think... Had me rushing to the wiki to check what loots it at first

[Burgerman]

Fantastic charts, well done and +rep.

Fantastic, Great info

[Witte]

Nice guide, well done.

BTW doer, I was just reading what you wrote in the damage profession. You say the damage on SIB weapons go from 25%-50% to 50%-100%.

Is 25-50% also before the SIB period? And does the damage increase linear as your profession goes up? (so at 90% of the sib, the damage you do would be 47.5%-95%).

It seems I did not implement this correctly in the "personalized weaponchart" on wiki

Oops. I think that part is actually wrong. It has been a long, long time since i had a SIB that i could check, but now that you mention it i think the damage on them is actually a change in min and max damage such that the average does increase somewhat but not the same way that the conventional weapons work. I will change the way it is worded until someone can check more carefully.

That's a nice chart, +rep!

Sorry - my mistake. Too many little lookalikes in this game
Error corrected now.

[Solaris]

Updated on a few things, adding a few images, correcting a few errors.

New section with info about weaponscreen and professional standings.

Guide complete now I think...
..at least untill MA changes something again.
