To summarize, that theory goes; hit ability*1000 = pro standing (average skill level for weapon type).
Meaning for example hit ability on Mk.II = 2,3 means your pro standing is Skilled, average skills affecting laser rifles = 2300 +/- 50(or 100?) - 2349 would still be 2,3 for sure, possibly even 2399 would be 2,3.

Well, even if hit ability and pro-standing weren't tied, can still work out the influence of weapon tech or primary weapon skill on pro-standing by comparing your primary pro-standing with secondary or tertiary.

Example -I'm "Great laser pistoleer" primary, which implies my average skills in laser pistols is 3000-3199.
My secondary is "Good BLP pistoleer", so my average skills in BLP pistols is 2800-2999.

The only difference is my BLPWT/LWT skill, which is 2000 different.
So, can work out from that, that 2000 levels in weapon technology has between 1-399 points influence on pro-standing (depending on if my primary is 3000 in Laser pistol and secondary is 2999 in BLP pistols, or 3199 in laser pistols and 2800 in BLP pistols, or somewhere in between).

This gives a range of values for how much influence WT has on pro-standing (1/2000 ->399/2000)
With data from a few more avatars, can narrow this down, and similarly for rifle/handgun skills

Just that from 8k to 10k the x weapoon tech skill with have a much lower effect than from 0 to 2k...

Hi dudes...plz let me enlighten

-Laser Sniper-

Skills that affect Prostanding

-General- Courage, Dexterity, Perception, Serendipity, Coolness

-Combat- Rifle, Weapon Handling, Aim, Combat Reflexes, Marksmanship, Combat Sence, Commando

-Construction- Laser Weapon Technology

Skills that affect Damage

-Combat- Inflict Ranged Damage, Range Damage Assessment, Wounding, Killstrike

-Medical- Anatomy

-Construction- Laser Weapon Technology (also affects Prostand)

Comment: Rifle is the most powerful booster for prostand, MMS does also minimum damage...LWT and MMS also great prostand boosters

Doesn't 600 lvl weapon tech skills always raise Hit Ability with 0,1 all the way up?
You can do a rough test for this, take a LWT-,BLP- and a Plasmarifle, look at
Hit ability, devide all your tech skills with 600, and see if the difference is about
0,1 for every 600lvl tech skill... well, as long none are above 10 in Hit Ablity ofcourse.

Ive just noticed that the added efficiency of weapons is much higher from 0-2000 than it is from 2000-4000 and even less above that, in addition to the slowdown..

I just noticed on your sig that you have some kickass skillgains btw :p

I sure would like to have this figured out because my tertiary professional standing keeps switching between Gaus sniper and Plasma sniper and I've never used either one

Not 100% correct. I have almost 4k in it, and absolutely nothing in any other WT skill. When I compare my stats on laser weapons, to other types of weapons, I notice a difference of 0.5 (not sure, maybe 0.6 or 0.7, gotta check) in the hit ability, and an even bigger difference in the crit ability. I`m not sure if it affects damage, but if it does, then the WT skills change everything, from hit/crit abilities, to damage and pro standing.

Stormer was right in that it affects damage, and you are right in it affects pro standing (Hit Ability). In fact aside from rifle it is the best skill for HA. Now why is it so cheap?

Ah yes, because we can gain 100 levels a day even when we have 12k+

that is exacly what im saying, LWT affects both damage AND prostanding...and im 100% sure of that

EDIT: roughly said: prostanding is "hit ability" and damage is "crit hit ability"
