Edited by: KhaelaMensha Khaine on 06/01/2009 07:23:27 This has probably been asked before so I apologise for asking it again but it's important!
Does anyone know how many times a T2 laser crystal can be fired before it 'breaks' and also how this is calculated?
Also, Faction crystals, despite being T1, become 'used' once they are loaded into a gun the same way as T2 crystals. This suggestd that they also 'break' after a certain number of 'uses'.
The crystals have VOLATILITY and VOLATILITY DAMAGE attributes which I assume are used in calculating how likely/soon they will break but I don't know how to use them to calculate this.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

The average seems to be 1000 shots for T2, 4000 shots for faction. Don't trust these numbers, they are nothing but a rough estimate.

I believe the 4000 shots for faction is exact. Every shot does 0.00025 damage, and the crystal has 1 hp. 1/0.00025 = 4000.
The T2 value (1000) is indeed an "expected" value. It could last more than 1000 shots, it could last less. But on average, a T2 crystal will last for 1000 shots.

Scorch has VOLATILITY (V) = 0.1% and VOLATILITY DAMAGE (VD) = 0.01 HP
AN MF has VOLATILITY (V) = 1% and VOLATILITY DAMAGE (VD) = 0.00025 HP
Reverse-engineering using the above and your numbers, the formula might look something like:
Number of uses = 1/(V*VD)

BUT, firing a faction crystal has a 100% chance to apply that damage. T2 crystal only has 10% chance to apply the damage. Thus you can only say that you get an expected value of 1000 shots from the T2 crystal.
(It's well known that percepts are ****ed up on the stat sheets. AFAIK, 0.1% volatility is really 10%; and 1% volatility is really 100%.)

Hmm, (random thought) will nano paste fix those damaged some I wonder?

I wish there was a way to repair/sell/do anything with used t2 crystals so I could stack them, iso having cans full of used crystals :/

A corpmate of mine reprocesses his used mining crystals and uses the proceeds from selling the minerals to buy new crystals.
Maybe give that a go...

Like above:
T2: 100-infitnity (1000 average) faction: 4000
As for repro damaged crystal - you cant repro em. Need to be repackaged = not used. Unless there is a bug :)

I don't know about frequency crystals, but mining crystals can be reprocessed without problems at any time. I routinely use mine up to .98 damage and then reprocess them. If I were using T1 crystals I'd just roll the nocx back into manufacturing new ones. As it is, I used to just sell the nocx and buy new T2 crystals. I've pretty much quit mining now though. ______________________________________________________ Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? |
