Something seems fishy here. Obviously the source code don't lie, but there seems to be something else afoot. Maybe something to do with the range is calculated and how targeting gets wonky, like was said. But I'm probably gonna do some more tests like Sylph did, anyways.

That would be quite a bit harder to set up, but it also serves to point out how much of a difference it would make if it does drop off.

Very interesting. I'll try it out, too.

If SoB is calculated after the percentage reduction, the damage is improved by a few points, depending on SoB level and distance, but not a ton. It would be a much bigger impact on the knockback, though, since it would make hitting 14 damage much more common.

I like the flashlight. Make it moddable (PT) into a laser knife, or PTN for a lightsaber. Both do plasma damage, have .8 sec attack, knife does 2d6 damage, saber does much more, and grants plasma resistance if you have Malicious Blades.

Seems good. Leaves me to wonder whether getting a few ranks in SoB on a shotty build is really worth it, though, since a shambler would be taking 4 average damage per shot at max range with SoB 2, vs. 3 without SoB at all. That means you'd still need to get close to overcome armor, and then the damage adding isn't really so important. Hmm...
The wiki says shotguns need 7 damage to cause knockback. Do you know if that's before or after armor?

So I was building toward a rapid fire setup, took a few levels of SoB, but was still using a shotgun for a while for it's versatility. I noticed that my shotty seemed to be one-shotting formers at the edge of my view range pretty consistently, and getting more knockback at long range, too (more than expected). Anybody know how SoB effects a shotgun's damage reduction over distance? I'm not sure how the numbers work out, but it felt like it had a much longer effective range.

Seems like marines get the best master traits (generally speaking), but yeah, the base abilities are pretty weak, and not just on N!

Really it was because I knew that on an easier difficulty like this I'd really likely only die to RNG shenanigans or my own stupidity, so I figured the near-instance item use would bail me out if I screwed up. The map usage is also pretty handy when almost every level spawns 1-2 maps. Sometimes it felt like I was playing a Cateye build, though I know that's just easy difficulty+Ao100 messing with there spawn rate.

I started this challenge to try for the Ao100 silver badge, but was doing quite well, and decided to try pushing through to the end. Somewhere around level 40 I figured I may as well push for YAAM, too, but as you can see...

This should have been worded a bit differently. What I was saying, is that the half of the current ammo boxes that is for disposable quck-reloading should be a separate item from the one that is for extra storage. Which you probably already gathered. But to clarify, that wasn't a typo, so much as just poorly worded. To summarize: My proposal= 2 new items replacing old ammo box. 1st item is for quick reloads, it's disposable, and it's non-refillable. 2nd item is used strictly for storage, holds more ammo, and is refillable, but takes time to load and unload.
I know I'm repeating myself, I just didn't want any confusion. :)

Actually, the renaming is the key there. That's where all the argument started: the current item is the ammo box, which doesn't make sense for what it does (quick reloads). The extra ammo storage is a big help, especially for the build-challenges that have a hard time getting the backpack, though obviously that'll be the bigger deal if you can get it. Anyway, the better ammo storage is what a lot of people use ammo boxes for, which is great, but the inability to reload them is counter-intuitive, since it's pretty easy for a lay-man to stick shells in a box. And so splitting the ammo box in two seems the logical course: an item (say, an 'auto-loader magazine' or some such futuristic gibberish) that is disposable, non-refillable, and increases decreases reload time (possibly also stores slightly more ammo, too, though not for sure), and another item (ammo box, ammo case, etc.) that's sole purpose is storage of ammo, which it does well, but requires loading and unloading manually to be used. Make the two less likely to spawn individually, so you aren't flooded with stupid ammo-thingies all the time, but slightly more likely to find in total than the current, so as to off-set the disadvantage of breaking a good item in two. You could even limit carrying to only one ammo box or only one of each type, if it's needed, though the 'auto-loader' one would be better off unhindered, since it's disposable. Sorry if I rant...
