I am currently working on a test of the theory that getting *inside* a mob's preferred range reduces it's hitting probability. (i.e. with a najab -- getting into the 1-2 m range by ducking to the side and running underneath it and staying there.)

The difficulty is in staying inside the 5-6m "preferred range" so that there is a valid comparison to what happens if you just lay into them without using movement.

((If you do melee, you can go on follow to the mob))

That won't give me the 1-2 meter range I want to maintain.

Hm and some mobs tend to keep distance, some just try to have you in reach, some are more aggressive...

You might try with someone using root on the najab, it could work this way

May I add a myth for busting? =D

Speed on bullets, some say they do not affect, but I never saw much of difference. Does anyone know better?

True that the speed attribute on range ammo has no impact in range fight, at least according to my experience and everything I heard.

To the best of my knowledge, the only stats on ammo that have any noticeable effect are Damage and Weight. I have yet to see Speed or Range affected by different ammo recipes, but using a decent Ammo Jacket can reduce your encumbrance considerably.

If ya look at the Crafting Ranges Module in Bunny Tools you can see what characteristics / numbers exist as a basis for all calculations related to ammo.

Durability: 0% Precraft = 100
Durability: 100% Precraft = 200

Lightness (Launcher): 0% Precraft = 20
Lightness (Launcher): 100% Precraft = 10

Damage (Launcher): 0% Precraft = 828
Damage (Launcher): 100% Precraft = 1,656

Speed (Launcher): 0% Precraft = 0
Speed (Launcher): 100% Precraft = 0

Range (Launcher): 0% Precraft = 0
Range (Launcher): 100% Precraft = 0

Game Data - These are the base numbers to which craft formulae are applied as well as my understanding as to how or if they apply.

Durability - I have pondered what possible effect might have but as yet nothing comes to mind. I mean it's not as if the bullet or shell might "wear out" traveling up to 60 meters. All ammo has a base Durability of 100.

Lightness - 100% precraft gives you minimum weight so these are inversely proportional. Autolauncher has min of 4.8 and a max of 9.6 . Launcher is 10.0 & 20.0. There's also data for Harpoons and Grenades which we haven't seen .... yet :)

Sap Load - Again, like Durability, not sure how this could possibly have any real effect in game but range is 0 - 2,500 for all ammo.

Speed - The Damage per Minute formula is based upon the Damage of the Ammo x the Speed of the Weapon.

Damage - Base Damage numbers for each weapon which serve as the variable in the formulae are

Pistol / Bowpistol = 0.625 / 1.250
Rifle / Bowrifle = 0.833 / 1.667
Autolauncher = 2.000 / 4.000
Launcher = 3.000 6.000
Harpoon = 1.000 / 2.000
Grenade = 1.000 / 2.000
