Groove Champion Posted Nov 26, 2012, 4:31 am	Can you break down weapons and engines for scrap/car parts? Or can you only do this for vehicles?
Juris Posted Nov 26, 2012, 5:23 am	Only for vehicles and all you get for vehicles is scrap. You don't get cps till you have a good mech
Groove Champion Posted Nov 26, 2012, 5:24 am	Would it make sense to be able to break down weapons and engine? It feels like such a waste to keep throw them away, or stockpile them when they have no use...
Juris Posted Nov 26, 2012, 5:39 am	The only thing you get for weapons is one clip of ammo if the weapon is more than half full
Groove Champion Posted Nov 26, 2012, 6:40 am	Well... in Scav, that's something
*goat starer* Posted Nov 26, 2012, 3:52 pm	what i would like to be able to do (with an adequate mech) is combine components.... make it impossible to repair something unless you have spares one possible way would be a simple sum I have a 70% HMG and a 45% HMG I can combine them into a 100% HMG I have a 70% HMG and a 10% HMG I can combine them into an 80% HMG different skills of mech would be able to do this with more complicated weapons... say 0 - 50 mgs, mmgs 50 - 100 hmgs, mmls,mmls rls 100 - 150 gatlngs 150 - 200 atgs, ccs 200+ imaginary lasers

MG 40% fixed with breaking MG 30% to parts and using what might be useable. Giving MG 50% and we can have actual mechanics skill involved to that efficiency ratio also, preferably using some kind of formula (perhaps even involving square-root in somewhere).
*Snipe* Posted Nov 27, 2012, 10:00 am	I agree - the same with anything else. You have 2 broken whatevers and you always end up having part that you dont need. I think a basic 30% total decrease is fair. so - a 50% 4L combined with another 50% 4L would give you a 70% and maybe cost a few units of car parts. Would make engines less than 50% almost not worth keeping....but kinda the way it should be.
Doc Death Posted Nov 27, 2012, 6:23 pm	So to break a weapon down you need? Cos all I see is a trash option.
*goat starer* Posted Nov 27, 2012, 8:01 pm	you just trash it if it has more than 50% ammo you will recover a clip
Blaer Posted Nov 27, 2012, 10:40 pm	this "merging" of parts seems overly complex... would it not make more sense (and be much simpler) if you simply were given a chance to get CPs when breaking down equipment and weapons?
