IrishWebster Molon Labe. RISE of LEGION 90	Posted - 2013.10.25 04:02:00 - [1] - Quote The title says it all. My packed AV bases cost me 15 CPU, and being 1 point over my limit of 252 for my AV fit I spent a few SP on a level of the explosives skill to give me that 1 point I need to make up. I go back to fitting, and lo and behold, I'm still 1 point over my CPU limit. The skill does not affect AV grenades. Is this operating as intended or is it a bug, and if so is it known and I'm just late to the party? Thanks for any information you can give. -Irish

Go buy a Lai Dai packed AVG which has higher CPU and equip it to an empty frame and compare the numbers from fitting cost to actual cost on suit. The skill is pretty useless on low CPU items like standard gear unless you get like lvl 4-5 then you might get that 1 point off. Just did the math and apparently you need lvl 3 explosives prof to get 1.35 cpu off a 15 cpu item. Lvl 2 explosives gets you -0.9 cpu Edit: My EX packed AV costs 25 cpu I have lvl 1 explosives which means -3% cpu On my suit fitting, it costs me 24 cpu despite the total CPU reduction is only 0.75 cpu Guess it rounds up My Lai Dai AV costs 54 cpu Reduced to 52 cpu in fitting Math shows -3% is 1.62 cpu, looks like it rounds up again. If you didnt get cpu off even at lvl 3, I would imagine its either a display bug or a skill bug or could be something to do with the hidden decimal values you cant see on your fit. As I suggested, try using an empty dropsuit fitting to test. Since all the other figures apparently round up with admittedly smaller decimals than my situation, with a -.9 influence because of skills, shouldn't my .9 difference round up to that one whole point that I need? The thing is, it doesn't. Thus the bug. I tried it on my suit that I wanted the packed av nades on, and I tried it on the same dropsuit with only the packed nades. It does not get a discount from the skill.

I'm headed to bed, but I'll test this tomorrow. In the mean time, if anyone feels like testing it, feel free. I'll bounce my tests off of yours tomorrow and we can compare notes.
