DUST Search - Possible bug with Active SP boosters

Banjo Hero wrote:

The booster doesn't really extend the SP cap. Well, it kinda does, but not really. If you hit the cap in x hours, you'll still hit the cap in x hours, not 3x/2

You know the circle thingies on the post-game screen. The SP one on the left has a section that represents the "Potential SP Bonus" or however it's worded. It's one-third of the circle. Your actual earned SP is the other two-thirds. That is what counts towards the cap. The smaller segment is what you get if you have the active booster on.

You'll get 150% of the earned SP, but only the _earned_ SP goes to the weekly cap.

If you turn the booster on between hitting cap and the reset, you'll get 150% of [SP=WP, limited at 1000] until the reset comes around. So, a game where you got 1000 WP or more, you would get 1500 SP.

The weekly cap is something like 190,000 SP. I'm afraid I don't know for sure, but a quick look around the forums should tell you, or maybe some nice person will verify this, or give the correct figure here.

I hope this helps.

So you're saying it's 190,000 SP weekly with and without the boosters. With boosters you just get to this cap faster. Yes?

Instead of 190,000 weekly, 280,000 with active booster. This means it's just a rumor? That's half of what I'm trying to figure out. I think I finally understand what's happening: active booster SP don't count towards the SP cap. So it doesn't make you reach the cap faster, it gets you cap-free SP until you reach the cap with the non-booster SP. So indeed you'll be earning 300,000 SP instead of 200,000 per week.
