Jurryriggers, Two heads better than one?

ZomBPir8Ninja Zombified Piratey Ninjas Racer Badlands Truckstop Faction Group: Members Posts: 151 Joined: Oct 1, 2009 Jurryrigging... If my mech has Jurryrigging x2, is that two possible cars, or a better chance at getting one? Similarly, if I have two mechs with Jurryrigging x1, is that two possible cars, or a better chance at getting one? Or the second only gets a minor skill boost but doesn't count for jurryrigging? ......................... vet wv pvp5 pvp4 ped2 gwped paintladder Posted Nov 18, 2009, 4:07 pm

*Grograt* Grograts Gonads Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 8,377 Joined: Oct 5, 2008 from wiki Mechanics in the Wilderness At the end of a successful wilderness event the skill of the best mechanic is the main factor in determining salvage. However, if he/she has less than 3 helpers (who don't need any mech skill) then their ability to work effectively is reduced. In terms of training, the best mechanic gets most, but the best mechanic from each other gang also gets training. also jury rigger thread questions about mechs on scouts ......................... vet marshal wv community Posted Nov 18, 2009, 4:17 pm

Marrkos 88 MPH Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 3,711 Joined: Mar 28, 2006 My understanding: Your top mech (JRx2) will get a chance to repair/salvage each damaged vehicle. The level of Jury Rigging will increase the probability of success, and increase the health of the recovered engine. A mech with up to 3 other mech helpers will perform better (greater probability of success) than one without those helpers. In your example, the Jury Rigger x1 mech is helping the senior mech, but he won't get his own shot at repairing loot that the senior mech was unsuccessful on. There has been discussion in the past about allowing the second and third mechs to receive training. Not sure if it was ever implemented, but if so then each mech would have a chance to repair/salvage (and get skill points) the loot. ......................... vet wv community Posted Nov 18, 2009, 4:23 pm

BigStick BOB-BagOfBones Sunday Driver Renegade Group: Members Posts: 85 Joined: Feb 16, 2008 I haven't fully confirmed this myself (or confirmed by others .. but maybe somewhere in wiki), because I only just got a mech to Lv2 jury. My Lv1 jury guy seemed to repair dead engines to 4 - 5%. My Lv2 jury repairs up to 10% I don't know the benefit of multiple mechs because I specialise my mechs. Ie. just jury, or just salv. ......................... vet wv zom Posted Nov 20, 2009, 12:45 pm

Not sure if it was ever implemented, but if so then each mech would have a chance to repair/salvage (and get skill points) the loot. Only the top mech from each gang gets training, currently. This is set up to encourage multiplayer scouts, of course, since a multiplayer squad will overall receive more training than a singleplayer one. There is only one repair/salvage test made on each looted vehicle and on each component that's being removed from an un-jury-riggable vehicle. I'm not sure if giving multiple chances would be a good idea since this would have a major effect on the overall game balance in the looting process. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Nov 20, 2009, 12:52 pm

My interpretation would be 'no'.  Given that there's only a single repair/salvage roll on each vehicle/component, I would think the highest skilled mech would be using whatever specs he has, and any specs held by less mechs would go unused. ......................... vet wv community Posted Nov 20, 2009, 8:13 pm

*Ninesticks* The Wombles Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals + Rule Council Posts: 3,371 Joined: Apr 11, 2008 Hmmm would want a confirmation from Sam on this, but I had the impression from what has been said before by Sam that having a salvager along does help with salvage even if they are not the top mech. ......................... vet wv marshal pvp4 community pvp20,1,0 Posted Nov 20, 2009, 8:19 pm

Karz Master Alpha Junkers Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Storytellers + IP Posts: 2,375 Joined: Nov 13, 2006 As a former army tank-technician, I'd say it makes perfect sense that jury riggers should get both the training and use the skill. I mean, I don't even need to share my experiences to emphasize this is common sense, in terms of RP. (but I like telling stories, so if anyone wants me to go share my stories, I promise I won't put any of you to sleep ) Of course, in terms of game balancing, I haven't thought that far about it... ......................... vet wv zom Posted Nov 24, 2009, 9:32 am
