Soldier's speed value

[sigget]

The only thing thats missing in my skilltool, apart from a few bug fixes, is the speed calculation. Ive been trying to find out what effects it and how. Here's my latest guess.

 

The skills speed and capacity govern the soldiers final speed.

 

The value of capacity determines how much the soldier can carry, that is how much a load of 100% is. This is a fixed table i think, with a value for each skill level.

 

If a solider has a load of 100% or less the speed he gets it the same as his speed skill. If he has more then it starts declining. At 200% he's speed is at awful.

 

Example, speed skill is good(lvl 4), he has 150% load, since its over 100% he has less than good, 3, the range from 100% to 200% is divided into sections, one for each lvl, so its in 3 sections, each 33%, since 50% will fall into the middle section, the final speed will be poor.

 

|           100%           |   33%   |   33%  |   33%   |
|           good           | average |  poor  |  awful  |

 

Does this match your experiences?

 

About that table, if i could have a list of soldier states then i should be able to calculate it. What i need is, capacity skill, load in kg, and load percentage.

It seems after 100% load the soldiers speed decreases by one skill value. Each 25% after that, it decreases by another skill value. Here are my results:

 

Soldier name: Boks of Chocs

Capacity: Good

(Load kg / % / Speed skill)

0kg / 0% / Very good

29kg / 105% / Good

52kg / 125% / Good

52kg / 126% / Average (not a typo)

62kg / 150% / Average

62kg / 151% / Poor

72kg / 175% / Poor

72kg / 176% / Awful

 

So I think your table should look more like:

 

|   101% = Skill - 1   |   126% = Skill - 2   |   151% = Skill - 3   |   176% = Skill - 4   |   201% = Skill - 5 ?(didn't test this, but I can only presume)   |

Does that make sense to you?

Hope that helps

My table was only an example, with good speed skill, i got 3 sections from 100-200% you had very good and got 4 sections, so my theory still seems to work =)

Don't know nuthin' 'bout calculashuns but FYI I have one soldier with heroic speed.

Lvl 16

Load: 24kg (45%)

That is, Acc. Intl L115 AE sniper rifle w/1 45 round reload, Warp Med Kit, Psi Projector, warp assault rifle, 4 grenades. Bio Armor.

 

Str VG

Ag Heroic

Dex VG

WP Heroic

Int VG

Perc G

He's been at 55% and maintains heroic speed

 

Hope this is useful to you.

 

See Brian run. See Brian scout. Go Brian, go! I :inlove: Brian

Thanks, but i also need the capacity skill value.

If i manage to collect a list of capacity,load kg and load percent, I can calculate how many kilograms each capacity level means. Cause I suspect its a fixed table.

Oh dear, he went up to level 17 last night. Here are all his skill and attributes at this time.

MKSMN HEROIC (H) STR E

I now have his load at 37Kg (70%) and he still has Heroic speed.

I'm finished with this thread. Hope this helps. SerAris
