Is there anything more in-depth on mercs than wiki? if so could you point me to it, i tried searching but couldn't find anything - too cluttered with random stuff.
My main question is - do mercs use ammo? I'm guessing yes but just want to confirm.

[Ganado]

Yes, mercs use ammo, and their weapons deter.

[Slaver Snipe]

If you are planning on not trying to player hunt (or even if you are and you are only after 1-2 players at a time) sharpened spears are quite good, good damage penetrate perk and it doesn't det/use ammo.  Supersledges are also fun but are a lot pricier.

Is PVP real-time or turn-based?
Does AP play a role in PVP?
Thanks in advance

[Crazy]

Is PVP real-time or turn-based?

Can be both in encounters, but in towns, RT only.

Does AP play a role in PVP?

Yes, a very, very, very important role.

[Dragfest]

Can be both in encounters, but in towns, RT only.

Yes, a very, very, very important role.

How many PVP battles out of ten do you think are real-time?
How do action points play a role in PVP combat if it's in real-time?

Thanks in advance

[Slaver Snipe]

Well I have my combat for encounters switched to RT and apparently when you have it like that (or just tb) those are the only type of encounters you can enter, so 100% of my battles are RT and I like it that way 

In RT battles the higher max AP you have the faster the AP regenerates. (You do not gain action points in RT while doing "actions" which includes running, opening a door etc.)

[Dragfest]

Oh i see, i never played Fallout in realtime somehow i think i will prefer TB though..
Btw does an aimed shot cost more AP?
How much would an aimed shot with a Laser Rifle cost?
Is this the correct formulae for how much hp points your first aid will heal? skill% + ((Perception+Intelligence)/2)
What's the average AC of most players?

Thanks in advance

[Josh]

yes
more than the default shot, idk exact I have fast shot XD
idk
idk again depends upon what they plan to do with character

[Ganado]

Aimed shots to Eyes, Head, or Groin cost +2 AP
Aimed shots to anywhere else cost +1 AP See: http://fo2238.fodev.net/wiki/Aimed_Shot
So, without any perks or traits, an aimed shot of Laser rifle to eyes will cost 7 AP (5+2).

For FA Formula: No. It's more complicated, and is based on Luck for most part:
Quote

    New formula: Random((10+LK)*skill/100, skill).

With 6 luck, minimum for snipers/minigunners.
Skill 100, luck 6: Random ((10+6) * 100/100, skill) = Random (16, 100) = 58 HP healed on average (Roughly a free stimpak and a half)
Skill 125, luck 6: Random ((10+6)*125/100,skill) = Random (20,125) = 72.5 HP healed on average
Skill 150, luck 6: Random ((10+6)*150/100,skill) = Random (24,150) = 87 HP healed on average
Skill 175, luck 6: Random ((10+6)*175/100,skill) = Random (28,175) = 101.5 HP healed on average (Roughly a free super stimpak)


With 10 luck
Skill 100, luck 10: Random ((10+10) * 100/100, skill) = Random (20, 100) = 60 HP healed on average
Skill 125, luck 10: Random ((10+10)*125/100,skill) = Random (25,125) =  75 HP healed on average
Skill 150, luck 10: Random ((10+10)*150/100,skill) = Random (30,150) = 90 HP healed on average
Skill 175, luck 10: Random ((10+10)*175/100,skill) = Random (35,175) = 105 HP healed on average

____
20s for AC, if they are wearing armor. AC without armor can only be up to 10, if they have 10 AG, which most people don't. So average of like 7 or 8 AC for bluesuits.

Thanks mate
What is someone with no repair skill supposed to do in this game?
I don't want to be running around with broken equipment :s

Thanks in advance

[Slaver Snipe]

Well you can make an alt for a repairer/crafter or you could simply look in stores for 0% det items and buy them with caps or lots and lots of broken weapons you farmed in the wastes. Most MMO's you would be able to find someone to pay to repair your shit, chances of that in Fonline are very very slim as the player base believes that everyone else is out to kill them and so they will kill you first. (If you do magically find such a person don't be surprised if they just keep what you gave them.)

[Dragfest]

Thanks for the heads up mate
The wastes are a dreary place :s

[Eternauta]

From Changelog 19/12/2010:

Quest locations default combat mode now corresponds to the player's own mode.

If I want to, say, do the Dogs of L.A. quest in Turn Based, do I have to switch to TB before getting the quest from Hendriks or can I talk to him while on RT, then travel to the quest location circle and switch to TB before entering?

[CaptOmg]

Where do you get Tobacco? I explored the Ghost Farm a little bit, and I wasn't able to find any type of Tobacco there.


edit: Nevermind, I found out Tobacco hasn't been implemented yet.
