Ohmwrecker's excellent spreadsheet on all things game data that's stickied at the top of the guides forum lists an "Elite Upgraded" column on the Basic skill effects. Does this mean that since I have Elite unlocked, those skills are upgraded? If not, what?

[_Rorschach_]

The bonuses of basic skills get doubled. Or at least they should, but Idk if the code is actually in the game yet.

Doubled when I unlock Elite? Elite is unlocked, and I have one set of elite skills completed, but the tooltips say the same thing as before.

IIRC, they get doubled when you unlock master (i.e. finish elite), not 100% positive though. It displays "2x" on the left side of the basic skills when they are doubled.

Only the Basic skills get doubled not the Elite. I honestly can't remember if it is on Elite completion or not though. I'll have to check when I get home.

[Void Angel]

Well, it's not on unlock, because I'm working on elite and they're not unlocked yet. So it's got to be on unlocking master, or on completing Elite for that chassis.

On the subject... What does the weapon convergence skill do? It says "convergence speed..." Do they mean the rate of convergence (and therefore a closer distance before, say my arm lasers, hit the same point,) or what? Right now convergence seems to cause my nonlaser weapons to actually cross over my sight picture to the opposite side of my reticle. If that's the case, the Weapon Convergence skill will be quite useless except for lasers - actually reducing my long-range accuracy with projectile weapons.

It almost has to be on Unlock. I have all the Elite skills on 2 variants of Catapult but only 2/4 Elite skills unlocked on the 3rd variant and I already have a 2X on Basic for all 3.

I'll pay closer attention when I unlock Elite on my HBK's tomorrow.

The Convergence skill is how fast your arm mounted weapons adapt so they hit the same spot at the distance of whatever your aiming reticle is pointing at. Imo, faster convergence is not always better but you can't skip it if you want to unlock Master.

Yeah, now that I look at it, it has a big X2 on the Basic tab, but it doesn't upgrade the tooltips, which is why I was confused. =)

So, you're saying convergence speed is how fast I can swap ranges with arm mounted weapons? So if I'm shooting at an Atlas at 100m, then switch to a Hunchback at 400m, the arm weapons take time to 'switch ranges?'

[Malevolent Twitch]

To a small degree yes. Every now and then, in game and targeting, you will notice your arm weapons (most easily noticed with lasers) cross beams at a certian point. That is the convergence point. Switch targets from one at 100m to say one at 700m and fire just as you switched targets you'll see the convergence point somewhere between the two distances.

[Void Angel]

So it happens, but it's fast. I can deal with that. =) Now if only I could get a decent 'mech mechanic to fix my torso sights...
