[SC] P.E.T. AGAIN

Hi All,

I have been thinking about this and I wanted my fellow pilots commit on this. Now I normally don't have my P.E.T. in guardian mode because I want it collecting my kills and power boxes. But when I do it is usually against the stronger aliens. I figure a few more points against the aliens can't hurt.

I was wondering why it has so few damage points. I was trying to get a green booty box and my P.E.T. was in guardian mode fighting alone a little white crystal. It was firing at the little white crystal and was doing about 1,000 +/- a few hundred points of damage with each pass. When it was fighting against the blighted crystal with me, it was causing 5,000 +/- a 1,000 damage points of damage. Now I was using x1 on white and x3 on the blighted. But it isn't much damage.

Why so few damage points?

P.E.T. is 15th Level it has 2 Laser Gun Protocol 3rd level each, and 2 Targeting Protocol 3rd level each. It carries 8 Spectral Lancer III 16th level and 2 Scatter Laser II 16th level. That is 10 lasers and my ship (Citadel Elite) (I'm 18th Level) has 7 lasers: 5 Lancer III and 2 Scatter II 16th Level which cause 4 to 5 times more damage. I do have Seprom loaded up for lasers.

Can I boost up its damage?

Only protocols can boost P.E.T's damage (and level up to 19 or somewhere if I remember right, might be wrong as well), such as alien protocols versus only aliens (up to 6% on lvl 3, 8% on lvl 4 if remember right), meanwhile laser protocols boosts PvE and PvP damage (up to 4% on lvl 3, 6% on lvl 4 if I remember right). Also putting better lasers in there, such as magma drills, lvl 16 LF-4's or even regular ones increases it a bit.

However, guardian mode is kind of bad idea in PvE, unless you want something slightly faster. It wastes ammo, gets no rock boost in damage and isn't really useful.

 

lf4 Paritydrill ... times 10 should hit at 2,170 using x-1 ammo

 

Hi All,

Thank you for the information. On Config. 2 I have LF-4 16 level and 2 Scatter Laser. Config. 1 have mostly Spectral Lancer which I thought when was researching weapons were good against Aliens, and Lasers were good against people. I have been in Config. 2 and it kills Aliens faster, but I have more shields then speed generators. Config. 1 is opposite.
