I can work with this, thank you for the information. Give me a moment to get a some good music playing, grab a drink, and put another mouth full of ranch sunflower seeds in a cheek. And yes Im going to derail a bit just to get a clear view on MAX AI weapons. Sorry about that.


First let me order them by faction. It makes things readable and much faster to find.
Code:
NC
Scatter-
24,731 Kills
5,036 Unique Killers
4.9 kpu

Mattock-
5,728 Kills
346 Unique Killers
16.56 kpu

Grinder-
9,610 Kills
792 Unique Killers
12.13 kpu

Hacksaw-
19,281 Kills
1,224 Unique Killers
15.75 kpu
===========

TR
Heavy C-
22,592 Kills
5,275 Unique Killers
4.28 kpu

Mercy-
20,399 Kills
1,587 Unique Killers
12.85 kpu

Mutilator-
14,659 Kills
1,311 Unique Killers
11.18 kpu

Onslaught-
5,361 Kills
426 Unique Killers
12.58 kpu
===========

VS
Quasar-

13.00 kpu

Nebula- 
11,423 Kills
683 Unique Killers
16.72 kpu
With them in order by faction I can give better opinions. First thing I see is the kpu, thanks to your ordering, and that no TR weapon is placed till 6th out of 12. That is odd, and good proof that TR MAXes don't last long enough or have the least support compared to NC and VS MAXes.

===

Next is total kills. Damn are these numbers another story from kpu. Mattocks and Onslaughts are just shit with only 5k kills when everything else is at least 2 times that number but for grinders. Then you have Quasars on top with 31k kills. 7k over 2nd place of 24k, just under a 1/3 better, and Quasars have over 5 times the kills of last place!

===

Finally we have unique killers. This one is a bit harder to read for me without pulling them out and putting them next to each other. With pure totals you should see around 2 times the number of players that killed with MAX AI weapons (2 weapons for each player).

So for just totals you have
NC-7,398, TR-8,599, VS-9,484

That's telling me that VS is by FAR using the most MAXes and NC is pulling the least for AI work. NC is behind by over a thousand to TR and TR is behind by almost 900 to VS. You have to remember that this is for both arms and you need to cut the totals in half for AI MAXes getting kills but even then the story is the same with NC having the least MAXes, TR in the middle, and VS with the most by a large number.

Im not even going to get into how I make for 2 of the 346 of the Mattock users. It is just sad to see such a great weapon being so under used.

===

Using all 3 data points. I can't say much on on everything as a whole now and need more time thinking it over. VS still looks to have the best AI MAX but without having time to think things over and letting it sink in I can't give a good idea yet on how good they are. Id need to see a lot more of these things to get a full picture of MAXes as a class.

Can't wait to get my hands on this gold mine myself.
