Droid speed and turn meter with JE

I've tried this multiple ways using different mod-speed combinations. However once recalibrate goes off for whatever reason even if HK has more speed than 88 or 86 one of them may go first. I'm not sure why unless they all get the 45 speed at the same time and the system reads them all at 100% meter all at once, thus making RNG happen.

I have gotten mine to work so that the order is JE, HK, 88, 86 everytime.

JE is 185 base (without droid bonus)
HK is 126
88 is 124
86 is 123

I have not omegaed recalibrate so not sure if that will change things with the extra 5% turn meter gain.

They all get 45% turn meter when JE uses recalibrate. This fills turn meter on any toon at 55% meter or more, resulting in a tie between those characters. RNG determines who goes first.

Doesn't JE give himself +50?

i dont know, but i added +50

yeah me too, seems fine...

I really seriously consider 100% and it's a roll of the dice to be a bug... I know that's "how it's always been done" but it seems like shoddy coding to me.

IMO it should only be a coin flip if two of the droids have the same speed.... otherwise if both are at 100% then it should be whoever technically got there first (ie. sort by speed).

It really bugs me that 47 and 86 can have the same speed so coin flip then if there is a Dooku or other counter dude B2 can go before 88 or even that the opponents B2 can go before my toons who are already sitting at 100%.... I would concede arguing this point much quicker than my original point on this though of my own droids.... the faster one at 100% should go first.

Help! Something weird is going on with Speed. I don't understand TM at all, anymore.

My JE is not omega'd yet, so he gives 40% TM.
His speed in my test matches is 250+, which means he goes before other droid teams JE at speed 200. This is indeed the case,

My JE goes in tick 4, I presume. Since his adjusted speed is 256. He gives 40% TM to my droids in tick 4. My droids are still not full yet. But in tick 5, they should fill, right? Any droid with speed 120+, 5 ticks is 600 points, and 40% of TM bar is 400 points, right? 600+400 = time to act? So they should get same chance to go as the other team's JE, who also fills in tick 5. I have 3 droids with high enough speed to act in tick 5. So other teams JE should have a 25% chance of going first in tick 5, no?

In 3 matches in a row, the other team JE goes next, AND all three of his droids go before mine. Every single one, every time. I know that is possible, but the odds say that is like winning the lottery? I did this against 2 different droids teams, one with a lvl 7 recalibrat and speed 200-249, and against another team with an omega Recalibrate, speed 200-249. I don't get this TM stuff, anymore.

If anyone can explain, please help.

Also, I read someone else says that speed 128 is the magic number for a droid to fill TM (with a speed 200 JE, I assume). I have played with this number, and indeed, if one of my droids is 128 or higher, it appears (so far) they always go before a droid with 127 or lower. (I did not verify the EXACT number, but it must be this or very close). If I do the TM math, this doesn't make any sense.

When Recalibrate give 40%/45% TM, does that not equal 400/450 out of 1000 points in the toon's TM bar? Or is it giving plus 45% of whatever TM the toon already has at that time?!?!? If that's the case, it seems like you do not want to get JE's speed over 250.

Use the spreadsheet, enter speed and change special from 45% to 40%

My JE is omegaed and he has 200 speed, so the magical number for me is 110. My nebit has 109 speed, which means that he always will act after ig88 and ig86

^ that is how I understand it. 450 from recalibrate. 5 ticks x 110 = 550.
But none of my experience jives with this. It is infuriating. And why would it be any different if JE acted one tick sooner?

I don't get the spreadsheet, at all. I believe it may be correct, but I want to understand the math behind it.

I'm gonna have 45% omega JE in 9 hours. But I don't know how much longer we get free mod swaps! And I want to understand the math/mechanics! @Romec245 , can you please explain the math behind this?
