2026-02-09 - Sprint 2 Phase 2 Complete + Agent Swarm Build

Session Summary

Time: 09:00 - 09:45 UTC
Commits: 15+ including agent swarm builds
Status: Core hunting system functional, calculations need refinement

What Was Built

✅ COMPLETED - Agent Swarm (3 parallel agents)

Agent 1: Loadout Manager v2.0

• Full Nexus API integration (3,099 weapons, 1,985 armors, 106 finders)
• Attachment system: Amplifiers, Scopes, Absorbers, Armor Platings
• Weapon/Armor/Attachment selectors with real data
• Complete cost calculations (weapon + armor + attachments + healing)
• NEW: ui/attachment_selector.py (678 lines)

Agent 2: Armor Decay Tracking

• When player takes damage → armor decay cost calculated
• Added to HUD total cost automatically
• Uses real armor decay from Nexus API

Agent 3: Healing Cost (partial)

• Healing tools selection in Loadout Manager
• Cost per heal tracking

✅ HUD Enhancements

• Cost tracking per shot (weapon decay)
• Profit/Loss calculation (loot - cost)
• Color-coded P/L (green=profit, red=loss)
• Shots fired counter
• Estimated kills (1 per loot event)
• DPP display in HUD

✅ Core Systems

• core/attachments.py - Full attachment type system
• Attachment compatibility validation
• Mock attachment data for testing

Issues Discovered

Calculation Bugs (CRITICAL)

Weapon cost showing 30,590 PED/hour - completely wrong!

Problems:

• Ammo: 848 PEC/shot - should be ~8.48 PEC (0.0848 PED)
• DPP: 0.0506 - way too low (should be ~2-4)
• Unit conversion errors between PEC/PED

Armor System Needs Redesign

User feedback:

• Want to pick armor sets OR individual parts
• Current implementation annoying
• Mix & match should be supported (e.g., Ghost Harness + Shogun Arms)

Attachment Research Needed

• Real EU attachment mechanics not fully understood
• Need to research from Entropia Wiki/Nexus
• Amplifiers: add damage + increase ammo burn
• Scopes: range boost, minimal decay
• Absorbers: damage reduction, moderate decay

Next Steps

1. Fix calculation bugs - Unit conversion, DPP formula
2. Research attachments - Proper decay/effect values
3. Redesign armor system - Sets + individual parts
4. Test with real hunt - Verify costs are realistic

Key Decisions

• Kill tracking: 1 per loot event (estimated, not exact)
• Shrapnel handling: included in loot, not kill count
• Cost tracking: weapon decay per shot + armor decay per hit + plate decay per hit
• Agent swarm effective for parallel development but needs verification
• Armor Plating: 7 pieces, 1 plate per piece, plates take damage FIRST

Technical Debt

• Calculation formulas need unit tests
• Attachment effects need validation against real EU data
• Armor system needs complete rewrite for flexibility
