What classes are doing tech damage?
If I put this in a piece and I'm doing impact with it, do I do impact AND tech damage now?

    Nanoseers and Engineers use tech craft to my knowledge. Tech damage as a type isn’t really a thing.

    7.11 *** Damage

           7.10 < Bashing                                     Arena > 7.12

    There are a number of different types of direct damage you may encounter in Starmourn (as opposed to subsystem damage -
    see HELP SUBSYSTEMS for more on this).

       - melee:
       - tech:
       - kith:
       - ranged:
       - impact:
       - electromagnetic:
       - thermal:
       - cellular:
       - mental:
       - draining:
       - electric:

    All attack abilities, whether from class or general skills, use one of these forms of damage. NPC attacks also utilize
    different kinds of damage.

    Damage is broken up into two components, a damage source and a damage type, damage sources are the first ones on the list, Melee, Tech, Kith, Ranged, then your damage type is impact, thermal etc.

    All damage has a source and a type, so a BEASTs backhand is Melee/impact, or a Nanoseer swarm is Tech/Cellular. Weapon mods come in a wide variety of types, but you'll often see ones that boost either a damage source (like @Perfect received), or a damage type. 

    We'll work on getting this information into the AB files, since it's kinda of important to know what abilities a mod is going to influence.

    Do mods only affect damage with that particular weapon or does having a mod equipped affect all your skills?

    EG: Can I put ranged damage mods in my knuckledusters and improve my pew pew damage?

    It's odd right, the HELP WEAPONMOD says you can't put a melee one in a ranged weapon, but the mod doesn't say if it's ranged or not.

    I am just hit lvl 17 and I haven't even seen any mod drops. Heck, I haven't even gotten a drop to upgrade my toolkit. I would still have a lvl 1 toolkit if i hadn't went and bought a lvl 10 toolkit. But heh, I gain like a lvl or two a day right now (if I wanted too) so I guess it's not all bad.

    Just the weapon that the ability scales on. So putting a +thermal mod on your knuckledusters would not increase the combusting ammo damage from your piece etc.
