=== Attributes and attribute modifiers ===

Vorton Projectors uniquely use their own set of attributes, only affected by Vorton Projectors themselves, Condenser Packs, Vorton Tuning Systems, bonuses of EDENCOM ships, and related skills. The general rule is: if something does not says it affects Vorton Projectors, then it don't. There are few effects can affect attributes of Vorton Projectors:

* 'Pyrolancea' boosters apply their weapon damage bonus to Vorton Projectors.

* 'Halycon' boosters apply their optimal range bonus to Vorton Projectors.

* Wolf-Rayet wormholes apply their small weapon damage bonus to small Vorton Projectors.

* Magnetar wormholes apply their damage bonus and explosion velocity penalty to Vorton Projectors.

* Black-Hole wormholes apply an explosion velocity bonus to Vorton Projectors.

That said, Vorton Projectors are not affected by '''anything else''':

* Core gunnery skills and missile skills do not affect Vorton Projectors, with this set of weapons instead having its own equivalents for {{sk|Gunnery}} and {{sk|Missile Launcher Operation}} (root prerequisite, -cycle time), {{sk|Rapid Firing|}} and {{sk|Rapid Launch}} (-cycle time), {{sk|Sharpshooter}} (+optimal range), {{sk|Surgical Strike}} and {{sk|Warhead Upgrades}} (+damage), and a skill combining {{sk|Target Navigation Prediction}} (+explosion velocity) with {{sk|Guided Missile Precision}} (-explosion radius).

* All modules that affect turrets or missiles do not affect Vorton Projectors.

Line 23:

Line 29:

* There are no tracking upgrade modules for Vorton Projectors, which are available to other weapon systems.

* There are no [[rig]]s to improve Vorton Projectors, just like Entropic Disintegrators.

* No [[medical boosters]] benefits or penalize Vorton Projectors~~, except those specifically for Vorton Projectors (which are all expired)~~.

* No [[medical boosters]] benefits or penalize Vorton Projectors.

* All system effects, ~~notably Magnetar and~~ Wolf Rayet ~~in [[Wormhole space]]~~, Dark effect in [[Abyssal Deadspace]], and Plasma [[Metaliminal Storms]] do not apply to these weapons' damage, application, optimal range or any other stats.

* All system effects except Magnetar, Wolf Rayet and Black-Hole, notably Dark effect in [[Abyssal Deadspace]] and Plasma [[Metaliminal Storms]] do not apply to these weapons' damage, application, optimal range or any other stats.

* All effect beacons do not affect Vorton Projectors.

It used to be the case that 'Pyrolancea' and 'Halycon' boosters, Magnetar, Wolf Rayet and Black-Hole system effects do not apply their bonus and penalty to Vorton Projectors, just like all other boosters and all other system effects.

Vorton Tuning Systems were the only weapon damage mods that do not have Faction and officer variants and their mutaplasmids.

== Availability ==

EDENCOM ships, Vorton Projectors, Condenser Packs, Vorton Tuning Systems~~, and related skill books~~ are solely available from LP store of DED, ~~all are BPC except skill books.~~ Tech 2 BPC of them (if any) are only available from [[invention]]. Their production involves abyssal materials, and they are generally expensive.

BPC of EDENCOM ships, Vorton Projectors, Condenser Packs, Vorton Tuning Systems are solely available from LP store of DED, and Tech 2 BPC of them (if any) are only available from [[invention]]. Their production involves abyssal materials, and they are generally expensive.

EDENCOM ships and Vorton Projectors related skillbooks are available in CONCORD and DED, with the exception of Vorton specialization skillbooks are exclusive to LP store of DED.

Faction and officer variants of the Vorton Tuning Systems, and Vorton Tuning Systems mutaplasmids are available from aiding the empires against pirate insurgencies and turning in items at counter-insurgency operation facilities in their War HQs.

Vorton Projectors, Condenser Packs, and Vorton Tuning Systems are known for their odds in item cost that their Tech 1 items are incredibly expensive compared to their corresponding Tech 2 items. ~~All~~ Tech 1 Condenser Packs are ~~4 times~~ more expensive than Tech 2 Condenser Packs of the same size. Due to the low price to use Tech 2 items, Tech 2 items are mostly the most cost-effective option to use. Tech 1 variants are somehow ridiculously expensive to buy due to very few capsuleers manufacturing them since Tech 2 items are better, and Tech 2 blueprints do not accept them as ingredients.

Vorton Projectors, Condenser Packs, and Vorton Tuning Systems are known for their odds in item cost that their Tech 1 items are incredibly expensive compared to their corresponding Tech 2 items. While Tech 2 Vorton Projectors and Vorton Tuning Systems are just 10% more expensive than their corresponding Tech 1 modules, Tech 1 Condenser Packs are 110% to 140% more expensive than Tech 2 Condenser Packs of the same size. Due to the low price to use Tech 2 items, Tech 2 items are mostly the most cost-effective option to use. Tech 1 variants are somehow ridiculously expensive to buy due to very few capsuleers manufacturing them since Tech 2 items are better, and Tech 2 blueprints do not accept them as ingredients.

The odds are largely caused by the invention, and for Condenser Packs, their invention increase BPC runs and does not consume corresponding T1 items, and uses a different set of ingredients.
