It is not a bug; it is an oversight. The offline quests have their origins in Ver.1, and preserving the stats of the Agito you found is not possible on Ver.1. Sega made updates to Dr. Osto's Research and Unsealed Door to let you select monster parts from your inventory (which also isn't possible on Ver.1), but Sega never updated Seek my Master to read in the stats of the Agito and apply them to the Orochi-Agito that it gives you to, so you still get a blank Orochi-Agito, as always. It would be possible to change the quest to preserve the stats of your Agito, but it would not be a vanilla behaviour to do so. The quest is working properly, though, even if the correct operation is not necessarily desirable.

Nobody knows, since it's invisible. The way to test would be to set up a Hunter and Ranger with the same ATA and Handgun against a stationary enemy, such as Indi Belra. Have both of them shoot the Belra at maximum Handgun range several hundred times while counting the number of successful hits with and without SmartLink, and then do the same thing at point blank range. If Hunters get a range penalty, the Ranger should hit more often than the Hunter at maximum range, while they should land the same number of successful hits at point blank range, and the two of them should also score the same number of successful hits at maximum range when the Hunter is wearing SmartLink. If SmartLink adds invisible ATA, the Hunter should score more successful hits than the Ranger at both maximum and point blank range, unless Hunters get a range penalty but SmartLink adds invisible ATA instead of removing the penalty. 
The trick to making the test successful is to choose the correct ATA value so that neither the Hunter nor Ranger is particularly accurate; both classes need to miss at least 50% of the time in order to show a difference either way. The other trick is getting a large enough sample size; simply shooting 100 times won't cut it.

I found it's much easier to take the reverse engineering way than to do those tests, whether manually or automatically
The hit/miss calculation of ranged attack from TethVer12510 client looks like following pseudo code
For example, if you're using handgun to attack an enemy at handgun's max range, it's ok to use handgun's range 170 as a rough approximation of distance
So, without SmartLink, your chance to hit is lowered by 0.57 in this case
tl;dr
All smartLink does is removing the range penalty of hunter and force
The hit/miss calculation of ranged attack from TethVer12510 client looks like following pseudo code
Code:
ATA = origATA
switch atkType
{
case normal:
ATA = ATA * 1.0
case hard:
ATA = ATA * 0.7
case special:
ATA = ATA * 0.5
case untekked special:
ATA = ATA * 0.05
}
switch comboStep
{
case first:
ATA = ATA * 1.0
case second:
ATA = ATA * 1.3
case third:
ATA = ATA * 1.69
}
EVP = origEVP
if frozen:
EVP = EVP - origEVP * 0.3
if shocked:
EVP = EVP - origEVP * 0.15
if paralyzied:
EVP = EVP - origEVP * 0.15
chance = ATA - EVP * 0.2
if not ranger or without smartlink:
chance = chance - distance * 0.33 # distance between you and your target
chance = change * 0.01
if chance > rand(0, 1):
hit
else:
missSo, without SmartLink, your chance to hit is lowered by 0.57 in this case

Sega's the one who broke the game, as they're the ones who coded it that way.falkenjeff said:

What? PSOX had Section ID skewing, too? I thought that was new to BB.

No it isn't. The calculation is the same as in all other versions. Each character just gets an arbitrary value added to the sum of the values of every character in his name so that each class gets a different ID with the same name. On previous versions, the same name generates the same ID on every every character.

What is the key for autorun? I was sure there was one and have seen players speak while running, but I always forget it every time I take a break from PSO1 I swear...
Also I don't recall there being any but just in case: is there any way to customise what menus the F keys shortcut to? Or at the very least a shortcut to open the non-team chat log window.

Auto-run and Auto-walk default settings got wiped for new characters when Sodaboy made settings save across all characters on an account. You'll need to input them in manually under Keyboard Settings → Custom (this is assuming you made your chars after that update).

Actually, that's just cosmetic. I just made a new character on a new account and Q and E still work for auto walk/run. It shows as "----" for "Default1" for "Lock Move Forward" and "Lock Walk Forward", but the keys Q and E still actually work.Matt said:
