If that's what you want to do, then more power to ya. But I calculated the cost of my stations the other day and the value of the raw resources alone for one station is over 17K. Obviously your server might be different, but the high quality materials required for a high end station are going to be valuable an any server.

yeah...


i dont make the stations because i no longer have master artisan....


none of the subcomponets list their stats.....


so just because someone names their droid storage compartment "97% DSC" doesnt mean its true.....i cant really control the quality so i dont make them...if i cant make the best i dont make it...i also have a feeling that most MAster artisans are complete noobs and make the chips with waht ecer crap resource they can get their hands on....


I really wish they would move those chips to Droid Engineer so we can get some more experieced people to make them - sorry but i really hate "master" artisans in general....they act like its a real profession but IMO its like letting someone who has only taken a few courses at a Junior collegemake the most important parts of a machine built by PHDs


I have the best copper ever spawned and still only got 25% because of the subs


i am also in the faction that believes that tyhe stations have little to no effect on crafting....materials and your skill level seem to be the only real variables

Problem is that unless you try taking each of the professions needed for making the sub combines, you cannot be fully sure of the quality of the item. I recently found out that part of my stations only reaching +35.9 was some crappy artisan Sub combines, got some of those up to around 70-80% and raised it another 2 points... next I go after droid storage units. Grr...

The copper I've been using for the station is a 999 Cond copper. Soon as a better one shows up though...






Yeah... I use the following in my stations now:


100% GP Modules


100% Energy Distribs


100% Control Units


100% Droid storage compartments


92% Micro Sensor Suites (the only crummy resource here is the conductivity rating on my Steel)


999 Conductivity copper for the final combine


Putting all of that together, I get 44.20 craft stations every time.


I would have made some 45.0 schematics, but the server went down just before I was able to.

How the heck do you get 100%


I've experimented with a few different things and ive used thousands of 999 and 1000 stat materials but i only get 99% max !!!!


I've experimented HUNDREDSof itemsto only get 99% max !!!!


I've gotten 3 awsome's on one linewhile making anitem a few times but still only 99% !!!!!


I've gotten 99% stats and still have like 2-4 points left !!!!


100% is impssible in my experience

100% quality was possible on March 16 for about 18 hours. It wasn't before then, and it isn't now.

Technically you can still get 100%, but it requires perfect resources. I've always been able to make 100% (15.0) crafting tools by using 1000 CD copper. That same copper gets me to 100% on the final build of the station since it only requires conductivity. Since theonly thing the MSS subcomps require is OQ, it would be possible to get 100% on the GPs, EDs and CUs, assuming you had 1000 OQ ore, steel, copper, gas and polymer. Unlikely to have them all on the same server, but possible.


The MSSs and the DSCs are a problem though. Steel seems to be gated at 650 CD which will drag you below 100% on the MSS. As for the DSC, it now requires CD and OQ. Unless you have 1000/1000 copper, you won't be getting 100% DSCs. As far as I know, the best copper ever was on Bria, 1000 CD, 990 OQ.

From day one I started as a miner in the game. I got architect just to make harvestors for myself and my guild. I didn't sell any buildings for a long time. When experimentation was instituted for stations I was in a great position to make excellent stations and most of the resources I had gathered myself. I make a decent profit at 16K and just about everyone on Ahazi knows how to get my shop even though we are 2K from the closest shuttle. Offering them at this price also attracts a ton of business for my harvestors and weapon lines as well as all my guildmates shops.

Should we mentionthe Devs have NEVER told us what high-rated crafting stations do? And afew tests by playersseem to indicate that high-rated crafting stations don't help with experimentation, and only slightly help with critical failures?
