Well it's happened to me twice... I have experimented a harvester up to its max BER (once on a heavy to 13 and once on a medium to a 10).. I usually have 2 experiment points left over, so I stick them into storage experimentation.

However on 2 occassions I have had a crit failure on storage experiment and seen my harvester BER drop from 13 to 12 or 10 to 9.... **edit** ??? I've bug reported it... it's hard enough making these things without have random supposedly mutually exclusive stuff affecting each other (never see experiment on storage INCREASE your BER rating do you ? !!!).

Bah

Had the same happen a few times, I don't experiment storage anymore, it just isn't worth the risk, and nobody pays more for extra storage anyways. So as soon as I hit top BER I stop experimenting and make the item.

Yeah that happened to me too before. Now, whenI make harvs manually and hit the max BER, I just leave the extra 2 experimentation points alone. For the extra 2 or 3k storage, I figure it's not really that beneficial anyway (at the risk of a fail and dropping the BER down a notch)

It isn't a bug per se. Apparently all items that allow 2 or more experimentation types do this. So if you are working on a pistol and have damage experimented up and switch to working on speed, a CF will damage the whole thing.

Thanks for the feedback guys, yea I guess if I am 'experimenting ' on something and screw it up, I supposed I cud drop the spanner into the grinding mechanism and that would damage those mining drills...
