Yes, it is possible. The furniture line gives "structure assembly", not "structure experiment". The loss you'll have is the +20 structure experiment that you pick up at Master Architect.

Right now I typically use 8 experiment points to hit BER13, and then use my last 2 points for storage. So as a 0/4/4/0 architect you *will* be able to hit BER13, but you typically won't have any points to spend on storage and you won't have a "safety net" if you get a "good" result on your experimentation.

However, if you make schematics to make heavies, then that shouldn't be that big a problem. In fact, if you do a little planning you can make some schematics *now* before you drop the skills and be able to turn out heavies for some time before you even need to face this.

I think that you'll probably find it noticably harder to get maximum BER as without the structure assembly points it will be harder to get great successes. I haven't done any specific testing but I think that structure assembly points make quite a bit of difference in your success rate. I've got about 123 structure assembly myself and very rarely get anything but great successess. I suspect if you only had 20 points or whatever from 0/4/4/0 then you'll fare a lot worse.

k ty.

so my next question is... Is +26 the max assembly u can get from tapes? Or could i drop down to +50 assembly with my skills, and then add +50 assembly from tapes to get back up to +100?

Everything that I've always read has said that the most "bonus" that you can get from your clothing is +25. That is, if you have more than +25, it will *display* the total (e.g., 100/+132) but the "effect" is capped at +25.

Again, you have to look at your plans. If you can make some schematics now then you might be able to produce heavies for *months* before actually crafting a new one, depending on your sales volume.
