I was doing some crafting on TC-EP3 last night and noticed that in some cases resources with higher weighted average won't give you higher results as expected.

Here's an example. I was crafting Recon Armor Segments.

CASE I

I used:

• Tilo (Cubirian Steel)
  
• Durohaism (Diatium Copper)
  
• Aopaof (Talusian Fiberplast)
  
• Ehiolo (Tatooine Leathery Hide)
  

Weihgted average on these resources is 811.286. I was able to experiment to 75% and got 778 protection points.

CASE II

I used:

• Carbapeide (Duralloy Steel)
  
• Durohaism (Diatium Copper)
  
• Ero (Gravitonic Fiberplast)
  
• Ehiolo (Tatooine Leathery Hide)
  

Weihgted average on these resources is 805.714. This time I was able to experiment to 79% and got 814 protection points.

Anybody else noticed this strange behaviour?

BTW, I hope this is a bug so I /buged it ingame...

Check the weighted average of OQ/UT. Maybe they didn't manage to change it after all...

I thought that might be the case too, so I checked weighted average for OQ/UT combination as well. In this case the difference between weighted averages is even greater (I>II), so this is not the problem...

Did you get all greats on case 1?

I've done more testing and MAL definitely has certain role in determining experimentation cap (and experimentation start). It seems that OQ+SR average on some resources (metals so far, probably ores - chemicals and hides don't follow this rule) is being modified depending on MA value to some degree.

You can notice this on those RED/YELLOW/GREEN bars, too. Just find some resources with similar (OQ+SR) average and different MA (some good, and some terrible) and you'll see how quality bar goes up and down just because of MA stat.

I wasn't able to find exact equations so far, but in best case scenario you'll be able to experiment to WA/10 (that's what we have on live ATM).

I'll try to find out more on this subject as soon as I grab some time to do more tests...
