You can get a bonus of +25 in skill tapes, even though +20 will make you a 12-point armoursmith, and that is the best you can be.
But I keep hearing rumors that being a force sensitive will allow you an additional +20 experimentation.
If I add this up right, Master Armoursmith gives you +90 which is 10 experimentation points. +25 through skill tapes makes it +115 which is 12.
Add +20 and that's +135 which makes you 14.
Now are we completely sure that this skill list at swgexplorer.dras.us is on the level? Or is that a bunch of hysterics over a fan made skill list?
I've also heard that force bonuses and skill tape bonuses won't stack.
So what is that current state on the rumormill?

There was a quote from fanfest that indicated that the FS boxes would give extra experimentation points - leading to the 14-point smith notion.
However, ever since the system went on to Test Center there were no experimentation points associated with the FS experimentation boxes. Apparently their only effect is to increase the chances of recieving an "amazing success" upon experimentation.
That's what will go live tomorrow - whether it changes later on is anyone's guess.

That would be interesting, an armor nerf yet the ability to make it better.../ponder

Everyone asks this question all the time. I would seriously love to hear a Dev response. I've always thought that communication skills are very important. Come on Devs! Can we please get an answer?

I seriously doubt it though the devs will probably leave it another worthless in there zeal to push us another hopelesslyscrewed patch

the extra pts wont make resists any higher, if they do its by a really slim amount that wont be noticeable, basically the extra pts will make the armor lighter and have more condition

either way will help as long as it does something.
The 2 points would be better but i can live with increased chance for amazings. I am so close to 80/80/80/80/x i can taste it and think i can hit it with all amazings but havent been able to try cause im not even a master yet just been using a friends acount to make schematics and cant tie it up for long periods of time working on the perfect rolls.

i dont think that the force experimentation counts towards the number of points that u have to spend on experimentation, it seems to generl, which leads me to believe that it acts like bespin port or research centers. i think that it just increases the chances of getting good rolls.

I belive that is how it will work as well. However the devs did state that it would add additional exp points at fan fast according to many of the people that where there but then the devs have never been noted for consistancy or sticking to what they say so it will probably end up being whatever is easiest to code cause that seems to be the way they make there development choices.

Devs responding to an intelligent inqury is very hard at anytime.....because i dont think they know what they want!!!!!.....maybe a few weeks it will lead to 14pt masters...but they would say maybe that wasnt a good idea and change their minds...... I wish they sat down for like amonth and discuss where they want to go with the game and discuss aspects that would influence certain systems......and stick with the game plan!!!!!!!
Who knows...maybe it will be 14pt masters on mondaysandFridays on a full moon in Mississippi when a Chicken crosses a road...and all other times it will be 12 pt masters. The game is so buggy like that. Just like me flying off my vehicle and end up 300 meters in a hurrton howler lair and die!!!!!!! and a waste of money on insurance and decay on the items...when it was clearly the games fault.
Just a rant........
