ok... id just like to know why on this one....


I got some aluminum here, Oubeite...


let me give you the stats:


cold resistance: 790


conductivity: 749


decay resistance: 767


heat resistance: 785


malleability: 999


shock resistance: 817


unit toughness: 791



then the real kicker



overall quality: 160



What gives? an apparently quite good overall mineral having such a low 'overall quality' ? What do you judge overall quality on if not the other qualities the material has? Is it just me or does this not make sense in the least? One would think that overall quality should be the average of the rest of the materials stats. Just kinda dumb.

replace "overall quaility" with the phrase "Variable One" do the same for all resource attributes (using "Variable Two/Three" etc) and it might make sense to you.

OQ et al are RP things.

Also note that Overall Quality is not used by many items. If you are crafting something that needs Mallability 50% and Connductivity 50% this material is quite nice. Only if the item you are crafting need OQ is this an issue.
