ok i am on corellia... i can find really hit rated aluminum for one thing, but bones and vace (fiberplast) are terrible.... no matter where i go (or what I kill) i can't get good overall quality for these resources... anybody have any thoughts on this? the other thing is, if there ARE different quality "veins" of the same resource on one planet, and the resource gets put into a container already holding the low quality resource what happens? do i need to destroy my low quality vace every time i want to sample to see if i have found a good source?

If the resource is the same exact name, like Bemiall Aluminum, for example, it all has the same Attributes. So placing more on the pile changes nothing.

As for finding good bone, you'll have to kill different things to find it. Different creatures bones have different attributes. The aluminum might just not be on the planet. We have two kinds on Rori, Starsider, atm, and one is pretty decent. Guess you may have to hit another planet for Aluminum or buy it.

so ALL vace (fiberplast chemical) in the WHOLE GALAXY has an overall rating of 76?? How can i make a decent fiberplast panel without good fiberplast??

Resources are dynamic up to a point. If they are the same name, they have the same attributes, but there can be different resources on some planets. Also, each galaxy has comepletety different resources. For example, Bria, Correllia has only one fiberplast, but it has an overall quality of around 600. As resources are used up throughout your galaxy they will regenerate with new stats and locations (and names).

As players start being able to mine more, resources should start showing up on the bazaar. If you check the galaxy for resources you might be able to find some at that time with better stats. That'll mean some travel to go get the resource though. Or you can wait a bit for resources to run out and be regenerated. You might get a better resource then, possibly closer to home.

I guess it will be similar for animals. I would suspect that tougher animals will have better resources, but I can't confirm this. Any scouts around?

hrm...i'm on Corellia also, and just checked the 1 stack of bone that i have (and these are from mynocks to those huge quadropeds camel things, to newbie area durnis)

i found all bones on Corellia stack (so far) and that it's overall quality is 378.

could it also be server related? i see surveyable resource names vary from my 2 artisans on 2 different servers.

On starsider the fiberplast has an overall rating of 6. However, different items use a different attribute and the other numbers are huge. Like durability is 800 something. SO much for the overall quality being an average of the other attributes. The clothes I make though, still seem to be of a least aveage quality.

yeah, you only have a certain TYPE of fiberplast on corellia. It goes by a different name, and therefore, different attributes on another planet. There are MANY different types of every resource. Just look at your mineral list, I'm sure there are a few types of some. You'll see what I mean.

There are many diffrent resources that varry from planet to planet. IF cant find one on yours move and try another. Some types are planet specific but each planet probably has its own type, sometimes just have to check out another planet to see if its a better sourse and export/import it.
