How do you experiment, at what skills does this become availible?

Just craft stuff at the terminal. It will prompt you through it. Just use the help

Experimenting is easy, actually.

I would suggest looking athttp://swg.allakhazam.com/db/guides.html?category=Crafting- it's helped me with those guides.

Make sure you build and use the right crafting tool. Stand next to a Weapon, Droid and General crafting station while using a Weapon, Droid and General ccrafting tool (you can build these with Eng 1 I believe). If the schematic you are working can be experimented on a new screen will pop up after you add the resources and start to build the item. It lists: make prototype, make factory schematic, experiment. Click on experiment and you will be off to the experiment screen.

So there I was, stood in front of the general craftingstation with my general crafting tool, and I get no more options than if I'm stood no where near the crafting station (I got told it would let me experiment)

Do I need a certain skill level or a specific tool to experiment on stuff?

Thanks

There is no General Crafting Station. You need specific crafting tools for each station. For instance you need a Weapon and Droid Crafting Tool for the Weapon and Droid Crafting station, or a Clothing and Armor Crafting Tool for the Clothing and Armor Crafting Station. These tools can be made with your General Crafting Tool.

Hope that helps.
