I agree here. On the other hand, D's made with good quality resources can make a huge difference in combat. I've never been able to make enough D's to sell. My friends all want them as fast as I can make them.

...so I always say, "Okay, let's all go fishing."

Yea, I've tried using really bad fish to make D's before, and came up with some D's that were in the 1100-1200 range (which is the same power as really good C's). One difference in D's though is even bad ones do give you the opportunity to get around 10 more charges out of a stack, but I agree that making low-end D's is not worth it, and just a waste of good fiberplast and med components.

For the last few weeks someone has been trying to sell this stack of fish meat on the Bria bazars that averages, I kid you not, less than 100 in the three stats, lol. No thanks, although I'm almost tempted to buy it just to see what the abosulte worst result possible is for D's made with otherwise good materials Plus I've never done a combine before where it lets you put like 1 point into power before you are maxed, lol.

I normally pay 100 cpu and expect to get stacks in multiples of exactly 405. (For 100 cpu I can be demanding ) This allows me to make 2 schematics and have enough left for a crate of Enh Myoflex, which I thenprice at150k. 100 cpu may seem a bit excessive, but I often have problems getting people to hunt for this.

I've offered 200+ cpu at times and recieved no responce from hunters. Collecting eggs just isn't economical. Spending a few hours to get a measly 500 or so eggs is really horrible.

Let's see. Two enraged rancor lairs at 30K each in 15 minutes. At 200 cpu, that's about 300 eggs worth. So to compete for a hunter's attention, we need them to collect 1200 eggs an hour. Actually, lately, I've been asking my tailors to do their own egg collecting, or at least to come with me collecting eggs. It is tedious, not fun at all, and it takes forever to collect enough for a small factory run. BUT, at least we can get them.

Remember when the only way to get milk was as a loot drop? And even now, the only way to get secret research data is, uh....uh... Oh, now I've forgotten.
