I think you don't make pets, or at least are not a MBE and don't fully understand the importance of the "Quality" of DNA.

I am starting to think instead of blood samples, why not just make it so DNA is a loot drop, if it doesn't really matter what quality or what animal, why waste are time with BE, they should just disband the profession and make LOOT KITS! Yeah, so instead of burning all these skill points I could just pick up DNA off Jawas while looking for parts to my rug! I can make a rug, I can make a Razor Cat, I can make a CL11 Naboo Statue it would be sweet.

Blood SAMPLES must have identical Stats to the DNA sample we would pull, they should be sampled as pet deeds are sampled. We would have a shot at getting multiple DNA tid bits from each sample or uno, stackable would be nice but unnecessary, but it has to be down to penny as far as info or it will be point free to make pets. I understand there are concerns about identical DNA and some would be concerned about pet-o-matic factories. I personally think that would be great, but if we don't like it "on the whole", then we as a community could ask that they not be able to be used in factories.

In closing I would like to say that if preperations A-G fail we should press on, you never know, the next one could be the one. But agian, we as community would have to agree together as one voice whether or not it feels good "on the Whole."

Ok its true in not a MBE but i do understand the point of quality however i believe that u dont understand my point. Quality does matter. My point is you will sample a durni that gives you for example 12 DNA samples there quality is extacley the same when you sampled it again u get a DIFFERENT quality DNA sample and maybe 5 of them. In essece it will be like sampling now instead of get one DNA sample each time ull get more that have stacked. I now this will mean u will have several samples of the same quality and i know some ppl wont like this however you will still need to sample around to get better quality. Plus this is only a idea to combat the problem of storage. Tell me what you think

Somehow I skipped to page 5 I need to read some more before I post

This blood sample wouldNOT havevarious qualitiesand would take up 1 inventory space. They would appear with identical stats asa crafted pet deed.

The BE would then be able to 'Sample DNA' from the blood sample just like we do withclone deeds.

The quality of the DNA sample retrieved would be random based on skill (like it is now)

We can now get a number of blood samples, store them in our houses, and then extract DNA as we need it, instead of having to get a large number of DNA samples that we have to store.

The blood samples would be named from the creature it was obtained from (ex. High Quality Mutant Rancor Blood Sample)

Like the pet deeds, we can't DNA sample the blood indefinately. We'd only be able to get afewDNA samples from each blood sample.

There would be an increased chance of agro and creature death when getting the blood sample. This will provide the increased risk to go with the increased reward of having a single successful blood sample yeild multiple DNA samples

The stats we get with each sample wouldrandom, the same as if we were sampling the creature directly.
