Bio Engineer Archive

Hey all, I am slowly making my way up the bioengineer tree. I'm going through DNA sampling first and combining the samples into creatures so I can practice getting the results that I want. Trouble is that even with the stickeys up top I still can't get special attacks figured out. The help stuff up top says that the special attack 1 that you want goes into aggression and special attack 2 you want goes into psychology. Fine, that would make sense if I could get it to work... ever.

I am really just playing around and not seriously trying to make some uber nasty kill em all creature, but I would like to figure out how this works. I was using Giant Angler DNA in the psychology slot since strong poison is it's secondary attack. I used Kliknik defender DNA in most of the other slots and had a kilknik queen DNA in the physique. No strong poison. Then I figured, well, maybe I copied down the notes wrong and reversed the position of the Giant Angler DNA to Aggression. Again, no poison. Then I put Giant Angler DNA in both the aggression ans psychology slots and again, no poison. All the DNA for the Anglers was average or above average and the rest was all average. Now, the only thing I can figure is that because the DNA wasn't high or very high quality that maybe that is the reason why I can't get the transfer to work right. Other than that, my only other guess is that maybe because the kliknik queen is a higher CL than the giant angler that maybe this is the reason for the interference.

I also moved to Endor and used venom soaked arachne and bolle bol DNA in combination. I did the same experiment and got absolutely no special attacks when the arachne DNA was in the aggression slot only (strong poison is a special 1 for the arachne), and a stunning strike secondary and no primary special when the arachne was in the psychology and when I put it in the psychology and aggression slots. So is it just because I am only a 1131 BE that I can't get this to work at all or is it some other matter?

That's the reason right there. The chances of getting the specials to 'stick' improve greatly with HQ and VHQ DNA.

If you use HQ or VHQ dna, both special attacks come from the aggression slot. If you use lower quality dna or the aggression slot is missing a special, there's a chance it'll look in another slot for 1 of the specials, but most of the time you end up with missing specials.
