I can't say enough to the new BE's and possibly some of the old BE's, how important it is to do your crafting in a Research city. I would also like to add that if you do any DNA sampling of pet deeds....do this in a research city as well. I was gettin' rotten samples, mostly AAQ and HQfrom a couple of pet deeds on Endor.
You know how it is......you are waiting on the shuttle, no one else is around to chat with, you have all the DNA you need to make a certain combine andyou are chomping at the bit a little,so you whip outthe droid and tool deciding to putit together to see what it turns out and "OMFG"#$%^^&!!!!!!" CRIT FAIL!!!!!!
I said to myself, "Wow! This is lousy!" I think I will try my luck in in the Riverlands (Tempest Server). Sure enough, I started getting all VHQ's and HQ's and my combines were exactly what I was expecting.
I have been away from SWG for some time now and I am glad I remembered how crucial this elementis to a crafter's success rate. Just is just a little reminder for everyone and a new ditti for the new BE's.

For those taking them, FS bonuses do not stack with City bonuses of the same type. I do not know if they are overriden like a med center does with droids. Keep it in mind if you want to purchase a line and do all your work in a city.

Maybe I'm bugged, wierder things have happened.
When we changed our city to a research center I started getting crit fails and fails when making templates. It annoyed the heck out of me cause our city is on Lok and most of my samples come from someplace else. So now I use my old rust bucket droid for making templates. Very rarely do I get a crit fail or a fail using the droid outside town. This same (very strange thing) happens when I make tissues too. The only two conclusions I can come up with is that A) I'm bugged (likely) or B) There's a limits issue in the crafting system. The limits issue <*MIGHT*> go something like this.
Once the total crafting bonus goes over a certain threshold the chance for amazing successes goes up but the chance of crit fails and fails goes up as well.
So a situation like this might very well put you over the threshold (like me):
Tool +15
Crafting Station +45.xxx
City Research +x (I don't remember the bonus off hand)
This doesn't quite make sense even to me as some of my other success/fail rate data doesn't support this model. For example the tool quality seems not to matter at all in my other data.
In the field I almost never get an amazing success, but then again I almost never get a crit failure either i.e. something like 1 in 60. In town it's something close to 1 in 20. This applies to tissues and templates, but I generally ignore the tissue fails.
Anyone else have this problem?
(hmmmmm this could be the first time I've asked a question here)
