Can anyone help me out with this decision...? I'm wondering what are the best pet stims for the price. So like which pet stim (A,B,C) do you guys consider the best bang for the buck?
thanks

My current pricing scheme is 10cpu per heal point (rounded), regardless of quantity of heals per stim.
Example:
576 Stim A 32 uses - $5500 (sell these on bazaar only with wp to vendor for better stims)
736 Stim B 31 uses - $7000
1329 Stim D 29 uses - $13000
I *was* selling cheaper, when my best friend who is MCH told me I was on crack. His rationale was that one stim D enables him to do 30 solo janta missions at $32k payout each. With his only other cost being brandy (which is relatively cheap on Scylla), he said it was definitely worth 1/60 of his payout to buy a stim D at 13k.
(edit)
I forgot to mention - you need fish for the stim ds. Unless you like fishing or you find someone willing to fish for you, you're kind of SOL. The stim Cs require datH insect meat, which isn't really that hard to acquire, however it's hit or miss as to whether it's quality meat or not. So for best bang for your buck, I'd say Cs (my first run is coming out of factory tonight), since fish will most likely cost you up to ten times as much as the insect meat, and your profit will only increase marginally.
Don't forget to get a master doctor to make the appropriate components (read FAQ).

Hmm.. my last Stim Bs were 906 heals, but 23 uses. Maybe I should experiment the other line *grins*Regardless, I think the Bs are about the best bang for the money, but other people disagree with me.It's all down to what you prefer to use and how much damage you let the pet take before you drop a heal on it.
**edit**? Who one starred you? I mean, **edit** is in your post that is one star worthy? Oh well - I five starred you to compensate
Anyway, with regards to my Bs, I was using pretty low quality Fungus (was all I had handy). The other comps were high quality though. I'm sure I could hit higher, right now I'm just focusing on getting *something* on my vendor, quality will come when I've had time to whorde resources for a while (matching the high quality fungus with the high quality fiberplast).

My last batch was 817/36 b's. Ive been selling them for 60k a crate of 25 *shrug* They sell and no ones complained.
A couple notes on pet stims....
You can use advanced components in all stims, and it's worth it.
For best results have a doctor a) makea schematic for you or b) make the subs for you (as in order XXX number of combines from a doctor, I'm not suggesting asking one to do it for free) I have a doctor friend whom I buy all my sub components from for stims and vita pacs.
I believe (have not tested this out but have read it here) mollusks and crustations can be used for D's too in the *fish* spot. An alternative to fishing.

I noticed that NancyJ - but it doesn't bother me. I sit and grin thinking about sad 1-star bandits who have the idea that anyone actually cares about their ratings...
The day I care about anyone else's opinion of me, I'll definitely be on a bad trip

Not true. It takes fish.
