All,

I certainly hope this isn't some hidden part of "The Fix," but last night I was sampling from wild creatures, CL 40 and up, on Dath and Endor, getting HQ and VHQ samples from 4 out of 5 attempts (average, actually did close to 30 samples). This morning, as I guess-n-cloned my way to a CL35 pet, I noticed two things when I recycled the clones that were either too high or too low. Thing 1, they all died after two or three successful cloning attempts, as opposed to 5 or six attempts a day ago (I'm a MBE, by the way). Thing 2, out of 10 successful samples (a LOT of failures, which I thought was odd, especially since the clones were between CL 35 and 45), 2 were HQ and the rest were above average. Have I just hit an odd bit of luck, or are other people seeing fewer successes/earlier death of clones from sampling/lower sample qualities when sampling from your own clones?
