Hi there!

INTRODUCTION

Clone inbreeding is that procedure in wich you "breed" a creature for a certain stat (Action, Mind, health etc etc), clone it, sample it and continue the circle. Theoretically is a fantastic idea and i was very excited by such possibilities. Imagine being able to get Gnort DNA and after 100th generation it has the Health of a Rancor! It would also reduce the very high risks associated with the profession somewhat. In theory.. in practice...... i'm disappointed so far by my results... as it do not work as i hoped.

Here my test data. I started from Domestic Tusk Cat DNA that had Dex 325 and end 506 (end is ALWAYS 500 for all critters i found so far... from gnort to plains hunter, anybody knows why?).

I made the clone template. Dex dropped to 115 and end to 318. i experimented all the way to top (40% and no more possible) and got 292 in dex and 516 in End.

I created the critter and sampled from it... obtaining (average dna) 253 dex and 558 end.

so -75 to dex and +50 to end.

I went on for second generation using this dna. At dna template creation it started from DEX 89 and END 364. After 40% experimentation (again max) Dex was 252 and End 549.

Made the critter and sampled. Again average result. Dex was now 213 and End 637. -40 in DEX but +80 in END

I'm seeing a trend here?

I went on for third generation and i think i went into a bug bug.

Start is 213 as DEX and 637 as END. in the DNA Template DEX goes down to 23 and END to 393. During experimentation the % stopped at 28 and never rised again even if i got a good success and a great success afterward (3 tries). (also the stats did not changed). so i got after Experimentation 94 of DEX and 472 of END.

After sampling i'm looking at a 81 DEX and a 505 END.. sigh. it is MUCH worse than my initial and DEX always went down...

I'll make more tests on other Stats... i am a 3-2-3-3 Bio eng with 5 experimentation points

Summarization of Experiment:

1) Experimentation "bug" is bad and can ruinchains of dna inbreeding. This should be solved ASAP.

2)I Tried to Experiment on all Stats but DEX and END are rised only by prowess

3) Dex rises much less than endurance and it was impossible with this dna to get a better DEX result than the original. the more the generation the higher the endurance but the lower the dexterity. Granted the Second Generation DNA had more points than the original wild (original had 831, 2nd gen has 848) still DEX was -112.

4) ALL creatures i found have END 500 and Courage 500. Dependability it is either 750 or 1000 depending on the critter. (Plains hunter, all spineflaps, crazed durni have 1000, all rest that i sampled so far (most species of Rori and Naboo)have 750)

Questions: 1) did you also got similar test results? I suppose not as Tal-N told he was making successes in such a venture.

2) What is the matter with DEX always going down and END going way up? I experimented 40%.. that is not enough to get same DNA as the one i used? I could not have experimented more in any case.. not even a master could

3) Does you noticed the That OTHER positions of DNA affects the Stats. Meaning.. i used Domestic Tusk Cat dna in Prowness and crappy Misc dna in all others (i wanted prowness and did not care a bit about all rest). Did you notice if DEX and END are influenced also by DNA you put in other position but the PROWNESS Slot?

Ok.. this is all for the moment..Bye!
