I recently made a test center frog toon and was suprised to find out that i really like BE better then any other proffesion and after reading these forums i discovered th BE communtiy is frienldy and helpful. So if any of you can help me especially zaddok and the leaders of the community it would welcomed.
First question is about generational cloning what exactly is it i mean what are its advantages and what is it used for it seems to be for making low level pets with uber stats but i still don't understand how to do it and correct me if that is wrong. Second is i go out and sample many things dant and endor seem to be good what are some prime tagets and good combos such as a high end tank what should i use for that stuff like that. Third is about armor i have sampled creatures with light armor and made that dna template out of the exact same thing and the resist are good but the armor rating is always none thats a big one for me. Fourth is the attack thing say i have 5 diffrent kinds of samples 1 that is DIZZY/BLINDING STRIKE 2 are POISON SPRAY/STRONG POISON 1 is KD/CRIPPLING STRIKE and the last one is BLINDING STRIKE/KNOCKDOWN how would i get knockdown and dizzy to stick with those 5 SA samples what slot would everything go in.
And LAST but most importantly thanks for reading and an even bigger thanks if u have some anwsers!!

Theres a lot to answer there, and most of it can be found in the FAQ...
1. The principle behind a multi gen pet is to get rid of uneccesary features to allow for higher stats in desired areas. This would then allow a lower CL pet to have aspects of a higher level creature, balanced by weaknesses in other areas.
I'm not sure if you've done basic genetics but as organisms reproduce, its genes get passed onto to the next generation. This is case here. When you sample one of your creations, it allows you to use that DNA like it was any other wild creature. This gives you MUCH more control over the final product as you can gradually increase or decrease the numbers by adding in stronger/weaker wild animals.
2.Go to every planet out there and sample. theres a'gem' on evey oneYou can use www.swgcreatures.com to check out creatures before you go.
There are many planets out there and each have some great animals for you to sample. Remember, it's not always the high level animals that are the best. Some particular low level creatures on Corellia are priceless.
3. Experiment so that the Fortitude to above 500, and armor should magically appear.
What he said ^^
4. Put the Special 1 in the 4th slot, and Special 2 in the 5th slot. This works 9/10 times. Also I find that having High Qual or above in 4 & 5 helpsAnd if poss a VHighQual in the 3rd.
What he said ^^
Samples you can never have enough of are Mutant Rancor, Merek Harcester and Bark Mite Burrorer Queen.
Keep in mind animals that have a high number of vulnerabilities. Vulnerabilities are a great way of keeping the CL as low as possible.

I would check out each galaxies' registered BE list and see which galaxy is in need of one. That way you can be sure to get all the business you want and be sure that you're products aren't going to be undervalued. Of course, this means that you may end up joining a somewhat empty galaxy. It's up to you.
