hi there.

i am very new to this game but do have a slight idea of things within the game.

i have decided that i want to master BE along with some of Commando. i am currently doing missions to raise money to buy harvesters in preperation for BE.

All i would like to know is what type of harvesters will i be needing, if you know any good places i could get hold of some decent harvesters and what type of stuff i should look to harvest for the best stims. any other info would be greatly appriciated! p.s. im on eclipes server!

thank you!!!

You'll need a lotMeat, so train Scout so you can harvest kills. Save all the meat you get (your going to need lots).

You'll also need Flora (lots), so a good harvester will come in handy, as will a Wind Harvester (I sell excess Wind Energy if I get too much).

A Chemical Harvester can come in handy, but you can probably buy whatever Fibreplast you need.

A Water harvestor (evaporator?) is handy if you want to make pet stims.

Easiest (and probably cheapest) way to grind upis to get a gazzilion units of meat, a gazzilion units of flora and make some macros to do "Micronutrient Supplement", though the only way to get DNA Sampling up is to DNA Sample (I did it on Sharnaff/Bulls from Coronet which you get 300+ sampling xp from).

Look for a sticky thread called "Holocron Bio-Engineers: All you need to know for your grind". Has a lot of handy BE info on this subject...

If you want to craft special tissues you'll need specific types of meat and flora but for grinding you can use any flora and meat you want to use.

I'd recommend setting aside anything with a high OQ, PE, and flavor combination. Those stats are used to craft high end tissues. Use low grade meat and flora to grind micronutrient. Make sure to craft in practice mode. You get more xp and you won't fill up your inventory.

I would also suggest checking how many skill points this will take. MBE takes a lot. I'm MBE and Mpike and I have 35 points left beyond that. 14 of which are tied up in exploration (4bars) which is almost necessary to be a good BE, mask scent vital for getting good sampels and terain negotiation helps a lot too. to get novice commando you will need to use 112 points, forMaster BE you will need 127 (not counting any for exploration) so you will have11 points left, which is just enough for 2 bars of flame thrower or any other skill.

If you want to have a combat profession besides BE I would sugest one of the straight professions, rifle, pistol, carbine, or any of the meele ones. That way you will have enough points to pick up exploration and have about 21 left over if you want some CH or medic.
