Thread: Have they changed the chance of an 'Amazing' recently?
Hmm... any idea what sort of range that droid thing works over? Someone has recently dumped a house next to mine, but I wouldn't have thought it would reach that far, and even then, they can't be online, in the house, with a depowered droid ALL the time I'm getting these s****y rolls.
But, I have also been getting more crit fails too (5 today, which seems horribly high to me). Bah, I'm lost - don't know what's going on, but I had to settle for greats on the Brandy too, after 20-odd attempts, so something's definitely changed for me
Thanks for the suggestion, anyway. It conjures up all sort of industrial espionage possibilities, I'll be on the lookout for rivals strolling past with run-down droids from now on

Hah! I can see the CSR queue now... "so-and-so is griefing me with his crafting droid!!!"
Did you happen to have a droid out with a food/chem module, or were you around someone who did? And does it need power?
I've noticed that a droid's module seems to take precedence over a crafting station, and the success rate goes into the toilet when the droid runs out of power.
Well, it was definitely location-based, or an astonishing coincidence...
A friend suggested I try using his station (also +45.0) last night, so I took my stuff over, and bang - amazing first try 
So, there's me logging in today, thinking about moving my workshop... when I step outside and see a lovely, empty space where my new neighbour used to be!

Droid mods are neutral in crafting.... has no effect on the rolls, regardless of quality.
