I am using a 14.2 crafting tool and a 42.4 crafting station....
I was trying to make some biological effect controllers last night and I kept getting great successes, I got 2 of them, then a moderate failure, then i got 30 great successes in a row before giving up in frustration i figured I was bugged or something... just seemed wrong that I got that many in a row..
Anyway i'm curious what sort of success rates other people get..

After the latest patch i don't get too many amazing successes anymore. I get plenty of great successes when using nice resources though.

Not doc anymore, but seems that when I DID get amazing successes, I would get a crit failure on the same component on my next experiment

One amazing success for every 100 experiments sounds about right for me..

Great success = 7% increase, Amazing = 8%, the 1% isnt too huge.. but critical failures suck
I usualy get amazing successes more often on easier/lower complex items.

I've noticed that amazing success have been much fewer than before and unfortunately critical failures have increased slightly.

I haven't crafted much since the latest patch, but generally speaking I would estimate I get an amazing success about 1/10 as many times as I get a critical failure.

Since i deal in components EXCLUSIVELY i dont sell anything that is not an amazing success so i can freely assureyou its like 1 amazing withing the first 20 or 30 tries AFTER that takes around 80 to 120 tries to get another one, so when u get the first u better get it right, this seems to me like the server has an "amazing time frame" if you build the item withing that time fram you get an amazing but that timeframe is also a minefield of criticals, so your best bet to get an amazing and not get a critical right after which is usually 400% of the time is to get an amazing then wait a few seconds like 6 or 9 and then hit experient agian you will not get another fail after that

I use 14.49 tools and a med droid (no idea on the station effectiveness), and get an amazing once in a while, so I never count on it. Personally, anything that isn't a Great Success all the way through experimentation is a practice.

What I typically do is use a certain number, 5-10 crafts, on each item I will make a lot of and try to get an amazing. I make a schem on each higher level through those ten. In this way I almost always get an all "greats" but occassionally get an amazing.

i use my +14 tool...and both public and private station..i still get 10-20greats with 4-5 amazing results...and sometimes i get 4-9 critical fails..last night i was making 5 stim C's....got 4 criticals on components..and when i got to making the actual stim...3 critcal failed upon experimentation..the other 2 failed on assemble..i was soo mad i hit my 2 liter bottle of DEW across the room..good thing cap was on..but bad part DEW goes flat very easily..'
I've even had 3-4 criticals while experimenting using 3 points at 0% go figure and amazing successes on using all 6points at 38% chanceexperiment

I get an amazing about once every 25 experimentations, while I can get a crit failure about 1 in 8.
Something is wrong with this scenario if you ask me.
