If u use bespin port, do u still need the ca experimentation points?

Yep. Bespin Port only increases your chances of getting amazing successes, but doesn't actualy give you any extra experimentation points.

Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime,
Therefore, we are saved by hope.
Nothing true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history;
Therefore, we are saved by faith.
Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone.
Therefore, we are saved by love.
No virtuous act is quite a virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or foe as from our own;
Therefore, we are saved by the final form of love which is forgiveness.

It says it adds to experimentation though.

It's like FS Experimentation, it only increases your change to get an Amazing Success on the experimentation. Not a bonus to the number of points you have.

Actually this is somewhat misleading... i have ran numerous tests on bespin... my results showed that it DIDN'T increase the chances of getting an Amazing Success at all. But it did, in fact, almost remove the chances of getting a failure on that craft (experiment). What I have seen almost consistently was that Bespin reduces risk of failure but does not produce greater products. One needs 3 Amazing successes to accomplish and extra point on a single stat type. This happens so rarely, and with the Bespin only effectly the failure rate, I find it almost mute to use it except for saving precious resource and crafting cycles. if you don't believe me, run 100 tests yourself and find out how many with of the 50 with bespin make amazing and how many of the 50 without make Amazing... the answer is they are equal. But check the failure rates, and you will almost never find a failure with bespin.

if bespin port gave you extra experimentation points then there would be a lot fewer masters and EXP tapes would not cost nearly as much as they do if they could be easily replaced by a drink.

i made my money from buffing for my 11point suit. then i crafted buff packs as an 11 point doc and sold them cheaper than the 12 points doc's till i had enough to buy the 12 point suit. I made no money from hunting or missions. it just takes time to do the way i did.

I've been crafting meds for 17 months and I can say that having the 12 points makes-in my opinion-a 5-8% difference in the final results of any regular med product that is experimented on more then one stat.

In components, the only item that is effected by 12 points is an ABEC-but you're making a major contibution to the final med by adding two experimentation hits to charges. Let's say you just increase the final charges on the customer's med by two....on a Stim-B that's a 5% increase in overall charges to the pack-not including the additional experimentation points you'll throw at the final combine because you've maxed the efffectiveness line.

This same logic applies on virtually every med an ABEC is used in which is...gee wiz...every med. If the competition on your server is such that a 5% difference doesn't make a difference, then whoop-de-do. But I've found those two extra points to be a significant competitive edge.
