Wow that Doc FAQS really helped but I have one question about it since it didnt list this dilemna.

The fAQS say to put as many charges on your biological effect controller since it affects the quantity of the buffpacks being crafted.

Does that affect the power of the entire buffpack? Is it better to just get the best effectiveness of the buffpacks rather than worry about the quantity of how many are crafted?

Oh and....

How many charges will I get if I just concentrate on the effectiveness of the buffpacks? If its a difference of 5-10 then I dont think its a big deal, but if its a difference of like 10-15 then it would really be disappointing.

here is an example, assume all other ingredients remain the same:

If you use an ABEC with 20charges/10poweryour Buff might come out 850power, 30charges

If you use an ABEC with 10charges/20power your Buff might come out 860power, 20charges

Which would you rather have?

Oohhh.I'm so glad I read here now and then. I'm a Master Doc with 880 packs but I'd gladly trade 10 points in for 10 more charges.

Ahhhh, wow that sux, I didnt think the ratio would be the same like that.

20 power/10 charge = 860/20 charges
10 power/20 charges = 850/30 charges

Of course the one with more charges is preferable but I didnt think the power would only differ by 10. If I knew the power would go over 1K if I just concentrated on the effectiveness then I would choose the first option. Thanx for the tip, this was a great example.
