Thread: Does Subcomponent quality matter?

I read somewhere that the quality of the liquid suspensions, etc. doesn't matter in the final product. Is this true? Can I use cheap resources on the components and use my good components in the final combination and still get a good product?
Thank you.

The difference between two subcomponents is 1:1 with the difference in the end product using those components.
Example:
You use an ALS with 150p and make a Stim B with 370p... use all the same ingrediants, but this time an ALS with 180p, the Stim B will have 400p. There is a small margin of error there, I believe this is due to the fact that while we only see "150 Power", it is actually measured 1 or 2 decimal places out, like "150.8 Power".
So yes, sub component quality does matter, but not as much as some people think. You should always strive to make the best of everything that you need regardless.

The quality of the CRDM andLiquid Suspension in state cures don't matter though. 
Just get a high charge BEC/ABEC and have high OQ & UT for the organic and inorganic portions for the maximum number of charges.

Ok, that begs another question. On ABEC/BEC, is it more important to have better charges or better power?

Charges. Remeber that these are adding in at a 1 to 1 ratio.
So on a Stim B, the trade-off between charges to power (1 experiment point dedicate to charges vs dedicated to power) might be 1 charge for 10 power. On the ABEC, the trade-off is only1 charge for 1.25 power.
So get all the charges you can out of the ABEC where the power trade-off is small and get all your power out of the other subcomponents and the final assembly.

So the power is affected more by the final assembley than the subcomponents?

Oh yes, most definitly. Like myself and someone else said, component differences are 1:1 in the final product. Think about it like something like a krayt tissue. You have some +70 damage tissues, they add +70 damage to the final product. The same goes for med subs, but the subs are, of course, mandatory. When you experiment on a completed med, you are experimenting on the base value of the final assembly, which is before any sub components are added to it's values.

The biggest difference they make is in buff packs. W/O maxing out the packs, you won't even be in the same ballpark as other docs using the adv components.
For stims, I just use 1 adv component and it boosts it well enough for a minimal amount of work. At low ends, adv components make a huge difference, esp if you are making meds for a novice medic.
