Thread: Hi, new DE for fun here. Need some advice on the effects from experimenting and quality.

Now, from reading around, PRESUMEABLY (<-----for all those "no-proof" people) alot of the DE components aren't affected by quality.


Can someone:


1.Embelish on that subject what they can. What certain types aren't affected etc....


2. Perhaps do me and anyone else who may be wondering a favor and makea bullet-list type list of the things that quality don't matter?...Or perhaps if circumstances are such, the certain trees thatall available schematics don't require quality control?


It is slightly annoying running around trying to not only find specific resources, but also, quality specific resources.


Thanks in advance.

Please read the stickies at the top of DE forum, or search for "experimentation" in this forum using the handy search feature at the bottom of the page.


Thereis actually at least one thread on page one about this already.


It is a very complicated topic and most people who have the correct answers get really tired of repeating the same information over and over again so it's just best to read what has already been written on the topic.

To make is short, let's put the list on what everybody agree experimentation does matter :

- Combat module
- Harvesting module
- detonation module (from my experience, gas stats is more important than metal, but that's just me)
- Stimpack dispencer module
- Auto-repair module

- Droid repair/reconstruction kit and sub-component
- survey droid (not sure)
- Final deed (for HAM)
- Structure maintenance (not sure but if it work as intended, don't bother and if it's bugged wait for the fix)
- Customization kit (charge number)

That's pretty much it for what's sure.

Missing from the above List:


Trapping module


Lvl6 Item Storage, Data, Medical, and Armor also require a minimum rating to give their max bonus. If your materials are not the best, experiment these modules up.


I can't tell you what those minimums are, since I always experiment, and never fall below them. Simple truth is, it doesn't cost you anything to experiment, except a few seconds, so why not do it. As for acquiring named resource, I always try to make sure I have all of it in stock since the big advantage of the high end components is maximum benefit in minimum space.

Should Sony and Lucas Arts be worried? (15000 users * 5 accts = ~$13MIL in potential lost gross annual revenue) If I were the CEO for either LA or SOE, I would certainly be worried.

From my experience, the survey droids have more charges based on resource quality/exper. Also the structure maintenance mods need at least decent resources or experimentation to reach the cap for a level 3 mod.

Thanks guys, im sorry I missed them. I did my best to do research before asking but I didn't think to search for 'experimentation', thank you for pointing it out.


This is really helpful to me, that list is pretty much exactly what I was looking for. /bow4. Thanks for your support. Will look forward to making some decent droids one day .


Yes Padila it WAS YOU!!! .

PS: I used to have an english teacher named Mrs. Padila.......we used to call her Mrs. PaDildo...........she didn't like that
