Hello fellow DE's,
Allow me to introduce myself: Arthurdent, Bria galaxy, former bio-engineer correspondent, brand newdroid engineer(admittedly re-spec, don't hate me for it :smileyvery-happy
.
. I've been playing since launch, and my original intent WAY back when, was to become a DE. Somehow I got sidetracked (/shrug) not even sure how that happened. Perhaps it was becausetwo of my earliest in-game friends were DE's and the prospect of competing with themdidn't sit well with me, or perhaps it was because the first advanced crafting profession that I qualified for I just couldn't pass up (heh, noobs, what can you say?), or perhaps it was because I found other professions that I got caught up in, and never let go of. But for whatever reason, I got side-tracked but now I've finally come full circle and I getting very serious about becoming the best DE that I can. I have no illusions about DE being glorious, or uber, and I'm well aware of all the broken stuff, but I'm extremely stubborn and once I set out to do something, come hell or high water, I'll see it through to the end.
Anyhow, I've been lurking for a while, have been preparing for this for a month or more (collecting resources, adjusting my skills, and so forth), and have printed out and read the FAQ (it's not on my desk at home, right by my computer so it's handy). I realize that although the tag says master, I'm little more than a noob (and I won't embarass myself by wearing the taguntil I know what the heck I'm doing). But I still have a couple of questions that I'm hoping you good folks can answer a question or two for me:
1) Can someone help me sort out one of my main confusions right now, and that is: when does quality matter, and when does it not matter in DE products? For example, realizing how many things use GP modules and memory modules, those are two of the first things I am stocking up on. There is experimentation on those, but no measure of "quality" is displayed anywhere that I can see on the finished product. What is the scoup there?
2) More on droid quality: which products in DE are particularly quality sensitive? I'm thinking combat modules and harvesting modules (and armor modules if those worked). Are there others?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome, new DE 
Quality matters on:
Combat Mods, Harvesting Mods, Stimpack dispenser Mods, Detonation Mods, armor, maintenance,data, inventory & medical Mods, the Effectiveness experimentation on the finished deed and the droid recon & repair kitsn' parts
Quality does not matter on any other thing (if i didnt miss one ^^). Experimenting on EGPs and EMMs will only make the factory run longer, due to the higher complexity
Dont bother with experimenting on lvl 6 armor, med data &inventory mods, as these arealready at the max
Especially experiment on combat mods, det mods &harvest mods.

Bit more specific... For any of the "level modules" (medical, item/data storage, maintenance, armor) quality only matters in that you can bump up a lower level module to a higher level. If you are already using level 6 armor for example, experimenting on it won't help you. Any subcomponents of things not listed quality doesn't matter. The "Droid Storage Compartments" matter only when used by architects in crafting stations, and do not matter in customization kits.
