A **edit**load. Something in the vicinity of 400k steel and 200k fiberplast.

As a new DE I am trying to find out the specifics for module ratings and mechanism quality. what effect does the negative number have, etc...?


Thanks

Depend of the module.

Most of the time Mechanism quality does nothing.
I've heard that on the final droid, it can make the droid recover faster from damage, but never checked as people buy based on HAM and nothing else.

There is no known direct correlation between Mechanism Quality and any function of the game. The best theory we have right now is that the better your parts are, the lower your chance at failure in the final assemblies. No hard evidence to back that up, but its a sound idea, and its what I operate under.



If something your are making has a listed rating for something else, you are best to improve that as much as you can. The FAQs in our sticky posts have excellent info about the older modules, and how to use and stack them for best effect.

I would say the opposite is true, because as the quality goes up, the complexity goes up, the higher the complexity, the more likely it will fail. Also the higher the complexity, the longer it takes to be made/manufactured.

I just got an order from a player for some composite segments for droids. my question is, what is the best way to do these? does base and protection matter or should i do it unlayered? I'm not a DE, so i have no idea.

Quality does not matter in any way, so simply make the cheapes solution aviable.

And make sure to explain this to the customer. Some DE's may not know that quality doesn't matter for these things.
