Thread: Skill Enhancement for DE's
I am looking for them of course. Is there any place in particular to look for these?
Also, I see posts about Bio-Engineer improvements in clothing for crafting. Have you seen any that we can use as DE's?
If yes, what do we need to provide a BE with to make them for us?
And since most of us are Master Artisans as it is can BE's make something to improve our crafting skills as well?
Thank you in advance.
Sorry, BE's can't help us. (It doesn't really make sense on why they could). Most of their tissues enhance only things like Cover, Healing, Defense vs Melee/stun and the like.
That being said, I think you missed one guy on the Gorath boards a couple weeks ago selling a "Droid Assembly +5"skill tape. I picked it up before you started inquiring about skill tapes. In my wanderings I've seen a couple "Droid Experimentation +1" 's around ....and I bought one about 2 months ago thinking it would help (little did I know you need at least+10 to get a experiment point).

I was going to ask the same question about Droid Assembly. What does it neccesarily help with?

Assembly, as I understand it, increases the base effectiveness of the component on initial build.
Example: Let's say I'm building a Adv. Droid Frame (since we all know we build a lot of those). Without my +5 to Assembly tape applied, and using good materials lets say I get a 15%base experimental effectiveness. With my +5Assembly tape applied, I'vefound it increased up to 18% and critical failures have reduced.
Currently I have a even 40 pts. of DroidAssembly(+35 from Master Blueprints; +5 from the Skill tape ) ...and once I get masterI shouldend up witha +60 to Assembly....yay.

I think that the skill tapes just improve our chances to build, customize,experiment, etcon droids. While what someone above stated, it takes +10 for a customize or an experimentation bonus to add anything visual, but I do think that the +2 to experimentation isn't a total loss. It may increase my ability to experiment with my one point as far as success rates and all. Maybe someday it will add up to another +10 if I can get a hold of some more and give me another point.

I have a complexity +1 or 2, and I see no difference whatsoever. I think it's because you need at least 5-10 in any skill for a change.

I can't wait until the +5 and +10 tapes are available. Just imagine the price on those things. +10 Droid Assembly tape = about 5.6 million credits, and the promise of the first droid made using the tape.
What a wonderful, generous world we live in.
