Ok first of all, Taking Cover +4 was listed second on the examine window (how do I know that, because they are listed alphabetically not by value of stat mod), so you needed a Taking Cover +4 placed first not a Taking Cover +1.
Same again with the Artisan Assembly +1 is listed first on the second tape not Counter Attack +2.

. Anyone else have this weird glitch?has anyone personally did a tie and got the 2nd listed when it was alphabetically first?
Not only do enhancements of the same type not stack (+3 armorsmith experimentation and +5 armosmith experimentation) but even *similar* enhancements won't stack.
Several months ago I dropped a +1 droid experimentation tape into a pair of boots I had. Later I got a +1 droid complexity tape and dropped it into the same boots. What happened was the +1 droid experimentation dissapeared, leaving just the +1 droid complexity, and showing that I still had 3 free slots. Of course I thought this was some sort of bug so I put in a ticket on the problem.
Eventually CSR-PrestonB got back to me and explained that this was howthe skill tapeswere supposed to work. He said they were intended not to stack, which is why the new one canceled out the first one I had in the boots. But Ipointed outthey WERE NOT the same mods - one was experimentation and the other was customization. He said it didn't matter - they were both droid crafting mods. He said this was the way it was designed so that people could not easily create "uber items" by stacking skill enhancements in them. He said that for instance you couldn't stack a carbine aiming enhancement in the same item you have a carbine speed enhancement in.
Of course I was not happy about this, and asked why we couldn't be told of these rules ahead of time - before people started wasting skill mods that they wanted to keep. I could have easily put that enhancement in a different piece of clothing if I had only known the rules. (Ok, in this case they were really low mods, but it's the principle of the thing.) He didn't really have an answer to my question, which didn't surprise me. I guessthey just intended us to figure this stuff out through trial and error!
Im still looking for some first hand info on the Tie rules
Can anyone help?

That is really good to know! I have several architect complexity tapes in particular, hmmmm.

Bio Engineered Tissue made, gives +13 Wound treetment and +13 Injury treetment onboth clothings (Total of +26 Injury treetment and +26 Wound treetment).. I wonder, are they both i effect? or do I need one different cloths with only one Mod?, (Like pants with +25 Injury treetment and Jacket with +25 Wound treetment).and btw, Ive putted a Medicine assembly +1 in the Jacket, will that tape work? (there is only one tape on it)Thanks on forehand.
Since those are different items of clothing yes they should work, but since it has been stated that the maximum bonus from stat mods is +25, you will be capped at an effective bonus of +25 Injury Treatment and +25 Wound Treatment. The Medicine assembly should work fine also.
