Q-5.3: How do I make a good crafting station? How do I get above 14.xx rating?
A-5.3: To make a crafting station with a high functional rating in the 40's you need to use all the optional components and everything has to be highly experimented with high quality materials. Currently crafting stations use artisan experimentation rather than architect experimentation so you need to have all the artisan experimentation points to get a max rating. The crafting station itself should use 400 of very high conductivity metal (usually copper has high cond.) say around 990 or better. The other 50 units of mineral can be an ore which does not have conductivity and therefore does not count in the formula. All the control unit and micro sensor suite parts use high overall quality and it should be as high as you can get. The droid storage components have to be made by a droid engineer and highly experimented using material with high OQ and conductivity. The control units and micro sensors are master artisan items. So you'll either need to find master artisan and master DE suppliers or attain those skills yourself.
