Business can be good depending on the demand / supply situation on your server.
You do not *need* any tapes. You can make good harvs without them.
From the FAQ:
Q-0.6: How much is this +X Structure Complexity tape worth? What does Structure Complexity do?
A-0.6: Currently there is no known benefit to Structure Complexity and it has been that way since game launch. Structure complexity skill enhancement attachments have little value. It is possible that they may have a value in the future or that their value is just not known presently. SOE has not commented to the best of my (Pawlin) knowledge. I've tested and verified that structure complexity has no effect on the items available without a station or at a public station. I've tested and verified that structure complexity does not effect the time it takes to finish factory items or the increase in complexity level of items from experimenting.
Q-0.7: How much is a +x Structure Assembly tape worth? What does it do?
A-0.7: The value of structure assembly tapes will vary a lot from server to server. These tapes do have value but it will depend primarily on the supply and demand situation for your server. The structure assembly skill increases the chance of better success results during experimentation. This will mean a higher rate of success getting maximum BER on harvesters. I've verified this myself (Pawlin). It will not increase the BER above the maximums.
Q-0.8: How much is a +x Structure Experimentation tape worth? What does it do?
A-0.8: The value of structure experimentation tapes will vary a lot from server to server. These tapes do have value but it will depend primarily on the supply and demand situation for your server. Generally speaking the value of structure experimentation tapes is a lot less than some other crafting experimentation tapes like Weaponsmith, Chef, etc. The structure experimentation skill increases the amount of experimentation points you have to use during experimentation. You get 1 more experimentation point for every 10 additional skill points. So +10 in tapes will give you 1 point and +20 will give you 2 points. Going over 20 will not increase your experimentation over the 2 points. The effect of additional experimentation points is to get larger hopper sizes on harvesters or recover from less than great initial experimentation. It will not increase the BER above the maximums.
