Edit: there was a mistake in the last two tests - I marked them as ungrouped when they were actually grouped.

Here are my raw numbers from harvesting today. Check them against yours to make sure I recorded correctly? After I figure out how to do math I'll try to work the percentages and figure out the gap between harvest levels ect. Unless someone beats me to it. Once I get the percentages figured I will post on the Testing thread. I'd love to meet up again laer when TC-G comes back up, anyone who is free!

For info: Testing was on Endor. Kimi and I started with Kimi at MRanger and Vorpaks at MScout. Both were MRifles using T21 and buffed no armor. Later Liart joined with Ranger 0040 and Vorpaks dropped to Scout hunting IV. Here is the data (ung, ugr = ungrouped; gr = grouped):

We did some manic testing on the out of range thing before the server poofed, but I didnt get any of the numbers recorded. It seemed to be working.

Disturbing to see a number of times that a 0040 Ranger out harvested a Master Ranger.

Definitely - a Ranger 0040 will consistently outharvest a Master Ranger under this new system.

I haven't figured out what all this means yet, and there are more combos I'd like to try obviously, but I thought I would throw it out there in raw form for anyone to use/check if they like. I already sent a PM to Doc/Obata asking him to check my math. /hug Assume a +/- 1% margain for error.

Harvesting percentage gaps ungrouped:
A MRanger (ungrouped) harvests 38% more than a Scout0040 (ungrouped)
A MRanger (ungrouped) harvests 34% more than a MScout (ungrouped)
A MRanger (ungrouped) harvests 6% more than a Ranger0040 (ungrouped)
A Ranger0040 (ungroped) harvests 30% more than a Scout0040 (ungrouped)
A Ranger0040 (ungrouped) harvests (not yet tested) more than a Master Scout (ungrouped)
A Master Scout(ungrouped) harvests (not yet tested) more than a Scout0040 (ungrouped)

Harvesting percentage gaps grouped:
MRanger vs. All:
MRanger (+20%) + Scout0040 (+40%) grouped
not yet tested

MRanger (+20%) + MScout (+40%) grouped
MRanger harvests 16% more than MScout

MRanger (+30%) + Ranger0040 (+40%) grouped
Ranger0040 harvests 1.5% more than MRanger

Ranger0040 vs. All:
Ranger0040 (+20%) + Scout0040 (+30%) grouped
Ranger0040 harvests 21% more than the Scout0040

Ranger0040 (+20%) + MScout (+30%) grouped
Ranger0040 harvests (not yet tested) more than the MScout

Ranger0040 (+40%) + MRanger (+30%) grouped
Ranger0040 harvests 1.5% more than MRanger

All together now:
MRanger (+30%) + Ranger0040 (+40%) + Scout0040 (+40%) grouped
MRanger harvests 30% more than Scout0040
Ranger0040 harvests 31% more than Scout0040
Ranger0040 harvests 1.5% more than MRanger

Harvesting percentage gaps Grouped vs. Ungrouped:
Mranger + MRanger grouped
MRanger (grouped) harvests (not yet tested - assume 40%) more than MRanger (ungrouped)

MRanger + Ranger0040 grouped
MRanger grouped harvests (not yet tested - assume 30%) more than MRanger (ungrouped)

MRanger + non-Ranger grouped
MRanger (grouped) harvests 20% more than MRanger (ungrouped)

Ranger0040 + Mranger grouped
Ranger0040 (grouped) harvests (not yet tested - assume 40%) more than Ranger0040 (ungrouped)

Ranger0040 + Ranger0040 grouped
Ranger0040 (grouped) harvests (not yet tested - assume 30%) more than Ranger0040 (ungrouped)

Ranger0040 + non-Ranger grouped
Ranger0040 (grouped) harvests (not yet tested - assume 20%) more than Ranger0040 (ungrouped)

Scout0040 (grouped) harvests (not yet tested - assume 40%) more than Scout0040 (ungrouped)

Scout0040 + Ranger0040 (grouped)
Scout0040 (grouped) harvests (not yet tested - assume 30%) more than Scout0040 (ungrouped)

Scout0040 + non-Ranger (grouped)
Scout0040 (grouped) harvests (not yet tested - assume 20%) more than Scout0040 (ungrouped)

Tests to perform:
Grouped vs. ungrouped all on same creature with all combos except MRanger + non-Ranger (just to be sure)
Master Ranger + Scout0040 grouped
Ranger0040 + MScout grouped
Nranger + MScout grouped
NRanger + Scout0040 grouped

This is the equation I got from my subject matter expert:


MR harvests X
MS harvests Y

If you want the % increase of MR harvest over MS harvest:

(X-Y)/Y*100

So to figure out the percentage it would be [(105-76)/76]*100 = approx 38%
