After every patch there are always some messages about higher rate fo failures. But usually it is only a random factor and that people pay more attention right after a patch. Had some bad lag right after pub 18 though.
It is just a rumour that BF affect experimentation. I have never seen any difference between habing a low or high BF (actually had 1000 BF last two days experimenting).

I have noticed that sometimes using 1 point at a time often get me Great/amazing success (using no food or buffs and not being in a City) where using all points at once usually end up in succes/moderate success instead.
I havent tested excatly which lines of experimentation this happens with, but some can take alot of points at once, where others only want one at a time.
I always experiment with one or two points at a time. When I do so, I almost always obtain Great or even Amazing Results. Even when I use more then Two points at a time, I never split them amongst seperate fields.
I have not had any problems with crafting since Pub 18.

I've been doing okay, but then I'm FS, in a research center, using a 14.98 tool, have a 44+ station, and am wearing clothing with+'s to experimentation.
Not sure if any of that really helps, but I certainly haven't gotten anything lower than a great success in the last few weeks.

I have alot of crafting toon, One I tested with all u have as well as FS, and then I took one with the worst stuff possible (Using same resources) Got the exact same result. The only thing I noticed is, sockets on Armor and Clothing since that is choosen by the amount of Assembly exp a toon has.

God, I've noticed it all day when crafting my Reactors, "Critical Failure!!" 
Wasting my resources.

Yes, I seem to be criting on close to 20% of my Reactors as well.
In addition, on weapons, great success on assembly. But when I experiment, stats are the same as a critical failure.
Took me 8 Tier 4 cannons for the system to show proper stats.

It's been critting 6 out of 10 items I made! This is insane! 
I do 1 point at a time, have inspiration buffs and in a reasearch city. If this goes on and on I be loosing more precious 1000OQ resources.
I might as well do max point at a time to reduce cirt rate on experiment.

I have no idea what you guys are talking about. I am crafting with strings of 'great' and 'amazing' successes. I'm experimenting on a lvl5 blaster ~6-10 times, and I get ALL great or amazing successes

I had a moderate success yesterday. Since I had made uh.... 10-12 lvl 5 blasters, 10'ish lvl 5reactors, 4-5 pieces of armor, 15-20 chassis, 3 engines, and a couple missile launchers and packs, I'd say I did just fine.
