Are there any Food and/or Clothing items that will help the SW in crafting? I know nothing about foods and clothes but have heard there are some that might help. Also SW tapes, what are they and what do the do, oh, and where do you get them?

Any information you all can provide would be great.

Thank you.....

Foods:
Pyollian Cake gives a bonus to assembly. Not a biggie.
Bespin Port gives a bonus to experimentation. This is a biggie. For each of these 2, they only affect the next assembly or experimentation, so you won't be able to craft a lot before you're full. I typically use Bespin Port about as much as I can, especially when trying to get amazing successes on subcomponents.

Clothing:
There is no BE clothing to help in crafting. What you do need is 4-socket clothing for attachments. There are 3 types of attachments for shipwrights:
Engine Experimentation - covers engines, but not boosters :/
Weapons Systems Experimentation - weapons, obviously
Chassis Experimentation - chassis and armor

You get 1 extra point of experimentation for +10 you get in tapes - but the max you can get in tapes is +25 so you can get a max of 2 extra points of experimentation.

Kill Dark Jedi Master NPC with your Jedi alt.

Or buy them from people that do for about 10 mio and more for a +25. Check your trade forum, once every other day you can find one there.

Okay so what tapes cover... boosters, reactors, shields, capacitors, and cargo holds?

Oh and i tried bespin port post CU and although it says it adds to experimentation it wasnt, has this changed?

Your experimentation skill determines:
a) how many experimentation points do you have when experimenting.
b) the level of success when experimenting.

Foods only help on b), not on a).

So, let's say you have +150 Weapon Systems experimentation, a +10 Weapon Systems experimentation tape in a piece of cloth and drink a +20 Bespin port.

You will have 16 experimentation points when working on weapons (from the +160) and a skill of +180 when rolling for the result of the experimentation. Theoretically, with a +180 your chances of getting an Amazing success are higher than if you only have +160.

Please, deliver any items I buy to my "Astilleros AT - Ventas al publico" vendor. Naboo 6620 -4324

I don't think any. At least for boosters the logical choice would be engine experimentation, but I've got 16 points for engine and it doesn't apply to boosters :/.

BTW, the FS experimentation skill doesn't give extra experimentation points either, just a higher chance of better successes.

does a city with "Research Center" help?

The impact of research center is actually the same whether you're maxed out on experimentation points or not. It doesn't give you more points, but it does increase the chance of your experimentation being successful (i.e. you get more "great" or "amazing" successes and less critical failures.)

Same with going to the max +25 mod from clothing... you don't get additional experimentation points once you hit +20, but you do get better rolls.

Some crafters feel they have to max out that +25, but plenty of others realize that if they can get to +20 for cheaper they're doing fine.

I am also curious to know what impact being in a research center city has if you are already maxed out on your experimentation points.

Also, if you can only get 2 more experimentation points and they each require +10 in skill tapes what is the point of getting +25 in tapes? Wouldn't you be maxed out at +20 in skill tapes?
