The title says it all. I feel this should be changed.

there use to be experimenting on clothes... im kinda glad its gone for a few reasons

reason #1: resource quality is nolonger an issue when crafting clothes... i can make a nice shirt with OAQ fiberplast of 10 the same as if i used fiberplast with a OAQof 900.

reason #2: one less step to have to deal with when i have needy customers begging for stuff when all i wanna do is get on the starship.

the only thing i could see experimenting to be any good for now is,with decay, you may beable to make some 10k/10k decay resistant clothes rather than the 1k/1k normal clothes we can do now... then again ill never see some of my customers ever again if the clothes i make them last too long.

with the current decay system (which blows) it wouldn't matter anyway.

A 1K shirt, and a 10K shirt, can both survive the exact same, 20 uninsured deaths before faling apart. Because it's percentage based.

I think if they just did a usage based decay (you wear it, you're logged in, it decays over time. not wearing it, or not logged in, no decay) would be much better than this death-based decay.

I am all for usage decay. I think it is desperately needed. It is easy to make experimentation work with any decay scheme, though. Lets say we could experiment on a durability rating which goes from 0 to 999. The we could juse use a formula like

decay = decayrate * (1-durability/1000)

Then poor quality clothes decay at the full rate while very good ones hardly decay at all.
