Well, what am i doing wrong? and how could i get better results?

Im capped with CA´s and taking Bespin Port and Pyolian Cake all the time... and im making my own advanced reinforcement core.

Any1 could Help?

Its nothing your doing wrong, Power Hammers start off with very high SAC on assembly, even using -9 Cores.... there is nothing you can do aside from using Geo Cores and Red cubes.

That's the breaks.. go buy some red cubes and solidifying agents if you want significantly better. Otherwise make sre you are using 1000SR (or close) resources, that's all you can do, PH are on of the easiest things to make.

You want to make your own geo reinforcement core. You will need the schematic, one red cube (preferably around -14 sac), and one geo solidifying agent (preferably around 25 damage). Once you have these 3 items, learn the schematic, make the core, then make the hammer.

all you can do is smile buddy. Melee weapons are nerfed at the moment.

The only nice powerhammers I have seen that have high damage and low sac have been made with SAC reducing Red Cubes and High Damage Geo Agents...placed into a Geo Reinforcment core

that schematic works for how many craftings?

3 or 5.. i forget been a while

yea, you can get them in the geo caves. Something else you can do is if you get a killer assembly on one and have about 5 or 6 of the solidifying agent and cubes left is make manufacturing schematic, this doesnt waste your temporary uses for the schematic

note: the cubes and agent must come from a stack to work in a station like power cells are with EBPH

is thegeo solidifying agent the melee core enhancement?

Yes it is. The Geo reinforcement core takes Diatum (something like that) Steel, a Power Cube (preferably a Red one with a large SAC reduction...-14s are the best I've seen personally), and the 'enhancement' which are the Solidifying Agents. Oh, and its 5 uses per schematic for the Geo Reinforcement Cores, I believe.

If you can get the Power Hammer to Assemble at 100 SAC (what I get with -13 SAC cubes, I believe...or maybe that was -14) then it will take a 5pt Amazing to cap the SAC. Then (assuming a 12pt WS) you have 7pts left for damage. 470-990 (or better for the max, depending on your Solidifying Agents) is possible.

Good luck.

THX GUYS! Im at Geo Caves right now...

imo i believ the only way to get a damage cap OR and sac cap would be 200 max damage acklay bones... I know i know everyone says the way to go is red cubes and adhesive but you just cant get that damage up high enough to xp the sac, so if you get high damage acklay don't be afraid to use it.

I'm working with 29%'s across the board pre xp... and best i made is like 1075 max damage 102 sac... (With -11 sac cubes & adhesive)

Go acklay bone!
