Sorry to drift a bit off-topic, but while we are discussing bonuses - exactly what is the difference between crafting weapons in a player city that is a "Manufacturing Center" and one that is a "Research Center"?


I figured the Manufacturing Center added assembly bonus, giving the weaponsmith fewer critical failures and more amazing successes.

I figured the Research Center giving some sort of "effect" bonus to the final assembly roll... giving better stats? This is apparently wrong though. I crafted a laser rifle in a manufacturing center and in a research center using identical tools/res/etc. using 3+3+3+2 experimentation points, and the end result was identical.


I'd be most grateful is someone could explain exactly what these two city customizations does.


Thanks,

I craft at my shop, (no special city spec). On all customs I have done since using the Poly Cake (probably several hundred) I have only crit-failed 2 times. I use 19fill Bespin and on extremely important builds I drink 1, let my stomach empty, then craft, and drink 5 more times using 2 points at a time (for each exp) that way bespin gets into every point I use.

Yippy! Just the thought makes me giggle like a little school girl.

I normally use it when I am trying to make schematics for large runs of weapons or when making specialy order weapons with enhancements. I found that I do normally get a better sucess rate while using it.
