I kid you not... I crit failed Three times in a ROW.. and then on the next assembly failed in experimentation. Dropped that, then AGAIN failed in experimentation. What gives?

When you fail at anything, STOP. Don't do another combine, or just do something else for a couple of minutes. You're almost guaranteed to fail again if you try to combine/experiment right after a failure.

This happens in other games all the time. I think they all use the same psuedo-random generator and it gets stuck for a little while, enough time for you to attempt to combine several times and failing.

Thanks guys I will try this.


Boy, I was in a SOUR mood last night and that was just the tip of the iceberg.


Lost 100K in a bank transfer.. Talked to a CSR and he said submit a ticket .. soI did.


Got killed 4 times but darn Giant Carrion Spat's and those darndogson Correllia trying to run 4500m to a harvester spot without any Terrain Negotiation skills! Oh yeah and forgot to clone! One of those times I was ON the spot when a fookin spat warped ON TOP of me!


Add that to a bunch of weapons I threw out last night because the combines 1 in6 were not good enough. I have a 40+ station and 14+ tools... that is NOT right!


*Sigh*

When I get a string of crappy results, I run back and forth for a couple seconds and stop in a different spot. I usually get a good result in the next try or two.


I noticed that bad experimentations frequently happen in the exact same place several times in a row (like the 3rd set of points I use), so I figure it's probably the crappy RNG getting stuck and moving a bit will reseed it and let me get proper results.
