I have money, i have the schem, i have the uber tissues, i have a white barrel.
what is the benefit of a yellow one? i hear "secret mods" and other such stuff but it seems like rumors and heresay to me.
any concrete evidence on this?
i'd like to see some picks of one with yellow barrels and ones without yellow barrels if its possible

People are not likely to have screenshots of non-Krayted DE-10s. Most people who come to me looking for a DE-10 will wait until there is tissue available before they will proceed with production.
As for Yellow Barrels...
Well, there is clearly a stat modification, by the Barrel.
Yellow writing simply denotes that the Barrel has 'base' stats, much like any other piece of loot.
Now......
It could just be *1* more point on the max damage. Or *100*.
There is no way of knowing ahead of time.
Much like Krayt Tissue, or Geonosian Power Cubes, it's completely random.
Me.... I think I've given up paying for Yellow Barrels. On starsider, the costs are getting too high, and it's getting difficult to get the money back.
But everyone sees things differently, so the demand for the 'Yellow' Barrel will continue to grow, I suspect.

From what I have seen the yellow barrel either adds to wound chance or max damage. Usually by 20 or more. If it adds to other stats I dont know. I have heard of some that say that they want to get the barrels to show stats.

yellow barrels hidden stats are Min/Max, ideal range and wound% , ive had yellows that have added 5min 5 max, ive had others that have added 25 min 65 max 
(some higher i think). its a gamble with them im affraid, but best to go with the yellows if your useing nice tissues

I have used 2 so far and I used the same tissues along with white barrels so subtracting out to find the extra stats of the yellow barrels they were:
1) +3 min / +16 max / -.1 speed / +8.1% wound chance / +12 Ideal range
2) +4 min / +25 max /+11.4% wound chance / +9 Ideal range

i made a De-10 with 90% wound so i think mine had some hidden wound chance 
Wonder if you can have a negative stat, like -10 max damage Wouldnt suprise me. As for knowing the stats on the barrel, nah. Much more fun not knowing.....

Im not sure... but do barrels drop more than one at a time? cause from what i have encountered in the past any bonus statted (yellow) items only the first one of the batch looted is yellow (cubes, sword cores, bile, whatever)
I could be off base, I assume probally by the going price that they drop only one at a time.

DE10 barrels are single drop items.
