I have just tried making various pistols and have noticed that the stats that i am now getting are 1-2 points off of the previous run. I am using the same factory run of components and am using exactly the same resources. I have tried with and without pyollian cake/ bespin port and the result is always the same.
EXAMPLE
1st run of DL44 - Quadian Copper with pistol barrels 20-20 dmg, blaster power handler 40-40 dmg = 61-170 dmg 2.0 spd
2nd run of DL 44 - Exactly the same as above, end result = 61-169 dmg 2.0 spd.
I have run 25 dl44s off, all with the same result.
Has any other WS noticed this, any help would be welcome.

I think sometimes when you experiment, if you get within a set amount of the max potential it won't allow you to spend another point of experimentation.
For example: say the maximum you could get on yourDL44 is 98% and through your experimentation process you endup at 97.5%, the game will round that up and not let you experiment for that extra .5%.
This has only happened to me a few time, and I just make another and it usually turns out fine.

Many thanks for your reply Ybagi, i have found the cause of this and believe what you said about percentages are correct.
I had made an additional run of blaster power handlers still with the exact damage and speed (40-40) as previous however using these caused the drop in max damage and i can only assume that even though these were 81% experimentation, the fraction which isnt displayed is lower and therefore the extra points are lost.

ive had problems like this before any recent publishes too...it seems that some days you get better experiments. bout 2 weeks ago i was making a vk schematic, used the motors i made, and was only getting max 144. unaccpetable for me so i logged. next day i tried again, using same resources and motors, hit max 146. was quite confused lol

Its all in the hidden decimals. That is one of the key issues that our new coorespondant has highlighted. Not to eliminate but let us know what some of them are.

had the same problem when last restocking my vendor, 1 point less on a range of diff weapons, used same sub components as my previous run , grinded amazeing sucses results and still couldnt hit my old stats , it was effecting diff wepaons, VK/gad/jawa and some others i forget , so it was right across the board and not only on weapons that use the same sub components . i posted about it and im sure ive seen other posts prior with this happening to people aswell

Not a major problem, 1 and 2 point differences hardly have an affect, especially in PvE.
