Just ran into this today while testing APBH's using best server resources.
Conitantly getting 19-39 -.39 as top on these EVEN WITH ONE AMAZING SUCCESS, and ALL great successes at 78% exp, got 2 pts left over in each result.
Havent tested other components yet but will add more info when i get it. but for now here is what i hve
changing ONLY carbonate ore from 8484OQ to use seecond serverbest of 734 OQ the same above scenerio occured except stats were 19-39 -.38 being best i could achieve WITH ONE amazing success and rest great. Even with ALL great success it still capped at 19-39 -.38 for 78% exp
somethings afoot here...

no problems here.
Are you experimenting the same way? There are cases where experimentating more points at once can drag down your overall result even with amazings.

I noticed something similar the other day when playing around experimenting. I seemed to be capped on stocks at 39/39 damage and was maxed on my experimentation. amazing success only allowed me to put the extra points into another field. I did this using 6 points up front then 3 then 1.
When I changed the way I distributed my exp points(every so slightly) it changed the max I was able to attain. I simply changed from 6-3-1 to doing it as 6-2-2. And was then able to reach a max of 40/40 pretty consistantly. I also got the same results as my first experimentation 39/39 whenever I broke it up any other way(ie 1 point at a time or 3points at a time etc...). so give that a shot and let me know if that works out for ya.

Exact same thing happened to me. With all great I had the same result. Changed polymers, copper, and ore, still had the 19-39 -.39 max. I thought the same thing you did.

I havent had time to totally test this yet, but I have noticed lately that my pistols are all 1 point less dmg and .1 slower, consistantly. I'm using the exact same resources and components, I've even double checked them with some of my older schematics that are 1 point more dmg and .1 faster

no luck hostage. still capping at 78% tried your method also. going to go find some 905 oq phrik and see if that does anything.

This is really interesting.
I've noticed no changes myself, so I doubt this effect is across the board.
Has aything changed for you lately? New armor? A new neighbor (or one who left)? Is there a newdroid nearby when you craft (perhaps a decoration)? Have you migrated stats? Has the condition of your crafting station (or tools) changed in any way? Heck, position? Are you near a server boundary?
I'm not sure if any of the above have anything to do with what you are experiencing, but it wouldn't hurt to investigate. This game can be buggy in ways that don't make sense.
Best of luck to you, friend.
