I seem to get one excellent succes for every 10-15 tries. Is there a way I can boost my chances to get them more frequently?

hmm how does that work?
success -> good success -> great success -> amazing success -> excellent success ??

LOL I meant Amazing. Sorry havent had my coffee yet. But I consider any success that doesnt lower the stats or eat that expensive piece of krayt tissue to be an excellent success.

There are a few ways to help you get those successes
experimentation tapes +20 gives you 2 points but it caps at +25. Aswell as giivng points these help with success
FS experimentation tree
research centre cities - crafting in these gives assembly and experimentation bonuses
bespin port - best ive seen is +11 experimentation and is 12% filling. I ALWAYS use this when making loot made.
pyolian (sp?) cake - gives bonus to assembly to prevent critical failures at worst possible times

Yeah I have +20 in tapes. I didnt know about the port and cakes though. And although my city is a IJO, our "suburb" is a research center, so I may put my lab there.

Since I got all four of the Jedi crafting trees (couple of days after Patch 10) I have never had less than a great success at any stage during experimentation. I'm still prone to the odd critical assembly failure during assembly but I don't think anyone can ever shake that off.
I appreciate this isn't a short-term solution but if you can get the skills it helps immensely.

Does that make any difference with adv. stocks, or are those just inherently bugged?

I have pretty much the same thing. Every once and a while I get the moderate success of doom. I usually try to recover with bespin port. I dont drink bespin port while crafting unless I am trying to help a moderate success early on.
I try to always eat some of that crafting cake stuff whenever I am makning stuff with enhaced loot... then when experimenting I just hope I dont get a moderate success or if I have time I use bespin port and wait a while to finish since I get full before I can finish.
Hey Kaliban did raiyne give you one of his extra weaponsmithsuits? I am trying to track down were the extra suits went since I know he had more than one. Not that it matters(just a few people have asked me about his other suits and I always have to tell them that he didnt leave the extra suit to me) just wondering.. and I know he told me he had to stop at gatica for something before he met me.

No. He was delivering some weapons to Gatica. Someone also mentioned they thought they were getting better results while holding a special looted weapon. I figured that was more like a rabbit's foot theory than anything, but I might as well bring it up as well.
