Which box matters for amazing successes? Is it experimentation or the assemebly box i need? I'm rather confused. Basically i bored and i want to get the good ones=)
Im pretty sure it is the experimentation one, but I could be wrong. I was in the lucky position that I had 3 free unlocks from hologrind so I go all my 3 lines at the same time.

whats this? all 3? only 3??? !!! 
I still don't know why I grinded repair
i've stacked myself to the point where amazing success are almost just as common as greats. it took me 2 hours to craft the schems of my entire factory line today. thats it.
I second (or third or fourth) the sentiment that if you want to get everything you can out of the profession, you need to get at least the experimentation line...and reportedly the Techniques line helps too.
When my original WS accidentally got a lightsaber, my unlock toon took over the business. The difference between crafting with a FS crafting master and a non-fs toon was remarkable. I have spent the last month getting FS on Leeroy and grinding FS crafting xp.
Just this weekend I ground up xxx4 DE and let me tell you; if you have the skill points and (most importantly) the resources to grind on Binary load lifter chassis, it's definantly the way to go. Contrast 780 weapons xp per item vs. 4000 DE xp per item (without a buff)...and they both trade in at the same 5:1 ratio.
That being said, the DE FSxp grind takes ALOT of resources and tons of components...and components to make components, lol. I di it because I have the resources, factories and skill points to spare. However thinking back on it...i wonder if I hadjust spent all the time I was ramping up to the DE grind making Heavy warheads...I might have come out ahead with the weapons grinding, lol

That's definitely the power way to do it, if you can coordinate everything. If not, ADFUs at DE 0002 require only generic steel and fiberplast, two clicks per combine. I'd recommend that over heavy warheads.
thats how i did it, although i did 0004 DE to get a higher cap
have you guys noticed ANY advantage from FS assembly?
just wondering as I rarely get a failure with only my current +119 assemmbly, and once in a blue moon when I get an amazing that stat on assembly are hardly better (eg. on a abhp speed would be 0.59 iso 0.58......a 0.001 difference in the final combine 
)
