So.. I was at the bazaar in Bestine putting up some stuff for sale and browsed through the ranged components. Hmm, some krayt tissues for sale for 20k. A bit steep for base tissues i thought but i checked them out.

+104 dmg, -0.307 spd.

8 of them.

For 20k each.


So I held my breath all the time while i shuttles to Mos Entha were they were offered and quickly bought them. Great! So what to do with 8 tissues? I guildmate wanted a e11-2 carbine and he's been a nice helpful guy, so what the hell I thought, I'll use 4 of the tisuses for the carbine.


I didnt take any chances when making the components: Got inspired, went to my research city, used pyollian cake for the assembly and bespin port for each experimentation. So I finally got some great components made and even managed to get a form fitted stock for a bit of extra damage.


I started making the actual gun using all the top resources I had. Pyollian cake before assembly -> amazing assembly. Drank some Bespin and put two points in damage -> amazing success. Drank some Bespin, put two points in efficiency -> amazing success. Did this a few times and by the end I was full and couldnt drink anymore. Since -all- my experimentations this far had been amazing ones I decided to wait unitl I could drink again before continuing. So Iplaced my last points, two points in damage and one in efficieny and went to do some other things for awhile. Came back a bit later and was able to drink. Finally! So I sat down and clicked the experiment button.

The wrong experimentbutton

Instead of "run experiment" I clicked "done experimenting" and since all my points where already placed the system thought I didnt have any points left and happily took me to the next screen.


It took me awhile to figure out what had happened and an even longer time to get over it. Aww, hell, I still havent gotten over it.....

Ouch thats gotta hurt....


I usually experiment with a few points at a time, that way you don't fill up on port and 1 amazing success = however many boxes you have selected being an amazing success... obviously can work the opposite way also....


I am pretty sure I read that currently, Research Centre, Inspiration and Food bonus's arent stacking anyway?

No idea about that... I cant say I have noticed a huge difference with cake and the assembly, but when using Bespin I do see a difference for experimenting. Of course, it could just be lucky coincidences, but I dont think so. For the important stuff I always use Bespin, atleast for the first experimentation.

It lasts for 5minutes or 1 experiment. Whichever comes first.

The Port DOES have a 5 min (I think) timer, but when you experiment, you'll notice the 'buff' icon disappears from under your name. So yes, you have to drink it before EACH experimentaion step, or no buff.

I have 4000 FS experimenation, use bespin port 15 tool and 44 station and usualy get an amazing on up to 8 points of experimentation at one time. Usually I do 8 on SAC then 1 more to get it to -9 and put 3 on speed.
