I was making a Czerka carbine this evening and when I put in the Platinite Copper I was using (887/999) the bar indicated yellow and only raised about halfway up. I thought maybe it was just a bug on the display but when I crafted and experimented on the gun it was significantly lower dps than the one I made two days ago. I'm hoping some of you can check to see if you have the same experience and if so submit bug reports so we can get this fixed as it will affect any of the guns that use Platinite like the Czerka, DX2, DXR6, and DXR6-b. I've already submitted a bug report in game.

the problem lies in the new way the system looks at resources
Resource caps are taken into account when the system calculates the weights of your resources so CD has suddenly become even more important that it was before...
The CD of your platinite copper is very close to the bottom range for platinite copper.
In the new system this means that your platinite copper will range lower much lower actually.
In the old system you could exp this platinite to 94.3% but in the new system its CD hurts it bad
calculation on max % now post CU
CD (887-872)/(961-872)= 16.854%
OQ (999-1)/(1000-1)= 99.989
average of these two = 58.377
you can find some good info on the calculations in brynns post on swgcraft

shameless plug on
Ive made a resource comparison tool that will help crafters determine the best resources for their crafting. You can find it in the link in my sig.
shameless plug off
happy crafting
I did a quick check of the wanderhome resources and Ill bet you that you get a better score in the crafting tool with the Efielvou platinite copper (958/389)
I know its weird but thats the new system for you :-P

My bad, I didn't consider the bottom part of the gate for that resource. I probably just didn't notice the bar the other day when I made the first couple Czerkas. Upon further review I must have had a moderate without noticing while making the one earlier tonight that came out so bad. Thanks for your help.
