What are the factors that determine the Generation and quality for the Bot Shells that Nimhe creates?
I understand that you initially need to give her a Shell via Botlab Voucher for her to "study", and then select the type for her to craft during the morning Orders (while having the required Bot Crates aboard). Problem is, even with her Tech skill maxxed, she never has produced a shell better than Gen 2 ADV for the Krell, Ni'lurian, Voron, or Supermodel types.
Current play-through is Day 105, just entered Voron system.
Is this purely RNG driven? I did give her a Gen 3 BAS Supermodel shell to learn from a loot container, but now I have four Gen 2 shells that severely diminish the value of any Gen 3 MIL bots they are applied to; and because of that I am extremely reluctant to provide her with the GEN 3 MIL Infiltrator shell I initially got in Iltari system.
Yes, I know that I can inject bot shells into the Lab inventory using console commands, but I prefer not to.
