Special Attack in DNA Laboratory

I love tinkering with DNA laboratory and find out what kind of pet I may get. Its a great tool for us BEs.
I would love to see Special Attacks included in the calculation. I know Creature Level is hard to guess (and it also depends on the skin), but maybe Special Attacks can be added?
Anyways, thanks for a great tool!

There is not a very good forumla for figuring out which specials sticks as it is a random chance from the DNA used.
The one thing that does seem to prove true is that a VHQ sample in the aggressive slot will usually determine both specials.
Psychology has some effect on Special 2 and if this sticks, Special 1 is probably from Aggression. Occassionally these specials will come from elsewhere though.
A VHQ ranged sample in Mental will usually give a ranged creature, and lesser quality will have a chance but is not guaranteed.
These are not a given like the numbers though, so it is difficult to say what you will get.

I see. Thanks for your info Lantyssa.
Too bad I can't get VHQ samples yet... Maybe that's part of the reason why my specials don't stick the way I want them to.
So when I can get VHQ samples, I guess here's what I would do...
1. Get VHQ sample with good specials for Aggression/Psychology slot.
2. Get Merek Harvester samples for Physique and Prowess if I am going for PvE pet. (High Kinetic resist)
3. Get VHQ sample with Ranged for Mental slot if I am going for Ranged.

I made a pet with the following
Physique = Above Average (AA) Merek Harvester (MH)
Prowess = AA MH
Mental = AA MH
Psychology = AA Rancor
Aggression = High Rancor
Came out
CL 52
1.2K HAM
Light Armor
Kinetic = 60
Vulnerable to almost everything else
Damage ~420 or so
Both Stunning Strike and Intimidation stuck
My main goal was to get specials stick so I got my goal.
My next goal is to keep Resists/Light Armor/Specials and lower Creature Level.
Now to get some nice specials, I have to go get Slinking Voritor Hunter DNAs...

That is close to one of my forumlas. I substitute Bark Mite Burrowers and Queens in place of the Merek though so I can get energy resistance as well.
I lose 5% or so on kinetic, but they can stand up to NPCs a lot better.
