Star Force Simulations To prepare for Star Force and decide how much I would be spending, I wrote a simulation for the system. Thought I'd share the data here. The simulation was written on MATLAB and uses MATLAB's RNG. A new seed was obtained at each trial. The simulation would run each trial until the equipment reached the target 15 stars, constantly adding the cost for each enhancement. If the item was destroyed, it would start from 0 star but would not consider it a new trial.

Most people were quite negative about the possibility. Now, if I
