Architect Archive

i have been a master for almost a week. i became a millionare today. it was very hard work, though.

I don't have close to 1 million. However, I always have money in the bank to cover my expenses and buy stuff in an emergency.

I also don't try. I hate being an architect. Its takes 30+ minutes to craft one thing and hours to collect all the resources needed for it. Once someone who wants a house gets it, I can expect to spend a few more hours making furniture to sell them. But then I will never see them again.

What does the class do for me? Well, I can make my own house and furniture...but again...other than being a bank out in the field and a place to set up a vendor...what good does it do me? It doesn't help me in battle. Its not an alternative housing solution to living in town because you can live there for free. I can't make battlements or anything cool for my *fake* player city.

I think architects and DEs should get a shared schematic...a house droid...the architect should make 90% of the components, give them to the DE and the result should be a huge walking battle station that you control from the inside and can transport troops.

Also, players should be charged rent for living in the cities. There is no incentive and no real upkeep costs for a pure fighter to own a house. But if they were charged to live in a city, they may consider buying a house.

It's not neccesarily a shortage of archs on Bria. There's gotta be at least 10-20 masters running around, with many others close. It's just the unreal demand. People are buying PA halls to use as houses.

With easy quick missions paying 10k, ANY person can make about 100k in an hour.

Would you churn missions for 6 hours to buy your very own PA hall? A lot of people would, and do.

Just broke 100k and see a million in a week or 2. But to be honest I am being lazy and making quick money selling resources and strcutural mods.

Right now I crank out about 30 structural mods a day from a factoryand sell them to a master architect for 1k each. I also sell him about 5k in resources per day at 3 credits per, so 45k per day seems great. But I only sell the occasional structure when people bump into me and see the architect title. I used to be lucky to have 10k left after I fed my extractors.

Been Master for 2 weeks now. Got 2.2 million yesterday. Didn't start selling PA Halls till 2 days ago. One for 375k + some robe that gives 25 to Structural (something). Only did that so that IF the game is ever fixed it will actually work. And sold another PA Hall last night 500k. Don't plan on doing anymore but who knows.

I'm sorry if I sounded so Acusatorily in my post (is that a real word?)

If that is the situation in your galaxy I guess it makes sense. But also I've gotta say that that is also extremely effed up! You're saying that primarily you are the main Architect (Master Architect?) on your server because many other bowed out due to problems early on? And becasue of this you are getting requests for 10-12 PA Halls every day? For one thing - if you like being an Architect, you are in Architect Heaven so you loose all rights to complain about your situation! For another thing - Anybody who might want to be a great Architect on your server should wake up and fill part of the gap.

Seriously, if Adune here is getting almost 12 requests per day for PA Halls, then this server is one ripe for Architects. Or instead if you guys on his server want a guaranteed life of unending strife and a certainty that nobody will want to buy 93% of what you will be able to build once you reach Master status - then choose Droid Engineer.

But if you wanna make (apparently) buttloads of creds, come to Adune's server and make what he can for a bit less. You'd probably double his bankload in a few days by the sound of it!

(Adune - I give you the benefit of the doubt, but realize this is an unrealistic situation! As soon as somebody who wants to be an Architect for real sees this and starts on your galaxy they will level up and undercut your every creation. If you think they won't then why were you the guy bragging about how many Millions of creds you had?)

I should also add that your claim to build Deeds for free whn all resources provided is quite nice I must say Adune! Kudos to you for that!

I, myself as a Droid Engi was able to gather enough Ore for a large house in about 2 1/2 days. Which is a testament to all us out there that are not Architects that if we can find one to work mainly for resources we can achieve our dreams without having to sell out first 6 Probots
