I don't worry as much about low-ballers now that I've mastered architect. I make houses for my guildmate and am stockpiling resources in anticipation of player cities. Now that I've mastered I can use my factory when I want (especially structure modules) and not worry about the xp.


I make the bulk of my money from selling resources and have a small but steady income from furniture sales. If someone asks me to build something, I quote my price and if they don't like it they can look elsewhere.

I've always thought that houses should be the most expensive items in game so far (ships later). I would prefer it that it was actually a status symbol to own a house- especially large ones. Sadly they are cheap, everyone buys them, and most people complain they are still too expensive. If some day there are differences in houses such as number of items it can hold ect. i think it will help and a larger selcection never hurt. Well thats my 2 cents keep up the good work all and as a whole I think you should raise all of your prices- I should'nt be able to run 4 missions and buy a large house.

If people are seriously undercutting me, I have a tendancy to buy their stock if I have the credits for it. I don't see why that's such a bad thing (as long as you don't exploit and order 300 heavies ). This person chose to sell at this price, and they are recieving the money they expect, nobody loses. I generally do this to keep my vendors stocked, but I usually let them know first that I'm doing that (don't want to be called a griefer). Most people don't mind at all, as long as you treat them respectuflly.

Jyss, just out of curiosity why are you selling smalls for 4k? You do realize that you can buy a style 1 Small Naboo house that has the same amount of storage space as a medium Naboo? Why would anyone buy a Medium when they can get a small for that price?


If you are extracting your own materials and selling at 4K you might be making about about $1600 a house, but that does not include, your travel and placement costs on harvestors, vendor costs, failure ratings etc etc. I bet even mining your own resources for those houses you are still selling them at a loss. If your going to sell 4K for a small house and make hardly nothing on it you might as well exert the same amount of energy on making furniture that pays higher dividends than your houses do. Just a thought.


Housing will always be screwed up until the architecture community as whole stands up and say....NUFF!
