Need a little help from the experts.

I am currently creating a 42.752912 or something like that crafting station.

Control Unit = 99%
EGP Mod = 99%
ED = 99%
MSS = 89%

Final combine uses a 993 CD copper.
I'm hoping that if I replace the inert gas I use that's currently 959 OQ, to 986 OQ that I'll get the MSS to 90% which from what I'm reading should put me in the 43 range.

How much would it help to change the copper on the final combine to 996 CD instead of the 993? Could that make a big difference?

Advice?

Thx...

lol, you guys need to learn salesmanship. Right now starship tools are new and exciting, people will pay a premium for them. This is salesmanship, this is how it works in RL, new stuff is always more expensive than old stuff. I have been selling my stations on Naritus for 100K each all day long. Go ahead sell yours for 30 - 40k lol

How do you suppose a new player is going to enter "your" game with that kind of sales approach. /shrug

I started a Chef business with some pals on Starsider last year, and we kept prices fair, but still at a profit. Our customers are return customers and have always been loyal to what we've asked them to pay. If the price goes up.. very seldom does one ask why.. they can assume it's due to resource costs.. or what-not.

100k for a station.. that's great for you.. bad for economy.

Lift butt, run missions.

Within 2 days of starting this game I had over 100k, from NOTHING. My time, effort, 52 million credits for my crafting clothes and well over 11 months of saving and searching for the best materials to specifically make the best stations on Tempest is worth 100k. That's what my Starship Crafting Stations at +43.659386 go for and my +15 Shipwright Crafting Tools sell for 5K.

Beggars get on my ignore list for a minimum of 3 months, too, btw. I even date the annotation.

I'm not going to be selling these cheap either. My final assembly is 42.77146. I can't break 43 no matter what I do. I had to pay 150 cpu for the Licat steel I'm using, 100cpu for the polymer, I harvested the 1000 oq steel used in the components as well as the 998 OQ ore and the 989 OQ gas and I thought I was using server best of every component but apparently not.

It's taken me at least 2 weeks to get to this point and if people don't want to pay my prices then they can go somewhere else. This has been the hardest thing I've had to craft so far in the game. Never have I had to gather this many exceptional resources to put into one thing. To let them go cheaply just isn't worth it to me.

So, for those of you who sell for less, more power to you. I'll make a few runs of these, keep a crate, put the rest on the vendor and see what happens. I'm seeing a lot of architects selling these for much less but they're 15 or 20 functionality. I'm guessing most people don't know the difference anyway. I may make a few runs of those as well as the margin is much better on the cheap ones.

Thanks for the help all...

I don't think that a few more points on the copper conductivity will make that much difference. You might get another 0.03 or .04if you went from 993 to 996.

I think that gas will make more difference in the overall rating. I would use the better gas in all the electronic parts.

Even though you are at 99% right now there is still room to improve cause you are not seeing the round off. In other words you might be 99.1% and could go up to 99.3%.

I went from 996 cond copper to 1000 on final combine with all subcomponents the same and the rating went from 43.72 to 43.84, so I guess it's .03 per cond, at least in my case.

Great feedback. I wish I had 1000CD copper! :-)

I'm wondering, I've noticed that others say they use 97% or higher Droid Storage Compartments, can someone point me in the right direction on BLOODFIN to a DE that sells them this high?

My current DE can only make them with 92%. I'm guessing this could be a problem as well. I upgraded the gas last night to 989oq from 969oq and I'm up to a 42.77146 now from 42.74145 or something like that.

I thought it would go higher.

Anyway, any help with a contact who sells DSC's at 97% or higher let me know.

Thanks,

Miklaorm

Again, great feedback. I'm feeling a little better now. The copper that I'm using is Oroe 970oq and 870cd, it's the very best I could find anywhere with oq and cd balanced.

Is anyone else on bloodfin making starship crafting stations better than 42.77?
