Thread: Do you think all this holo madness will help business?

Well see that's the problem. I dont WANT to be miner. I want to build stuff. IMO, I think it sucks that there are so many holocroners out there. All they are doing is scarfing up as many resources, for basically whatever price anyone has them for. Resources that I wouldnt have to chase all over the galaxy for, that I would USE to make things for resale. Then I also wouldnt ponder charging 5 cpu for stuff when it costs me 3 to buy. Would be more fun to me to be able to buy the stuff for 2.5 or so right in my backyard in Brenn, and then sell for 3.5 - 4 cpu on finished products.

But the way it is now I really have to run harvesters, bounce from planet to planet hitting vendors I've had luck with in the past and hope they have ore and steel for sale for a decent price. All that extra running / travel adds to my expenses rather dramatically actually, hence raising my prices on finished products.


Of course that's just my own personal feelings / opinions .

Most smarthologrinders will sell resources, and they will sell them cheap for speed.


For months people have been telling me I should just sell the resources....


As I am now a Hologrinder, that Is exactly what I am going to do to make money on the side.


This should help architects, lower resource prices. But it wont raise the prices of structures any, or create much more demand, other than for a few extractors and factories.

People changing professions like socks.... needing resources to grind (all us architect/closet miners can take advantage), havesters etc....

could be a good time to be an architect.

Ya know,


I have been selling resources for a couple of months now.


I have a regular buyer, buys everything from me I can get my hands on.


I have just now upgraded all my harvesters and my partners to heavy 13's with two fusion gens a piece..


Find a regular buyer, and make deliveries, and charge 3cpu, 4 if it is outstanding..


No haggle, no wait, just everyday bank.


I now, have to change from bh ch wook combo to master chef..crazy..but I am still going to keep my llc and my pets..for when I get done..


Also, if you have opened a holo, dont open your next til you finish your path. Learned the hard way, thought the other would give me a different choice and it didnt.


Good hunting, good grinding..


May the force be with us all,

It's already helped business in HUGE ways for me. combined with the uber polymer that just hit Naboo, Lowca yesterday, I've made several million in a very short time. Only issue is attempting to keep materials on hand to be able to keep up with orders. LOL



thankfully I've long since worked out several ongoing partnerships with miners to supply my ravenous hunger for low grade ores. LOL




- I support a rollback and keeping & balancing the old combat system.
...and making SWG a better place to be.

That's the kind of window-lickers we get to put up with now.

My resource business: holy crap yes. I can't keep stuff in stock.


Arch business: trickle down effect but yes. More people are placing harvestors to get materials, more people are becoming miners, and more miners are expanding their fields.

If more people seem to becoming miers, why is it so hard to find resources. I can only mine so much with my 15 extractors i have now.
