Thread: Architect = fresh meat
My best advice is to stay on your bike unless absolutely necessary, and be ready to burst run when you're not on your bike.
CL1 Architect/DE/Merchant...I have no fear of Dath, Yavin, or anywhere for that matter. Use your overhead map, radar, and wits to steer clear of threatening MOBs. Check sample quality in safe zones (like SWGCraft 
)and then survey on-the-run. Dropping harvesters can be accomplished ususally by staying very still (you don't even have to dismount anymore to place them in case you didn't know) and keep an eye out for the tell-tale aggro "!" while you are positioning your harvester from the top-view placement screen. Try keeping your harvester deeds in a toolbar slot for quick deployment, and macro the power/maint/admin for one-key setups. The only time you should be vulnerable is for the few seconds that you need to select the resource for the harv to pull, otherwise it can all be done very efficiently and never usually will draw aggro.
umm... i use the camo kits with quite sucess
check with your local scout

Ive been having a problem lately and it involves trying to search the galaxy for primo resources and I would like to know how other architects deal with this.
I am a master arch, and master tailor, but my CL is low, only 12. I can not go to planets like yavin and Dantooine and rori to search for resources because i get incapacitated every time i pass a creature on my swoop or i stop to check for resources. I am thinking of trying to toggle my template up a bit to add a few more combat skills so i can wear armor and wield a better weapon for defensive purposes.
What are you all doing besides avoiding these planets all together. How is your architect template set up to avoid many trips to the local cloning station.
Im a proud member of CL1, Master Arch/Mweaponsmith/merch0434. My wife is Jedi CL80, and her alt is Rifle/SL, i group up with one of them and go on my way.. maybe its an exploit but alot of things on dath is greyed out for the most part.. i just steer away from the red/red con or purple/purple con's. Dath and Yavin resources for me are few so if i find a safe 30% spot, its good enough for me. But adivce is to group up with someone and be quick wiht your job....
