I have a tendancy to craft a lot of suits by hand. Gives it a very hands-on and personable feel to the suits.

I craft custom orders by hand, other then that, everything else is in the factory.

This is an important poll simply because it might be what is to come in combat revamp..
Be very careful what you wish for because persay we are able to craft faction armors and this and that the demand is going to increase largely for all other armor types. Keeping a stocked vendor is always a nice thing and is the primary reason why the large volume AS' are as rich as they are and have repeat business.
Subsequently by agreeing to hand crafting armor you are agreeing to either destroy less then perfect products or sell inferior products. You are also agreeing to burnout your armorsmith character guarenteed (I've seen it time and time again). Using my server as an example there is barely just enough composite to go around and all armorsmiths are keeping busy making one of three types of armor.
Adverse effects of hand crafting:
1) Armor production slower then server demand
2)Armor prices raise (Compensation for time and failures)
3)Resource pricesraise
4) More direct orders and wait time in shops
5) More time required to look for armor
6) Profit Margains decrease (failures more likely)
7) Huge confusion with parts considering new options available come combat rebalance
-add your own
I am not the smartest guy around but I have been pretty on the nose when itcomes to SWG's economy and how different things have affected us all. Really think about it and imagine things thru while thinking about the entire server rather then just what you prefer. Those who now hand craft might or might not realise it now but hand crafting the same peices of armor will become old hat and the amount of people willing to take on the task are numbered.
