i go to factories i die, i empty factories dead. i travel to my shop i die, i meet a bugged trooper in a city sumwhere i die. a dirty swoop ganger going to a vendor dead. travelling to a shuttle die.


i am utterly obsessively pi**ed off with crafter deaths. If i can blag a mate to group with me here and there i get tempoary combat level 80, but its a half assed fix and doesnt help when i just login or no1 is online.


all the other bugs annoy me but this one seriously gets me in a twist because we cant buff we cant wear armour anymore and we are recieving a damae multiplier resulting in one hit deaths <<FED UP

i have little problems, get some camo kits and a PSGand just be careful


i have all my harv/factory setups macro'd (name/add power/add maint/permissions etc..)


if theres mobs hanging around your factories or harvesters just use the camo kit and try not to get to close, you can use fact/harv from quite a distance now.


but, i agree, it would be a pain if i kept getting killed

get one of the new CL30 droids with some autorepair (i dont mean to push my own products) but honestly, i havent died once with one - call it out when im tooling around the factories and have no problems. my old CL18 probot got wiped out all the time by the pesky spineflaps and shaupauts that infest my factory grounds, but the new CL30 takes care of them without any problems at all. Same goes for dropping harvs, also good for clearing out lairs that are in the way.

Aye it sucks, but I find that as long as I keep moving, and give any red dots a wide berth, it's not too bad. That said this strategy does not work on dath. Dath has got to be the crafters biggest nightmare, lvl 80 beasties everywhere, and you can bet you find a nice spawn by the time you stop there's a nice Rancor spawn on your head.


Yeah I love dath, mind you the incap/slay route is by far the quickest way back to the SP


You got to think that the Dev's really dont like us seeing as how we got lumbered with Dath Fibreplast

I was mad at this too. Now what I do is group with a level 80 character. On my way to the planet I am going to harvest on I bug everyone till a level 80 character will group with me. This way my equivalent level goes up to 80 and I don't get one shot killed anymore. The only problem is I still get attacked. Your level affects how much damage you take, but anything that is above you personally in levels will still attack you. I suggest just grouping with a high level character till you check harvs or factories. Just make sure it's clear they don't need to babysit you, just group.


Happy Hunting!

I would have to agree that a bit more care is perhaps in order. I have only died once and that was when I forgot I was Rebel Combatant and landed in an imperial city. I have been incapped once or twice, the lasted being when a guild hunting group took a bunch of lvl 60 missions causing a nest of Vicious huff duns to spawn beside me and my factory... Even then they incapped me because I stood there looking at them instead of moving to a safe distance. I go into the wilderness to place harvestors, I just take my speeder bike and try to avoid the red dots at much as possible.

CL 1 pure crafter here...First, always make sure you clone on every planet you visit. After that, it's just planning.


Alot of aggros are sprinkled around randomly, but I'v noticed, especially near my static harvies, that spawns tend to gravitate towards certain locations, and those locations of course tend to be in the direct line of the shuttle port and my harvies. So, I try to steer clear of thesepersistent spawns, and it usually works pretty well for me.


Next, once I'm at the location,I make my plan ofattack. If there are red dots near one of my harvies, I look around to see if there is another, non-aggro mob that I can drag the aggro mob towards. If I can start a fight between those 2, I'm clear to slip in and do what I gotta do.


Also, remember that you don't need to be right next to a harvester. I find that, depending on terrain conditions, I can be as far as 20-25m away and still access the radial menu for a harvy.


By employing these tactics, and using caution, I rarely die. When I do happen to die, I just go outside, smoke a cigarrette, and reflect on how much I am enjoying the "immersion".

I really havent had much trouble with this...Im a lvl 28 and headquaters is on corellia. However, Dathomir makes me nervous...Lvl 80 mobs that spawn out of nowhere to incap. But i've learned to dump all valueable deacying objects in my safety deposit box before heading out. Zoom out ur radar to pick up aggro mobs and work arond them, only thing i can say. U know u can hide behind factories and harvies, mobs dont notice u...this isnt fool proof tho.
