Thread: Seriously utterly f. fed up with crafter deaths
I took my CL 1 Master Armorsmith to LOK unescorted for over 2 hours of surveying this past week.
If you are careful and avoid contact you can live, survey, service harvestors, yadda, yadda, yada.
When I remember I just group with a CL80 and take my alt on his merry way.
Its just not that bad, if you use alittle caution.
When I need a lair removed I call for help on guild chat.

I was avoiding contact and the area I was in was clear of critters as far as the eye and radar could see. I was there a good 10 mins placing harvesters and they just spawned literally on top of me. Kind of hard to avoid
Suffered a new low, incapped by a spineflap, I can live with a ran or ns, but a spineflap lol. Woot i'm a CL5 AS and I laff when I die.....I seem to be laffing a lot this week.
Can't we have a crafters innate armor, I dont want combat skills just something to enable me to get away without being spanked sensless in one hit
My level 80 combat char should be able to craft! 
Ok, seriously though...
I was lvl 1 for a while. I only died a few times. Frustrating, yeah. Game breaking, no. As others have said, camo kits, friends, and caution will all help you quite a bit.
Personally, I went up to 4000 Smuggler to be able to buy and sell faction on this girl. Puts me at level 21. Sure, I still get aggro'd, but I have plenty of time to get away. No more one shot kills. I can drop and access harvesters from my vehicle, factories are in town, shop is in town. I have not been incapped once since I picked up a little combat, although I still have to run from everything.
Out in the wild is a dangerous place. Without combat, you're supposed to die. That's how it was in the beginning, before 90% comp and buffs. You'll adjust, but you have to realize that you need to adjust what you're doing first, and not just blame everything on the system.
You bring up a great point. My level 80combat player CAN CRAFT!!!! I can make bowcasters as long as I supply him with the components. I never said my level 80 crafter ought to be able to compete with a level 80 combatant in a combat situation, just like my bowcasterscan't compete with a WookieeMaster WS's bowcasters. What's wrong with experienced crafters having enough hitpoints to be able to run away from incoming spineflaps?

simple solution i feel.
crafters shoukd get full hitpoints and combat level so we get dmg reduction and can do stuff like DWB again like we r meant to]
but dont give us mods.
we will have 0 defense 0 attack but we will have a chance
