" 100cpu isn't a far fetched number for the price of great resources. "

I can see this happening quite easily. Im a scout myself with some combat profs, and I harvest hide for AS's. Even now with Master Teras Kasi, a harvest droid, and Veghash harvesting food... it still takes a lot of effort and time harvest large ammounts of resources. And thats now, when I can walk up to a lair and spam a spin macro for minutes on end, taking out dozens of animals.

After the Cu a Master TK will be lucky if he can take on 2 baby Durni's and win. So Im affraid your going to see the cost of hide and other AS stuff skyrocket. It will just be a huge pain in the butt to do it. Infact, if what is on the TC now is going live... im going to drop scout alltogether. I simply will not be able to make a living and provide hide for my customers at a decent price...

i understand everyone getting upset with the increase
in required resources but, as a SW also i think its
about time the other craftin profs feel some of the
pain. AS have charged way to much for so long now
that it has become expected. IMHO i think its about
time for people to realize they paty way to much for
most items in this game.
I routinely use 130k plus resources just to make
a chassis that sells for 300k

haha.... ok. What ever lets you sleep at night.


We don't charge that much. But SW do get screwed as do architects. Just dont come here and start trolling about your proffession. This is the AS boards.

Have a little sympathy. Obviously he was FORCED to be a shipwright, and had no choice in the matter. And it sucks about all those hides they have to use for their hulls. I really feel bad for them.

Sell 100 ships a day and pay 100cpu for those resources and then come talk.


My suits go for right around 300k for a suit. That's about 70cpu. Some of the resources did cost 100cpu. Some of them cost more. All of them were purchased. Miners and scouts know what is good so you aren't getting 990oq/900sr resources cheap even while they are still in ground. Yet my spices I sell for about 6cpu because I can get grind quality resources for 3.


No one is forcing you to sell your product for 2cpu. In fact I would say you are only hurting yourself. You can't say in business selling that cheaply. In any profession since this game launched there has always been someone willing to sell below cost. These people get a few sales, too many for them usually and they end up quitting their profession. This is true in AS, WS, DE etc.


SW is sadly the red headed stepchild of SWG. Space is cool as are the ships yet since such a small percentage of players actually fly SW doesn't see a huge business.

Theres just too many new resources used, and the armor won't even be good. So no point in make armor anymore.

The difference my good sir, is that as a shipwright, all your resources are mined with a harvestor. You dont have to depend on a scout/ranger to get you hides or meats. I also have a sw, and allthough I agree it takes alot of resources, its no wheres near as difficult as what we will have with the cu and the increase of organics.


SW requires about 100k of steel per run of weapons when I make them on chilly, and many can attest that I always carry some of the best on the server, but the point we are trying to make here, is its not the increase of general resources we find mind numbing, its the increase of organics that we depend on from another class who is now going to have trouble getting the resources.


So, please before you post, read about what we are complaining about and when you understand that, then you will understand what we are complaining about.
