Thread: New Armor Smiths Read a little info I learned
All depends on quality/supply/demand
same as always, and one server's demand is another's over supply selling for cheap
Also when I make layers 3 runs of1000 for every segment I make example below
9 factories running out 1000 layers each
3 factories running out 999 Segments each
1 factory running out 998 cores
Only way to get large runs of layered cores made. Takes roughly a week and chance to get up to the core run, hence the reason I'm setting up about 20+ factories to use (with a lot swap), so I can constantly be making more.
How do I have enough lots you mean?
Easy goto a trade forum for another galaxy and request a lot trade ie My 10 lots on Scylla for your 10 Intrepid lots
Usually get a response from someone to do the deal in very short order especially heavily populated servers such as Bria and Intrepid. Then once thats done you create a toon on their server and place whatever houses, harvesters, factories they want placed, and give them admin access to them. Then they come to your server and place whatever you need placed and they give you admin access to them. Basically one hand washes the other, you just can't use the account on the swapped server for much of anything is all. But then I barely have enough time to hang out on Tempest as it is lil lone hang out on other servers.
Result 10 factories that will always be there (unless the other guy deletes his account
)bad thing is that you can never move them or rename them after the deal is complete. Major upside though is the 10 factories for your use as well as your normal 10 lots to use as you see fit.

I did some math and the way I figure the cost of resources / factory time etc.
One full suit should cost 475k to 525k.
This means that individual parts should be about 65 to 75k each.
I too think this is high, however when you have a dozen or so NAMED reosurces, and what are we supposed to do. Lose creds?
Personally I run a shop and sell armor to make creds, not give them away.

Is That enough? I don't think its enough.
Any Armor Tips appreciated.
I think that's a huge amount of money for armor. I'm aiming for 400K a set on Valcyn. Trying to not break the bank on resources doing it however.
Try this....4 factorys....only way I can think of to EFFICIENTLY produce armor.
Factory 1: Layer Schematic 1
Factory 2: Layer Schematic 2
Factory 3: Layer Schematic 3
Factory 4: Layer Schematic 4

Run complete

Factory 1: Segment Schematic 1 (uses 1 layer from each factory)

Run complete

Factory 1: Core Schematic 1

You end up with ~~ 332 identical cores which can then be made into armor appearances at any time. This is what i'll probably be doing once my business gets going.
