Thread: Back to the disabled Barc
It will be nice to start selling those BARC Repair kits that I have just sitting in my bank box right now...

Anyone know if the bug that allows Barc owners to repair a disabled Barc at any garage has been fixed?
I don't see any Barc repair kits on any bazaars or vendors on Valcyn. I made a bunch and have 2 in my vendor but they don't sell. Used to be a hot Artisan item.
please understand this is coming from a fellow Artisan, but I do not see them fixing it anytime soon if ever. how many of you still have the deed in your pack or bank with the yacht that allows you to make more than one. the broken, AGAIN recycler sub components. I have lost even MORE belief that they want to fix what is in game. something tells me they are more concerned with the idea of more content, that will be bugged, then making a stable game.

Uhm... The Yacht Deed that allows the creation of more then one Yacht was a feature that was always to be present. It is a reward item that you can always bring back to being if you needed/wanted to.

Are you sure this is a bug? The code to fix a disabled Barc would have to be added in special, since normal vehicles can not be fixed once disabled. In other words... I doubt very highly this is a bug. Bugs don't generally add new features to existing code. The only way that the garage could possibly repair a disabled Barc would be if some developer sat down and changed the functioning of the garage.
Having said that, Barc repair kits do sell very well. My friend cannot keep them in stock. The repair kit allows you to fix a disabled Barc even if you are in the middle of nowwhere (like on the way to or from the FS villiage). They are quite valuable and I keep one in my backpack with me. If you are not able to sell them either your price is too high or your marketing strategy is flawed.
The repair kit code is probably hooked into the same code that powers the garages.
2) If they did put it in, there's no way in the world they wouldn't take the opportunity to make it a huge money sink.
The fact that it's free is probably the single biggest indicator that it is indeed a bug.
if (barc.damage = 0) { doSomething(); }
in C instead of
if (barc.damage == 0) { doSomething(); }
Just a theory and it's probably slightly more complex than this, as damaged but not disabled BARCs don't give the same messages and there's a cost associated. Anyway, it's clear that it really is a bug just based on the weird system message, but honestly, it's really a low-priority problem compared to all the other insanity we all deal with. Personally, the blue ?'s over just about every freakin' NPC's head bothers me much more.

Doubtful. The Total Experience is being advertised for noobs to SWG. A Noob getting used to the game gets his Barc blown up, then is required to pay upwards of 100k or more for a repair kit?
The Barc being fixed in garages is a feature and I doubt they will be removed anytime soon...there are more pressing matters in the game....
