no one seems to be making them anymore!


My swoop looks like someone used sandpaper on it too. It's a sort of nastywhitish grey color. I have been looking around for a kit when I am out resource shopping, but so far I have not found a single one. Has everyone stopped making these things?

On Chimaera I know at least that some people are still making them. You could make a search for master artisans and ask them if they have them stocked or if they know anyone stocking them, or perhaps even if they are willing to do an order for you.

Now that they've finally started selling, I've got to make more.

I made 1000 on the day they came out and I'm just now beginning to run out of them.

I use these kinda as a ploy, I know not many people make them so I make really good ones and sell them really cheap on one of my vendors at my shop. The word is slowly geting around that I have them and it draws in customers who sometimes browse and buy my resources

I make them, and sell them (on Scylla), and I try to keep a constant stock of high-end ones (more charges).


I have however bumped the prices up from the old 150c, due to the fact that people need to purchase them 10x less to keep their vehicle looking spiffy. But it's a give and take. I charge more, but they don't get bought as often even at the lower price. But the customers are happy even with the price increase (I've polled several of them) because they can buy 2 and not have to come back for over a month. That they are happy makes me happy, but at the same time that's repeat business spread out over quite a length of time. I welcome them back, just wish it was more frequently lol.

I haven't seen one on Corbantis since two weeks after I started. The sad part is that I am getting used to riding around onmy "white elephant". Looks like my RLcar doeswhen it's coveredwith salt spray in December.

They are pretty rare on flurry. I keep some stocked on all my vendors, and sell quite a few each day... even at 3000 creds for a 9 use kit

I built some on Lowca. If anyone needs any, just send 'Satis' an email or tell and I'll give you my coords. The problem I'm running into is getting ahold of droid storage units. But I know an up-and-coming DE. Maybe I'll hook him up with a factory and control units in exchange for a couple crates.

I've been selling quite a few on Lowca. Those and armor repair tools are my biggest sellers.

I've yet to see much of a drop in sales in Vehicle Maint. Kits myself. I try to keep My vendor stocked, though there are times where the occasional person will show up and nearly buy me out ( usually snagging around 10 - 20 of them ). So I really can't say that buisness is slowing at all for me.

the reason I reckon artisans usually don't bother with Vehicle Customization Kits is because it requires a component made by a Droid Engineer..


I don't get it.. you're smart enough to create a vehicle that hovers off the ground, and fly.. and thats no mean feat..


but you need to be smarter still to make... paint?

Could you ship some to Corbantis via IGPS?
