If they made it require a lot of resources to paint a speeder....definitly not going to be worth it imo

Well if this is like vehicle publish...there will be artisians who cut the throat of everyone. I never planned on gouging prices of vehicles but didnt plan on losing either. I rarely make a vehicle now as i can sell the resources for 4-5 cr on bazaar instead. Most ppl now expect to pay less than 20k for swoop..thats a loss to me and not worth my time...as this probably will be too due to fellow artisians.

They are doing this all wrong.


First of all, garages should be player run, secondly players shouldnt be able to customize their own vehicles, it should be done only by master artisans, like a custom paintjob done by a garage..



Im pondering why they even bother to have professions in this game that does anything but kill objects.

NO KIDDING!!! The undercutting has gotten bad! I have been making HQ speeders since the start ( experimenting to the max and HQ resources) but I won't compete with peeps selling speeders for 2cpu.


After finding peeps shouting in front of the spaceport " 6k for any speeder type PST!!!"


The MOD Kits would be kewl, but game wise I would like to see a coop with DE's ( no I don't have a DE) I think it would add abit of realisim to the game and make the economy flow abit better. Bringing in Vehicle Powerups and Weapons (bringing DE's and WS's into the picture) kits would be a wise step in this lady's eyes.

dont be to happy about vehicle colors,



i am sure they make same mistake as they did with droid colors, means after 20 calls the color is gone!



if they do that that way u see first day alot different colored vehicles and after a week or 2 all same old style cause its not worth at all to color them and waste cash or resources :/


well in real life i never had to paint even an 10 year old car again, but in swg after 20 uses lol



i hope they would make customising colors perma then all would be fine, but guess thats a dream only :/

I agree with you, good sir.


The Devs don't play artisans. That's why we artisans get the shaft every time.

I'll be offering to Paint my customers Vehicles once for each Bike purchase. It'll be nice, and Get my name out there. These will be for sale right alongside my other stuff. Heres to Vehicles and resources selling, both things are helping make enough money to work. Just managed to buy my first fusion generator.

We want to play an economic-strategy game. It's just kinda hard right now with this village economy. We need a galactic economy where all merchants compete with each other across the galaxy. Then prices would stabalize and rationalize. Combat players could then buy the equipment they needed with no hassles, and economic players could compete in a true economy.


It's the dream...

Technically those are Vehicle "Customization" kits... not upgrade kits. Your not upgrading anything.

My .02cr on a few things:

"but if you can pay for a weapon that uses what say 150 units of resource in total for everything from 10 to 40k why should not we be able to do the same thing"
If you're a combat class anything that's not armor or weapon related is a luxury item, something you don't absolutely need.


"players shouldnt be able to customize their own vehicles, it should be done only by master artisans"
I agree with the "like a garage" part, but talk to any DE that's done lots of droid colorings. It's not exactly fun or a big money maker I bet.


Hmmm...maybe they can give the DEs a "shop droid" that can recolor things for you? Then the DEs can make paint refills for us to buy every 20 uses or so.

Only one problem with "flooding the market" with these kits... apparently only Master Artisans are able to use them..


So if you're a Master, prepare for /tell hell.
