either...


1. make colorizations last indefinatly (until the owner wants a new color) but these colorizations can only be done by master artisans.



or


2. make colorizations fade but allow anyone to colorize; however, the kits can only be made by master artisans and have limited or just asingle charge(s).

For pretty much all the reasons that have been listed.


If you're a Master Artisan you're probably master in another crafting profession and you probably have harvestors too. My point is crafters have a lot to do already and already have a lot of player interaction through custom orders, resource dealing, etc...


This would just add one more thing to have to do and would consume a great deal of time. I think it would work fine to allow players to customize their vehicles, especially since the paint job is not permanent.

It's got to be more than 20 calls though, people do that in a day sometimes, between normally wanting to store it, and servers deciding to store it.


Jump it up to 100-150 or so.


I won't start on the DE customization tool for droids and their coloring

Tell me this isnt true-





Current Schematic


12 metal
9 mineral
6 mineral
1 control unit (10 metal, 10 polymer, 5 Low grade Ore, 3 Copper, 3 Inert gas)
1 droid storage compartment (23 metal)


Total resources: 81 (45 metal, 15 mineral, 10 polymer, 5 Low grade Ore, 3 Copper, 3 Inert gas)






A Droid Storage module??!?! umm.... why? It takes nonferrous and ferrous (2 ingredients) to craft a vehicle.... the PAINT is going to more complex than the actual VEHICLE?


12 metal, 9 mineral and 6gas Makes more sense than that other stuff.... its paint. It goes on a car that i made, why do i need a DE to make a storage compartment so i can paint a vehicle that I made?


Do DE"s really like the idea of having to supply me with the Droid Storage Compartments? With option #1 you wanted the Master Artisan to paint the vehicle so that another artisan can mass produce the kits and outsell everyone else. Do you not realize that every TRUE droid engineer is also a Master Artisan due to the dependancy on Master Artisan crafables? Cant you see where a DE/MA now has the ability to capture the entire vehicle market?

Just another master artisian going with option 2.


I will make the kits, but as an architect as well as master artisian I have monetary needs for all my harvesters, and standing around painting cars isn't going to pay the maintenance. Making a factory run of kits and selling them on the market.... that may pay for a harvester or two, and it will give me the time I need to do missions, sample resources, or craft things for people so that I can pay for the rest of them.

Option 2


I don't want the hassle of people constantly bothering me for paint jobs, then have to go through "getting it right". Let us make and sell the kits, let the players tweak their own colors.

Fix the economy and give crafters their $$$ worth... give us real revamp.

(oh I am a MA as well as MWS, those darn power conditioners and control units are just annoying, plus I get to make myself cheap vehicles and it looks like colour them as well but I hope not, I might switch my title to MWS to avoid the tells )!

anyone should be able to use the artisan created tool to change the vehicle, this is great content weve looked forward to (i want a nonrebel vehicle) for quite a while. having to track down a master artisan to color your vehicle is a pain and many people would not take advantage of the content.

IF they work as well as the droid customization Kits, then PLEASE, make it so everyone can use them. As a MDE and MA, I would prefer new things to craft and sell than be bothered by people to provide a customization that will fade after several uses.

Door #2. Reason being that Master Artisan already make the vehicles and will be making the customization tool. That is alot for them, and I know from experience that I wouldn't want to be bothered every 10 min by someone wanting to re-paint their swoop bikes.
