Hey all,

Please share in this thread your top three bugs/issues with the Artisan profession/crafting/etc. If it is a bug, please include steps to recreate the bug, if possible.


Bugs: Something that doesn't work right
Issues: Something that works right, but should work differently

Thanks,
Guru

I dont know of any bugs, but i wouldnt mind the Heavy Mineral Harvester being smaller, or being able to flatten the ground so that its easier to find a place to plant one with all the Player cities, hills, water, POIs, other harvs from 30 different people etc, in the way of planting all you need.

I would like to see the following three things... just off the top of my head :

1. When placing a building/harvester in an off limits area, have a designated colour on the ground... i.e. green for city limits, red for permanent non-building areas, blue for temporary off-limit areas (animal spawn points, etc), yellow for everything else. Possibly even slightly different shades to see what area is associated with what surrounding structures so if you needed to speak with someone about moving something over, you could know which structure was causing which blockage, etc.

2. PLEASE create some kind of marking system for structures of which area is the "front" when placing. This actually applies more towards helping people place bases and such, but sometimes I like to line up my solar generator or such... and have to place then remove till I get it right, or move the camera to eye ball it a bit better... once again, just a little simple something to make placing things aesthecially (or practically in terms of bases and such) a quick and easy experience.

3. I have enough characters and structures to where having to go pay maintance is a hassle, so I just let it withdraw from my bank... but it's a real hassle to constantly get emails saying that my structure is going to start withdrawing. It would be nice to be able to turn off this email notification.

That's the only three that have definitely been on my mind lately.

Oh... and is it possible to add ratings to the Vehicle deeds like there are on Haresters, weapons, armour, etc. ?

I'd love to be able to buy a 98% Swoop and know it's actually at 98%.

1. The V-35 is too slow.


2. The new vehicles need performance differences to make them more appealing. Looks alone are not what makes then desireable.


3. Vehicle Deeds should have something in the discription that tells the buyer what kind of durability the deed was crafted to, or maybe that AND the hit points (which is what is increased durring experamintation). It is shown on crafted ship blueprints, why not vehicles?

On the loading screen that talks about the new multi-passenger vehicles is says that the motor in V-35 is so powerful that if the drivers area was inclosed it could probably take you into orbit. That kind of statement should reflect the performance of the vehicle and it does NOT.

The new vehicles should have some performance related diferences that make them more usefull in different situations. Such as the AB-1 being less affected buy going up hill since it is smaller. The V-35 should be very fast on flat ground but greatly affected bu uneven terrain. The different looks will wear off just like fasions of clothing do and soon everyone will be back riding swoops because they are as fast as a AV-21 and a lot easier to get. Another Idea may be to make one or 2 of the vehicles like the AB-1 and V-35 have an ammor rating, making them better suited for areas with aggro MOBs so that you don't loose your vehicle every time you go to Dathomir.

1. Bug: BE clothing broken (at least i heard nothing saying it is fixed)
2. ?Bug?: BARC repairable from destroyed, even for free
3. Issue: Hybrid with MCombat prof and MArt. & Mcrafting prof only lvl 54... (come on, they dont even have stims for this lvl... ) imho one combat prof should get lvl 80, more just forother specials, mods etc...

(regarding to nr. 3, i think its rather unfair that lvl 80s get about 1.5 times the xp of the same Mob, slows down FS combat grind much for a Hybrid)

Regarding your third point - The BARC speeder is repairable at a garage like any other vehicle as intended. Once disabled, you must use a MA kit to repair it from disabled status. I've tested this, and you cannot pull it at a garage and repair from disabled this way. You have to use the kit we make for this.

not sure if these are Architect or an Artisan "Issues"

-- resource harvesters have 2 buttons which dispose of resources -- shouldn't the "Empty Harvester" button transfer the contents of the hopper to the character's inventory rather than offering to destroy it

-- harvesters are not properly shutting down when a resource 'dries up' -- the animation continues until you open, close then reopen the harvester operations window. supplimentary to this, how about having a harvester that runs out of power, maintenance or resource to collect send an email notice with a waypoint to the owner. (though with the auto-deduction from the bank now in place, maintenance isn't as much of an issue)

In regards to the redundant buttons, and improper shut downs, I have the same issues.
