OK...

My character:

RalRoth Kiliathus- Mon Calamari- Bria server- Corellia- Tyrena

Engineering 3

Survey- topped out

Wannabe Marksman (Advanced in Rifle and Carbine)

Wannabe Medic

Here are my questions...

1. What are the public crafting stations for if I have "field" crafters?

2. I have read mention of "experimental points". Do I get them? If so, when do I use them?

3. Is there any fast way to gain medic XP? I have been trying to heal people at the hospital when I can but it takes so long for a very small amount of XP.

4. Outside of missions, how can I make money? I have been doing a pretty good job of making money at missions, but I am getting bored with that (It's the ADD).

5. Any timeline on whenwe can actually fly the A-Wing instead of watch it buzz over Kol on Corellia?

6. Will I ever get the chance to build droideka?

7. When spacecraft finally come into game, what is a good field to be in to design and build them?

8. Is SOE going to implement a way to build custom spacecraft?

9. Is SOE going to implement a way to build custom weapons?

10. Hmmm... can't think of anything else off the top of my head... OK... Why is the sky blue?

Please excuse my mispellings... It's the ADD

Thought of another one...

What do I have to kill to get hides and bones?

1. What are the public crafting stations for if I have "field" crafters?

You can build more complex items and expirement with crafting stations very nearby. You don't "use" them, just stand near them and use a specialized crafting kit.

2. I have read mention of "experimental points". Do I get them? If so, when do I use them?

You should have a few already. You need to use a specialized crafting kit and be near a crafting station of the same type. Like a Weapon crafting kit at a weapon crafting station. Expirementing is how you make good items.

3. Is there any fast way to gain medic XP? I have been trying to heal people at the hospital when I can but it takes so long for a very small amount of XP.

That's the way it is

4. Outside of missions, how can I make money? I have been doing a pretty good job of making money at missions, but I am getting bored with that (It's the ADD).

Get some personal mineral extractors or windmills or something small and sell off what you get from those. Get bigger ones when you have a thicker wallet.

5. Any timeline on whenwe can actually fly the A-Wing instead of watch it buzz over Kol on Corellia?

Nope.

6. Will I ever get the chance to build droideka?

Who knows?

7. When spacecraft finally come into game, what is a good field to be in to design and build them?

They'll probably add something at that time. Rest assured it will be above engineering.

8. Is SOE going to implement a way to build custom spacecraft?

Too early to ask. Probably not very customized though. Color perhaps.

9. Is SOE going to implement a way to build custom weapons?

They already do... You can craft different looking barrels and scopes for pistols, and the stats all depend on resources used and expirementation. It's not going to get any more "custom" though.

10. Hmmm... can't think of anything else off the top of my head... OK... Why is the sky blue?

Sky's clear.

Kill any animals for bones and hides, but you need to be a scout to harvest them.

3. Is there any fast way to gain medic XP? I have been trying to heal people at the hospital when I can but it takes so long for a very small amount of XP.

Try using higher quality med packs

5. Any timeline on whenwe can actually fly the A-Wing instead of watch it buzz over Kol on Corellia?

Space expansion is _at least_ 12 month away (possibly slipping further the longer Player cities/mount/vehicles take)

6. Will I ever get the chance to build droideka?

Droid Engineers have been asking for this and the Devs have promised more droids - however I doubt these things will be anywhere near as powerful as they are in the films

7. When spacecraft finally come into game, what is a good field to be in to design and build them?

Reading between the lines of Holo's post on the speeders I expect there will be a new Elite profession at the top of the Artisan Engineering tree (Probably Vehicle Engineer).

8. Is SOE going to implement a way to build custom spacecraft?

Well its physical appearance wont be (very) customisable since the artwork has be done by the devs - the best you could hope for is a modular system that lets you put the hull together how you want it.

In terms of stats though I suspect the experimentation on the components or perhaps optional modules on the final buildwill determine how much you can cutomise it

Oh and youharvest hide and bone (and meat) from the corpse of any critter if you have Novice Scout (although the kind of critter and planet will determine the kind of hide/meat/bone and the size of critter and your Hunting skill will determine how much you harvest from each corpse)

I have a good question that just dawned on me a few minutes ago: Each planet on SWG has limited resources, correct? Now I assume there are enough resources to last a looooooooooong time, possibly longer than the game will exist...but theoretically, the entire game could run out of resources in the next five seconds. The question must be asked: What then? If no one can get resources, no one can make ANYTHING. If no one can make anything, no one can GET anything. If no one can get anything, no one will progress. The game will be over. So what will happen when there are no more resources? Will the devs put more in? But it says in the FAQ and Strategy Guide once resources are gone, they're gone forever. So, I repeat, what will happen then?
