Artisan Archive

I like making stuff in the game, and experimentation is fun, but it's all too cookie cutter to begin with for me. I don't like how everyone makes the same stuff before experimenting. Are there any items or schematics that are rare and unique? I would love to be able to analyze some of the loot I find so I can make it, it would be even better if said loot was outside of the skill tree.

It would also be nice to have different artisans have different item lists. Depending on which species you are, you might be able to make different specific items, or just make some items better, i.e. Trandoshans make better melee weapons than Calamari, or perhaps a species specific item(s).

As it is, the artisan profession is wholely lacking in spirit. There needs to be more variety. As it is, it is waaaay to uniform.

Well, this may not be quite what you're looking for, but while you're out harvesting resources or doing missions, stop by a group of rebels or empire and ask them for a job. Sometimes they'll ask you to craft an object, then give it to someone. It may be tedius, but you'll get the schematic in your general crafting section. If you abort the mission, you'll keep the schematic. Of course it may not do you much good if you can't craft the materials to go in it, but you'll still have it.
