Artisan Archive

I'm tossing around this template for a Prospector. I wanted to have an elite weapon profession, as well as the ability to provide some kind of useful service to the community. I play too casually to be a Weaponsmith, as I can either make weapons, or hunt resources, but I need to do both. But I've found I really enjoy hunting resources! Here's the layout I'm kicking around:

57 Artisan (Engineering IV, Business IV, Surveying IV)
38 Marksman (Pistol IV, Support III)
29 Scout (Exploration IV)
29 Architect (Furniture II, Installations IV)
34 Merchant (Advertising IV, Efficiency IV)
63 Pistoleer (Master)

Artisan - Need Engineering and Business for the elite professions, and Surveying is kind of important for a prospector.

Marksman - Pistol is for Pistoleer, and Support gives me Warning Shot, extemely useful ability.

Scout - I'm going to be travelling a lot, gonna need Exploration for all the running to be tolerable.

Architect - I need to be able to shell out Fusion Generators and Heavy Harvestors if I want to be able to excel at this, so there's Installations. I don't want to have to buy them. Furniture is honestly there because it's the best item I could find to grind off of: Furniture II has a cabinet that's 375 metal combine.

Merchant - Advertising to spread the word that I have a shop and get me a waypoint, and Efficiency to lower my operating expenses considerably.

Pistoleer - I like pistols a lot, this is the weapon I want to complete an elite profession for.

I'll be able to build a small house, and if I want more my brother is working on full architect so I can bother him for more. After hitting Installations IV, I might either change Furniture II to Buildings II so I can make medium houses. Or else put the nine points into Merchant (Hiring) so I can customize my vendor a bit more.

What do folks think of this idea? I feel like this will be a much more casual player friendly profession template.
