I have been perusing the forums here for a while, looking for this bit of information and I cant seem to find much on this particular subject. I want to be a provider of goods to artisans that want to buy minerals, radioactivity, etc. My problem right now is I dont really know like what combination of qualities in any material type is best. For example:
I found some Steel that has UT 957, SR 949, and HR 913. Now I am unsure if those combinations are used in any schematics that are used frequently enough for me to go place a mining installation, and gather that resource then try to sell it. Obviously I am new to this, but I dont want to become an artisan / weapon smith / armor smith to understand these combinations to fill this need (and make some money).
Is there a resource that says like "Most weapon smiths need copper with high (FILL IN BLANK HERE)" and "Most armor smiths need iron with high (FILL IN THE BLANK HERE)".
Where the blanks would be filled with things like a combination of Overall Quality, Malleability and Conductivity. This way if I found a resource that fit that bill, I would know to plant down a few harvesters and get to it.
Thanks in advance for any information!

Hmm well I would refere you to this site.. where I have been helped alot in that exact problem area..
http://www.swgcraft.com/
I hope this will help you.
But the quick way to get somewhere in your endavour, would be to locate some Crafters, and give samples of
the resources they will be needing, that way showing them what you can deliver..
Key : Get some, 1 or 2, customer(s) and they will refere you if you deliver HQ wares

Wow thats an excellent resource, it at least tells you whats the most used type of metals and irons, what they are used in, which schematics, etc. Also tells you what that schematic is looking for, Conductivity and OQ or whatever.
Thanks, thats a great starting point. :-)
Do you know of any types of iron and copper that sells all the time? Like most highly used, so I can focus on that for the short term while I digest that website? :-)
Thanks again.

Copper with high OQ and CD is a requirement for most ranged weapons crafting. Steel and iron with high SR and/or high UT is required for melee weapons. High OQ Polysteel Copper and Linksteel Aluminum are quite useful too. (The Linksteel Aluminun really needs high CD to be useful for weapons). High OQ polymer is required for many things too.
Weaponsmiths grinding FS crafting need Skevon Reactive Gas, Thoranium Steel and Hydron-3 Inert Gas. Quality makes no difference and the materials are all wasted anyway.

If i can point you to something else : http://swgman.sourceforge.net/
Install this little tool. It uses SWGcraft's data, and in the analyser, gives you the rating of each single ressource available in the game, based on what (OQ, PE, UT, MA, whatever) stats they have :-)

I really wish that SWGcraft had more data on it. The toolfrom the link in the above post does make the data that is on SWGcraft easier to use. I really wish we had a tool that would pull the data on resources from SWGs servers. Now THAT would be really usefull.

Ahh yes, but that would give us an "unfair advantage" 
Nice thought, but I HIGHLY doubt they would relent the current resources and their stats to us. Besides, they are all probably randomly generated
