On the Bio Engineer forum they are discussing the selling of schematics and I thought it would be a great topic for the Artisan forum also. They were discussing if you sell them and how you felt about it in general. The selling of schematics is a practice that I follow. I break it down into two fees. Fee one is the schematic and fee two is for my expertise. I sell the schematics at twenty-five credits per unit produced and 1k per percent experimentation above 75%. This way I am being paid for my time, expertise, and talents.
1000 x 25cpu = 25k
Base quality = 75% After experimentation 95%
20 x 1k = 20k
Total cost of Schematic = 45k
I find that is makes me a nice side income anywhere from 300k-600k per month besides my other ventures. I even have a side-side business of building up resources and making an ok schematic with them and selling the schematic and the resources to make the end product to others. It is not detrimental to my business because of a loyal customer base and business diversity so I feel positive about the practice. If you are in a narrow line of product I would not suggest that you do it because you would put yourself out of business.

truth is i never really thought about it.
the only schematics i have ever sold were for the droid storage units (i might be forgetting the right name) when i was DE. Architects need them and anyone who wanted to make vehicle customization kits. I charged a flat rate of 1k for the schem since they weren't a big deal to do, so long as the customer brought their own materials. mostly that was just for me having to take the time out to make it and experiment a few times to max out the stats as best as possible.
its very cool that you found a nice little side business going

i would sell schematics if i was asked for one, for example synthetic cloths, or trim, shouldnt give your schematics away for free, that is like asking a gourmet chef to give away his recipes. if i were to sell one it would be based on how much a crate of that product is sold for, then mulitplied by 40, crate of synthetic cloth=25, priced at 2500, thats a total of 100,000 for a schematic of 1000.

If you put a schematic in a factory and you bought the schematic, does it show that it was created by "crafter" or the person that bought the scheme?
