And do you find much demand for singles or just crates?

Mostly the demand is for crates. I stopped selling singles a long time ago though.


As for what type is most popular, I would have to say the MaxDamage/MinDamage and AttackSpeed/MindCost for Ranged.

For the ranged weapons I'd have to say that if you could make a 3 stat powerup that was one of the following it would be very popular:


Max Damage, Min Damage, Attack Speed


Point Blank attack mod, Ideal attack mod, maximum range attack mod


I've been experimenting but have not been able to make one just like that, although I did actually make one with 5 (yeah 5!) stat bonuses. Someone posted on these boards I think that there is no benefit to having more than two stats because the numbers still add up to the same, but that's not true. You can make a powerup that's +32, +16, +5 you just have to experiment with every single box one at a time. That's how I made the 5 stat powerups. It doesn't seem to help any if you get amazing success, just that you not get anything below great success. I made one powerup with 5 amazing successes and it was no better than one I made with all great successes.


I am a human master artisan BTW.

I am always looking for speed and min damage PUs for my Melle stuff. Ranged is good to have everything. Carbineers like to have PUs that reduce Action and other costs depending on the weapon. Every prof. really has differant needs in the ways of PUs. For instance TKM doesn't need speed but min/max damage is wonderfull, but a HS needs Speed and whatever else comes with it.

I sell boatloads of powerups (yes, I know there are no boats in SWG). People who want the best powerups in the galaxy Intrepid come to me. Here's a list of my most popular powerups:

Ranged
- max/min muzzles
- min/spd scopes
- spd/min grips

Melee
- mind, health, action, point blank mod for primary; max, min, or speed for secondary.

All of my powerups of 33/16 and most have a 3rd, 4th or 5th (very rare and difficult to come across) stat. For instance, I have some 33mind/16spd/8max melee powerups that are very popular. I just put out some 5-stat melee powerups as well (33/16/7/4/3).

My favourites as a customer are,

Max 30 Min 15 for pistols when I hit the speed cap; spd 30 min 15 if not.

Mind 30 + Min 15 with rifles,

and health or action 30 + speed 15 with melee weapons.


As for pricing, I think 2-3k is fair if it has 2 stats, 4k if 3 or 4 (they aren't that usually most of the time anyway.)

I never buy singles, only crates since a single one is used up in around 2-3 minutes. That's not really much, so I carry around 4-5 crates usually.

Hope I could help!

(edit) Cool, I've never seen a 5 stats powerup before
