What should I be making at this stage and what should I be making when I start into the droid building profession?

Well, first off start making harvesters now.... you get 500xp for each and if you have the resources you could make novice droid engineer in 1/2 an hour!

Here's the biggest secret of what to make to get the furthest quickest: make the things that take the most resources.

And you're going for Droid Engineer? Get used to the slow grind. Example: When you get there, you will have the ability to make MSE Droids. These grant something like 60 XP each. I think you need 48,000 XP to get to level 1 of anything. You can do the math. I'll give you an early welcome on the worst grinding profession of them all. Hope ya got lots of patience and time. I'll let you in on something though. Work up the Droid Bluprints tree first. When you get to Master Droid Blueprints, you're almost home free. You gain the BLL Loader schematic, which gives you 4000+ XP each. 200 of those and you're done. But...they take lots of components and lots of resources so plan on mining and mass factory-handling for about 2 weeks before you go for it.
