I guess what I'm trying to say is directed at the people that say that so many professions are easy to master in just a couple of hours: Try doing it yourself, without friends giving you meat, without the millions of credits you probably have. It's not as easy as it looks, and it definitely isn't very fast.

Very doable by yourself, but you need a better combat profession. CH, until you hit a higher level is going to take far too long. Buffed with armor I can easily kill rancors solo (we're talking youths, gnarled and regular) and they give so much meat it's not even funny.

Millions of credits? no...I have less than 50k right now. Floras are not that expensive. Can buy power for one cr/unit of energy (or less) and 15k will give you more than a weeks worth of maintenance. You could get a VERY doable mission on Endor for..i dunno...8k ones are pretty easy, IMO. Plus, Endor has GREAT dna there. you could just dna sample everything and only harvest and kill what attacks you.

My suggestion, instead of grinding tissues...grind dna templates. Make dna templates from high level mobs. Find another BE who is willing to make practice creatures with your templates. The UXP is MAD MAD MAD (I almost wonder if it's a bug). Can make over 200xp for the template and a pack full will net you WELL over 5k if someone else uses your templates.

Bio-engineer is easy to master if you have the highest tolerance for boredom known by man. Getting the resources and such isn't hard, sampling isn't hard, it is just very time-consuming and boring beyond belief. Though once mastered, it is quite fun.

Just to backup that it's not a proffesion that needs millions of credits to grind. To all intensive purposes the flora side is free ( Use fusion power to power the flora farm(s) and sell the excess to pay your way ) and the meat I didn't find too bad to aquire. I didn't race to master but probably spent less than 100K on meat to get there. 5cpu is IMO expensive for trash meat btw, grinding meat IMO should be around 1-2cpu as it's generally stuff that's just being sampled as a result of grinding scout or combat.
