Hello
I'm fiddling around with the character builder right now trying to find a good combo that goes well with BE. So far the results have been less than satisfactory.
Must haves as far as I see are scout 3000 (terrain negotiation, mask scent), artisan 0044 (harvest resources and vendor) and a good part of an elite combat profession like TKA. However, I'm always coming short on skillpoints. What template do you choose to go with your MBE?

If you want to make high level pets, I would recommend Master Scout because you need to sample high level creatures for DNA. The importance of +30 mask scent bonus should not be underestimated, and pick up +25 MS clothes and some Jawa beer also. Also I find /firstaid very handy, that is 5 points spent in Medic.
TK Meditation is very cool, but it takes so many skill points! I eventually gave up on it and get a Doc buff if I am going to sample creatures that disease or poison.
Making tissues and no pets should be simpler for the skill point puzzle. It is possible to search lairs for eggs while on a speeder. Of course you need /maskscent to be able to get milk.

I don't make pets, so I was able to drop most of the scout tree. I have just enough to get /maskscent.
Since most of my sales are special orders or standing orders, I don't have a vendor and get guildmates to run surveys for me.

the template I've ben useing for several months now and it works great for me is scout 4040 Master Be/Rifleman medic 3324. This allows me to creep up onmobs to sample them and then kill them if they agrro me. It also allows me to get my own meat which as most be's know is VERY usefull.

Here's my template:
Master BE
Swordsman - 4/4/4/4 (good for killing things and getting meat)
Artisian- 0/0/3/0 (for vendor)
Medic - 0/0/0/4
Scout - 4/0/4/0
That leaves me with no skill points left. I could drop exploration 4 in the scout tree to make master Swordsman, but I like having the extra +30 to maskscent that exploration 4 provides. But with 4/4/4/4 in swordsman, I haven't found anything I haven't been able to kill by myself (besides the big mobs like krayts). I think this is an excellent template. It allows me to craft and go on killing missions when I feel like it. I recommend other BE's go this route.

I'm planning to use the following template:
Scout 2040
Marksman 4000
Artisan 0004
Medic 1004
Mater Bio-Engineer and Master Rifleman
I will probably concentrate on Food Tissues and this template allows me to get all the resources I need myself.
Scout 2040
Marksman 4000
Artisan 0004
Medic 1004
Mater Bio-Engineer and Master Rifleman

Master BE
Master TK (get my own meat)
Brawler 4000 (for TKM)
Artisian 0000 (survey)
Medic 2014 (faster better healing)
Scout 4040 (mask scent)
I had a friend put a vendor up for me. Other than that I didn't need to rely on anyone for anything. Later I got a second account for the vendor. Medic at 2014 saved me a bunch till I got TKM. I guess I could drop it down to 0004 now and pick up something else (novice CH?).
FlyMoe's template looks very good if if you want to have your own vendor and no second account. If I had to do it over I might go that route, though meditation is cool to shed wounds.

Master Bio-Engineer
Master Pikeman
Medic 0044
Scout 3040
I don't do my own resource surveying, but this is a great template for meat gathering and collecting DNA.

Currently my MBE is:
MBE
Marksman 1/0/0/0
Medic 0/0/0/4
Master Scout
Ranger 0/0/3/0
Rifleman 4/0/0//4
Zero points left.
I am going to do FS with Vicara, so 24 points gotta come from somewhere.
I'll probably eventually change him over to:
MBE
Brawler 0/0/4/0
Medic 0/0/04
Scout 4/0/4/0
Swordsman 4/4/4/4
24 FS points
But get Master Swordsman until I gotta spend that 24th point.

Alot of people use MBE/MCH/Ranger 0030. This template is mostly for making/using creatures.

You'll never be able to do *everything* you need to be able to, so any tempalte will work fine as long as you have someone to fill in the gaps for you.
Eg. I have 2 BE's - my TC BE is BE/CH/Ranger and I ahve a merhcant toon to sell stuff for me and a friend helps me kill stuff to harvest meat.
On Farstar I'm a BE/Merchant/Entertainer, I harvest a little myself but mostly my boyfriend brings me dead things to show me that he loves me

My favourite BE Template was Master BE, Scout 4041, BH 0044 (Master Marksman req.), Medic 0004- because I like hunting meat and sampling DNA 
The LLC (BH weapon) is the best meat hunting boomstick by far, and the Bounty Pistols line gives you those extra damage types and mind-targetting that you need for humanoid mobs and PvP
Scout 4041 lets you sample MRs with +25 maskscent clothing and Jawa beer if they get twitchy. I rarely had to use the Jawa beer as long as I found a group of 3 to sample. The extra point in Survival was just so I could get my own fishing bait if I ever ran out *shrugs*
