Dolo I'm sure many appreciate your suggestion, but I have to say I'm not personally planning to follow suite. Even in your revised plan, you would be selling your Seekers for little more than 2.5cr per resource. I don't know about you, but I refuse to "give-away" my product for less than resource cost. I'd rather give up all my DE skills and just sell resources on the Bazaar.


The most logical way to fix this entire situation is not to try to match the terminal prices of old. Nor is it to up mission payout for BH's, though I understand some bug fixes are still in order. The best way to address the issue is to make the Seeker and Arakyd multiple-use items. We can make them at the current cost, charge our normal rates, and the BH's still keep their costs down to about where they were with the terminal sales.

I want to see seekers cost 1/5 the resources as Probes.. if they were 1/5th the price on the temp vendors they should require 1/5th the reources.

I'm not sure if I understood the question, but as far as I know you can make seekers first and then arakyds once you are more advanced. The easiest way to find this out is to hit ctrl+s in game, and search the blueprint skill boxes for the schematics gained


I am wondering about seeker/arakyd pricing too. Well, I don't even know if they already have multiple charges, or is that just on test center?


Please someone clear this up, thanks!

Personally, Seekers are 1k and Probes are 2k since there a PIA to make with the required MA components. If factories actually worked properly I could just make crates of them.

I sell seekers for 600 and arakyds for 1000. If I had to make all of them by hand, I don't think I would bother though, it takes too long. I have two factories running parts every day.

huh, thats funny. I couldn't sell more thanoneseeker droida week on Intrepid until I dropped my price down to 200 credits and I started at 400 credits. I thought this would be a fast moving item but it barely moves at all. I've gotten a few sales at 400 credits but not enough sales to provide adequate motivation to build more. Btb, the 200 credits was a move just to dump my stock of Seeker droids without using the detroy option.

I sell Arakyds for 1000cr and seekers for 500cr. If I sell on the bazaar I double those prices.

I was the lowest cost producer on Eclipse selling at 450-600 a seeker and 1000-1100 a probe. Now someone is selling seekers at 350. HeHe been wondering why nobody has visited me yesterday.

These are horribly low prices, I can't believe it. For 350 credits you're making the cost for a BH 35 credits per mission. That's equivalent to... why not just give the things away and save the BHs the trouble of having to talk to you. 200 credits per seeker was what the NPCs charged and even that was nothing in a BH's eyes.



Unbelieveable... 350 credits is maybe 1.5 credits/resource. If you're seeling them below 1000 credits.. you're NUTS. Here's a parallel for you crazy people:



A resource miner get 3-4 credits/resource. All he must do for this is find one spot; set harvestors; collect resource.


You are getting 1.5 credits/resource. All you have to do is find 6 spots; set harvestors on these 6 different types of resources; collect reources; have leveled up to Master Artisan; have leveled up in Droid Engineering; build the 3 components by hand or in factories; build the final product.



You're makingLESS than cost and not even getting experience for it (you're already a Master Artisan to even undertake this). Just makes me wonder what kind of...BLAH I'm done
