Tell me your template, and I'll tell you how to make money
I am TKM and Master Commando at the moment. And will stay that until I unlock my Jedi

Again, melee classes always do well with missions on places like endor, as you can take on mobs easily, even with bad buffs.
Using commando, I'd suggest stuff like the Canyon Corsairs POI. Some good loot drops there, like colour crystals and loot kit parts. Colour crystals often fetch as much as 50-100k for Dark Reds and Dark Blues, and I sold an agitator motor schem looted from them for 2 million not long ago....
If you have JTL, it can be a real money spinner, and you don't even have to interact with other players at all to make cash!
Get to about 3322 pilot and head out to Red Sin Chimaera; hunt Deathwatch ships. They drop a decent amount of cash, but also drop ship parts. Don't forget that the ship chassis dealers also buy parts off you for 1k per part level (so level 6 parts sell for 6k each). I can usually make about 60k credits in maybe 30 minutes of flying, for no outlay at all! Even if you die in space, the rapairs are so damn cheap you will barely dent your profits

Hi!
I have now managed to use up my saved money on SWG.
And its at this point I realized that when devs nerfed solo hunting, I am screwd. The best missions are rancors (37-38k). You need a group to about 10 ppl, so 38000:10 is 3800. THAT IS TERRIBLE! A buff alone cost 15k and more. So I have to do about 5-6 mission to even be able to pay for my buff, not to mention actualy MAKING some money. I am not a doc, neither a crafter of any sort. So my main income was missions in solo groups. Now that this have been nerfed, and I have used up all the money, I am in big trouble.
I know many of you are going to say now. "You can always say good loot!" Well, sure. But the thing is to actualy get the loot it self. So I would not want that as my main income source. Then we have avian meat ofcourse, and other resourses I can sell, but I am an FS, so SP go to that, pluss I need an elite proffesion to do things, so simply dont have SP to get artisan to go and survey.
I belive I am not the only one that dont have spare SP, and dont have the inventory stuffed with uber loots, or other.
So how do you guys get money?
If you don't have enough imagination to figure out how to make money in SWG and just want to whine about how you can't because solo groups were nerfed, then maybe you shouldn't be wasting $15/month to play SWG.

You take one part MCH add some TKM mix in an ubese jacket/helmet/boots stir with a Ranocr and Bull Bantha........bake with 13k sharnaf missions on coranet that take about 10min a peice unbuffed w/out help from pets...................poof 20 minutes 24-26k no need for buffs or 200k+ uber comp......or 150K+ for a crate of brandy....................now you can subistute TKM for a ranged profession but it takes longer to bake say 40 min but you dont have to baste with armor at all but you do have to maridane with pet stims..............
Also take above recipe with another elite (not leet but pistol,carb.rifleman etc) and a dorid with the Rancor/Bantha and bake with 26-28k Mokk missions...........

12k Klikinik missions on Yavin dont even require a droid or pet, if you're limited to the ground game.
Since JtL space has paid for everything I do. They added some good missions at Yavin Station that can be done by a 2/2/2/2 pilot solo. Once you do the first couple, you can ask for "quick" work. This lets you take a Destroy Duty vs the Debris cultists. Tier 2-3 ships that it will take at most an hour to complete, if your ship's not that good. you can make 120k+ from the mission alone, double that for selling parts and the cred chip.
That is just one example of many. The game is designed to explore, you ought to do that, instead of simply relying on what other people have discovered while you had your head stuck up a sologroup.

Still going on about not making enough dough?
Do what the man said and go to Endor. I can pickup up 15k destroy missions all day long, and harvest enough hide to keep me in the green for some time.
and if you want it real easy, just head to a factional mission terminal and run 6k missions. For me as a rifleman those missions take only 2 headshots per kill and the time it takes to blow up the base. You could prolly do 100 of those in a cpl hours time, rack up about 11,000 faction points and about 600k credits, PLUS the credits (prolly be about another 20-40k credits) and the crap you loot off the NPCs.
No reason to claim poverty
But if you want to do what you are doing now, go right ahead, I like the peace and quiet of Endor, and not having all the yahoos running around like they do on Dantooine.
