Okay, not really, but think about the money to be made.


Us overpaid IT professionals pay the summer-off high school and college kids to do all the clicky-clicky levelling.


You know, I thought this game was supposed to be casual friendly. It's a real challenge to login every day or two to make sure my harvesters have maintenance, and woe unto me if I actually have to travel somewhere for some reason. My house, harvesters and factory would resolve themselves into a dew. And, when they nerf the simplicity of making money via missions, it's going to be even less fun.

even if you had everything paid off, you still have log in atleast once in the morning to make sure the resources havent shifted/depleted. So I agree most crafting professions on higher levels are certainly not casual gamer friendly.

I play on Starsider, we've had no resource shift in a month. It's a blessing more than a curse, though the area around Coronet looks like an industrial nightmare. Fields of Harvesters, I've seen them with my own eyes.


I say this now, publicly, knowing full well when I get home I'll have to move 7 harvesters because they finally DID shift. At which point, I'll get frustrated and probably go finish KOTOR instead... one planet left!

I've gotten totally jacked when the resources shift. I'm currently taking accelerated classes for my Masters degree, and am unable to play during the day, so the night before I got all my harvestors ready, set on the right resources and paid off for a few days, anticipating that I would log on when I got home and have enough resources for a full 2 to 3 hours of grinding. But low and behold I log on and my harvestors only collected a measely 800 units. The resources had shifted later that morning and I was not home to reset them.
So remember, always check your harvestors in the morning!!

Corbantis always does the resource shift around noon pacific time , so even if you checked in the morning its not going to help much..


They need Droids that can do everything for you but cost money to buy



Droids that will sample endlessly for the best resource you ask for


Droid that will place Harvesters on a spot over 80% for you


Droid that will put in the matniance and desposit the power


a driod that will empty the hooper and deliever the resources to your house or bank


Droids that will also help the harvester sample faster


Driods that will empty the power from the power plants take that power to the harvester and fill them up.


Driods that will protect these Farm Droids from Jawas combat body guards.



Thats what Droid engineers should be doing building Micro Managment like a Mini RTS game.

lol what if your droid ran half way across the planet for a resources and you have to go fetch it, that would be funny.
