Alright I have a swamp Gurrcat called Buffy. . and a Choku called Xander. . but dangit I need a Willow (Buffythe Vampire slayer fan here), problem is I can't find anything that seems well .. Willowish Don't care about hams. . or Resists or anything this group is only for show. . and my own personal satuisfaction. . so I'am going for looks. . I was thinking a Bird of some sort. . but Peko's and Lanterns get to big .. rasps and such are rather small. . though some are pretty. . any suggestions on a fairly unique good looking creature that seems Willowish to anyone .. I know there has to be other Buffy fans out there somewhere. .
Also. . I got a Crystal snake called Clarity. . I need something to call Focus. . any suggestions ? this one should as least have decent hamsand resists if possible tohugh I's also like something fairly good looking

There's a bird on Yavin4 that would probably be a good size. I think it's the Whisper Bird.

Our city recently got its shuttleport and therefor have been seeing nearly triple the visitors. I'm having a really hard time keepin up with my vendors and customer orders (I'm also an architect). I was wondering how the rest of you guys schedule your play time. And also how you turn down custom orders. I really am swamped and stressed beyong belief, plz help! LOL

A couple things I do to keep myself from going insane(ok,more insane):
1) Set aside a time every 2-3 days to just restock. When the time comes, I *only* restock. I put up my AFK message saying to email me if you need me, and that I'll get back to them after a bit. I have a second house next door to my shop, and that's where I craft. It's private, so no one can walk in and ask for anything.
2) If I'm bogged down with Custom Orders, I don't turn more away. BUT, I let them know that it will be say, 2 days before I can get to their order, and explain why. If they need it right then, they'll have to make do with what's on my vendors, or shop elsewhere. On occasion, if it's 1 easy item, I'll stop and make 2 and throw it on vendor for them. Give yourself time for orders, especially BE ones. Nothing is worse than a customer who expects you to drop everything and make something for them, and I'd most likely not have their businessanyways if they're demanding like that. I need less headaches, not more! hehe Personally, if I'm restocking, and it's a customer I know well, I'll make what they need right then if it's not complex.
3) I also took some time to sit and factory run basic clothing that I sell out fast of. Like Black Uniform Boots, Black Muscle Tees, etc. I run off say, 50 of them at once. Then, to save myself time restocking them, I can just rip a few out of the crates and throw them on the vendor. So much better than having to hand-make 5 of them every other day.
4) I don't usually wait for people to come hand pick-up orders. I did it for a long time, and it only seemed to make me more behind. I use my Custom Order vendor. When their order is done, I place the items in a Travel Pack. Then I rename the pack with their name on it like "Amanda's Order"(I also use HTML codes to color the type on the pack so it sticks out on the vendor for them, and if I have multiple order packs on there, I use a different color type for each one). I throw the whole pack on my CO vendor, and email them to let them know it is there. Then they can pick it up at their leisure.
Of course, depending on your workload, these might not work for you. But I think the basic advice is the same. Don't drive yourself nuts bending over backwards. It makes you burnout fast. If you're swamped, feel free to let people know you're scrunched for time, but that you'll get to them as soon as possible. Most people are understanding. Most of my repeat customers never rush me. They're also the ones that I do go out of my way for...because they don't demand it.
If you really have to turn orders down, do explain why. Like if you're going on vacation or you know you won't have time online long enough. If they say they'll wait, then just give them a good timeframe for *you*. If you need a week, take a week. If they need their order sooner, I usually offer them a couple of other tailor's names that I know are good ones. If they appreciate it, they'll come back to you first in the future. If not, well, another tailor gets more business and good deeds have been done.
Sorry,I'm long-winded. Hopefully some of this helps though. Good luck!

For custom orders in packs, make your buying policy clear.
If someone buys someone else's special order, I ban him without question, and do not refund.
I also make "decoy packs" with random names on them. If someone buys a decoy pack, I ban him and do not refund his money.
I have a conspicuous pack that states **DO NOT BUY CUSTOM ORDERS THAT DO NOT BELONG TO YOU** which details my ban/no refund policy (but does not mention decoy packs.
Once some idiot bought 2 decoy packs in a row. Thank you for the 60k. Ban.

I usually tell my costumers that I will have their orders ready by the next day...Saves me alot of time even if I get several costumers at the same day. I get time to figure out whatI can do by hand, and what would be easier to run in a factory, what takes the least time, and what takes the most time.

Since you are a MBH, you can get really cool NPC missions now, that have a small chance of dropping nice loot for kinetic damage weapons. (i.e. the scatter and FW FWG5) run those missions until you get some, then follow badgemakers advice on buying crafting and slicing pistols. then get cm 4/0/0/0. ONLY use bacta shot unless it is an absolute emergency, the advanced heals of cm root you for a sec.

I recently came back to the game and was a MBH, MP when I left. How is MP since the CU? How is MBH,MP in PvP?
Any suggestions or ideas to help a returning player would be appreciated...=) I loved my pistols too much to give them up. I hope the CU made MP a viable option.
