Why do you need scout? Just use a harvest droid...

On sunrunner its pretty standard 100 cpu for the avian ( the good stuff) ( I charge 20k a buff and people seem to have no problem with it) at least they dont spit at me or anything....

Heheh, and I thought my servers economy was screwed up. Our avian and herb meat sells for around 100cpu regularly, buffs sell for 10-12k. With the occasional chump trying to get 18-20k.

man... 100cpu would be heaven... we were paying 3-400cpu for a really nice spawn WHILE IT WAS IN SEASON.... till a few of the dr's made a union sort of and wouldnt pay more than 250cpu... listen to me.... 250cpu was supposed to be low.... LOL bria's economy is funny, and people still complain about payin more then 10k for a buff.

I have to agree about Eclipse being insane when it comes to buying meats for meds.
It always starts out at a minimum of 150-175 cpu for just pretty good stuff, and can go up to 400 cpu for the godly stuff. I honestly dont know who to blame... it could be that first doc that just has like80 million credits sitting around offering such a high price on a new spawn so they can get all the hunting contracts, or I it might be the rangers/hunters that decide to charge this much because they can make so much more running janta/mokk missions instead of out hunting boring lairs forless "pay". I think what they dont realize is that if Docs cant afford to pay them to hunt meat, then docs dont make buffs, and the hunters dont solo janta/mokk missions anymore without the buffs.
I have had to raise my prices on enhance packs due to this. I cannot afford to keep making meds with the prices of meat so high if I didnt.

just out of curiosity what have you had to raise them to?
I use a formula to determine my new prices.
Charges x Power x Duration / 12000
so for this last batch I made, its 28 x 947 x 12438 /12000 = 27483 per pack. rounded to eithe 27400 or 27500 depending on if Im in a good mood when stocking my vendor that day

you need novice scout to use the droid.

no ... i've been using mine from day one and as far as i know you always needed scout to use it .... makes sense really ... all it does it improves on your creature harvesting ... how can it improve on a mod that you don't have to begin with?

Services work off the same principle as goods--supply-and-demand. If the doctor charging 50K for a buff can fetch that price, then there must be a demand, and he providing the supply.

Stealth nerf? Ummm... it was designed and launched that way. There was never a time you could use without Novice Scout.
