Please cut and paste and give what you believe is the going rate on these. Then what extra you would charge for the optional modules:
- Crafting Modules
- Medical Modules
- Storage Modules
- Data Modules
I have no idea (thanks.. really useful, he says).
But.. my GCSE in Economics shall save the day:
Take the cost of the resources required to make the item, labour costs (a little extra for you), travel costs..
Whats the going rate of resources these days.. 2 credits/1?
MSE-6 - 250-500 credits, if that
although i was able to sell one for 2000 credits on the bazaar... i'd like to think that was a pity purchase
250-500 for a MSE? I bought mine for 1000 on Radiant, but I guess we need to support our entertainers and artisans...
I have been selling mine fro 200 a piece on Eclipse.
Honestly, I don't really make them for a profit. I am happy just to get the XP and a little money too cover the cost on my havesters. Having to make over 300 of them to get the next skill is insane and makes it virtaully impossible to avoid the grind.
MSE-6 mouse droid - About 200 to 300 credits. Might get 1000 to 2000 for ones with crafting stations or medical modules. Item and data storage modules still bugged so they are worthless.
Probot - Probably about 10K depending on its health and ability to deal out damage.
Probot Advance - Appoximately 15K.
All other droids have no useful function therefor have no market value. Unless you want a crafting station that just looks nice. But an MSE-6 does the same job much cheaper. Can't even sell these novelity droids to the junk dealers.
Guess Droid Engineers will quickly make the endangered species list...
What are you thinking, man? Sell crafter MSE droids for 5k, don't you realize how valuable they are? Especially seeing as how it will be the first thing you can really sell.
Another thing...An architect can make a house...but only a DE can make a crafting station for it. You are the SOLE provider of personal crating stations my fiend. That is a valuable service.
You are not the sole provider of personal crafting stations. I think any engineer can build the stationary kind you assemble and put in your houses.
You are, however, the sole provider of MOBILE crafting stations. So let that be a guide to your market. For instance, I'm a doctor, and I could really use the ability to craft in the field, so I'm going to want a medical droid that also serves as a food/chem crafting station.
That being said, can anybody recommend a droid schematic/component combination that will allow me to both craft and heal wherever I want? I know absolutely nothing about how many widgets you can install in a droid or what kind of schematics can use what add-ons, so any help would be appreciated.
"anybody recommend a droid schematic/component combination that will allow me to both craft and heal"
I'd like to know the answer to this as well. I'm hoping to become a novice Droid Engineer tonight.My buddy is playing a Doctor and is already asking me when I'll be able to make him a droid that will allow him to craft and heal in the field. Advice which skills to pursue first would be greatly appreciated.
