I don't know if people just don't realize that droids can be healed yet, or if they just aren't paying attention that I have stims for sale on the same vendor.
Maybe it's my pricing. What are you all charging for a stim-B droid healing kit? I am charging 850 credits per stim with 21 charges and around 1200 heal power. I have yet to sell a stim kit though. I don't think I would bother making the things if 850 is too much for one. They are kind of a pain to make.

may just be people don't know about them yet. I've got poor quality D's (1400 heal and 28 uses) selling in crates of 10 and I'm almost out of my first run of 300. Some new resources spawned on the server so hopefully I can make some better ones (not sure how much better you need though).

I've found decent grade C's work well. I also tend to split up the crates into 5's and 10's. The 10's seem to be doing better than the 5's.

I can make Stim B's with around 1350 energy and Stim C's with around 1550 energy. The Stim C's are more difficult to make and require more rare resources, so I have to charge disproportionately more for them.
I might be overpriced. I've been asking 10k for 22-charge Stim B's and 15k for 24-charge Stim C's, both in crates of 10. I'm not selling a whole lot of either, but I've been assuming that's because very few people actually use Droids for serious combat where healing is necessary.

One thing I noticed is that the stims don't seem to show number of uses when you examine them on a vendor - at least, I didn't see it when i was first looking. This made me very wary of buying anything until I had a bit more background knowledge. Putting the heal amount, number of uses in the name might help - also, a fixed notice, either high priced item on the vendor or a renamed backpack or terminal or something next to it explaining what they are wouldn't hurt.

i havent looked to see if this was on any other the other posts yet but the reconstruction aka wound packs can only be used by DE's... am kinda pissed about that when a customer who bought 100k worth of the kits i had to buy it back from him cuz they didnt work for him.. but for the most part the stims seem to be selling.. i been splitting them in 25's and selling them for 10k, they been selling slooooowly but im tryin to advertise on the trade boards to get the owrd out so to speak.. i do like the backpack idea tho.. i might try that

I'm doing my first factory run of Stim B's right now.
Do the final stims come out in crates of 50 like the components? If so - nice feature. If only more droid stuff came in that quantity... 
Or at least Master Artisan chips...

I try to sell my Repair Kits D with one advanced component for 10C/R, that is 1250 for one repair Kit D.
In my opinion this is to cheap for all the work, but I have to be realistic. If they sell well, I may raise my prices up to 15C/R.

Wow, I gotta drop my prices then.
Shoot I figured with three subcomponents and the fact that they allow you to repair in the field they were worth a bit higher.
