Besides bug fixes lol. I just reactivated an old account for more lots for harvs and decided to keep it open and do DE on it instead of the toon I had been working on it with. This gives me the freedom to make this second account completely crafting only so besides MArt/MDE and some merchant I'm wondering what else would be a good........meaning fun.....crafting profession to go with it. I've never actually had any of the crafting professions before so I'm not sure which ones might be "fun" and which ones people put up with just because it's good money.

Well having MDE and MArt wouldn't leave you much points left to master a new one if you were thinking of Mastering Merchant.
My Droid Engineer has ....
- Master Droid Engineer
- Master Artisan
- Master Merchant
- Architect 0443
... and is down to 0 or 1 point left.
Useful skills would be ...
- Novice Armorsmith for the Battle Armor packs used to make the Droids Armor Modules
- Architect for the Crafting Stations to utilise the Droid Storage Units you can make and make the factories and houses you are gonna need to store all the components you are gonna end up with while you work
- For a sales boost suggestion either of the above portions (Armor, Housing) and Weaponsmith so you can make the other stuff in the game that has a better chance of selling well.
Other than that I guess the choice is yours ..

hehe, it can be .. my DE has almost 15mil now .. all from droids over the last couple of years .. most of the sales coming from astromechs and bounty hunter droids .. with a scattering of other droids but not been selling them since they messed up droids in Publish 18.
If there is a low count of DEs on your planet/server you should be able to make good money just making BH and Space droids.

lol thanks for the replies. I guess I should clarify a bit. I don't plan on mastering merchant. The plan was to master artisian, DE, and one other crafting profession dumping the rest into something like 2043 merchant. The only thing I want merchant for is some vendors.If it would be worth it I'd even do artisian, DE, other crafting profession, novice or 0001 (for example) merchant, and then the rest in other professions that could be usefull like 0001 architect for power droid module, the armorsmith box needed for armor segments, etc.Also I'm not really looking to DE for money, but for what seems like a challenging yet fun crafting profession. Challenging because of the complexity of droids and fun because I don't always have to worry about having uber resources except for certain modules. As far as DE population, I'm on Bria so I'm guessing it might be pretty high due to server population in general.

Hot dang, that's my template too. Well, I have 4.1.0.4 architect so I can make houses for the city and furnish them too. And I have novice entertainer to give me something to do when i get tired of staring at the crafting station.

I quit last September & came back in May. I was Master Artisan/Master DE & respecd all the combat skills I hadplus a few odds and end skills & went Master Shipwright with everything left going into merchant which gives me the -20% maint modifier plus enough vendors.
It also means I have the Droid/Pilot tie-in which is handy. My current best sellers (apart from BH droids!) are R5 Advanced astromechs with the data modules and a 10 item storage module.It also means I can supply myself with missile packs & ordnance as obviously space is the only combat I can get.

I like being Master DE, Master Artisan, Master Weaponsmith, Architect 4000 and Merchant 4001. This gives me enough vendors to make one for my droids, weapons, furniture and loot from my alt. Architect 4000 allows me to make all of the loot furniture in game and having Merchant 4001 allows me to use my Barker droids. This is a pretty fun template.

I have been a DE for more then a year now, and I have made over 150 million credits. Only now with these bugs, i am going to dabble in Architect.

Good with DE - Scotch and Water!
lol, you beat me to the sacrastic answer!
Another skill combo to consider is a Deathwatch Bunker template:
Master Artisan
Master Droid Engineer
Master Rifleman
This gives you a CL of 54, approximately 2200 health, the ability to wear reconaissance armor, weild and use specials for a rifle, and still be a functional Droid Engineer. I chose Creature Handler because as a wookiee, I can already weild an assault bowcaster and it allows me to wear heavier armor. That and I like pets.
