Is this the MA forum as well as the DE forum???

I don't think anywhere in the plan is the DE mentioned.....

So whats up, you guys still dreaming of the day the DE gets honorable mention....

Sorry.. /end rant.

DE's kinda have to be MA's to be effective.

It really is premature to be talking about prices tho'... I really doubt these are the final schematics.

More just a "lets get as many of them out there to test" temporary schematic.

Or I could be talking out my rear end...

At a rough guess, and after witnessing the mount launch, I'm going to guess something like

DAY ONE: Ten quadjillion credits

DAY TWO: ONE MILLION DOLLARS (yeah, it's been done)

DAY THREE: 3000cr. The bazaar will be packed with them.

I'm not saying they should be that cheap. I'm just saying "just try and stop it." At least it'll do a good job of getting fewer animals and more machines on the streets.

As for myself, I'm not planning to try to cash in at launch. I'd make some for my friends, except all my friends can make their own. If other people want me to make them something, they'll have to catch me.

How much are you willing to pay?

How much is everyone else willing to pay?

That's what they will cost.

So Master Artisans will be able to expieriment on their Durability to make them better. So thats how we market them.

Master Artisan Crafted Vehicles. Lasts longer than Engy4 Brand X.

I think Ill only sell them in Factory Crates of 25

Heh.

If they drop to the level where I can make em for less than 3k(credit value) then I may just start throwing em in with every droid purchase. Course that means my droid prices can go up... he he he he

They are getting bumped to Master Artisan.

are you kidding your selves, you know you are gonna sell them for over 100k just like a lot of the CH did when mounts came out.

Vehicles were just bumped up to Master Artisan and now require 10x the resources that they did before.

Lovely. So now DE's will be the primary supplier of them simply because we usually have Master Artisan.

As far as the cost, now that they cost a good 12k resources......they won't likely be going for less than 40-50k.

I don't mind the 10x bump in resource requirements. Vehicles are vehicles, all. We all know they should be among the most demanding of items to craft. It only makes sense.


And..on MA...

I grabbed the entire Business and Dom. Arts skills trees tonight in about 2 minutes from one guy (he musta been lovin' me...hehehehe).

Respectfully,

All this is sort of funny. Why you ask? Well the answer is simpleand is three words. Grind and friends. What do I mean. Since MA is so simple to grind to at least one friend of pretty every one that plays will have acces to some one that will make one for a reduced if not free price. Free I say? Free, when you provide the resources. That is cheap. Most servers have junk steel and Cu or some other nonferrous that is avalible on the bazar. NOw as for SR making a diffrence, it just means that the miners are gong to make more money since metals that were just grind metal now can be used to make some thing valuable. I see myself having a vehicle for under 1k on both of the servers I paly on on the first day. Why? Because I ahve friends that are MA or are grinding MA to amke vehicles. If they hadn't moved it to MA I'd make my own since I make and sell PUPs and have ENG 4 and Dom 4 to make the best I can. Now, you say that there will be people that don't have MA friends. Well those people are going to be newbies, casual players that solo, or Power gamers in a Good PA that has good MAs in them some where. MAs that are in a PA are going to be given a lot of resources to make vehicles. Why didn't this happen to mounts. Simple, how many MCH are there realy? Few compared to the number of MAs that can be ground out before the patch comes out. That and MA can be ground out in 4 hours. Yes, it can. I hate grinders but they are out there... ( grrr ) MCH takes more time for the simple killing and grinding aspect of the game. They out the mount command in the rarest trained skill branch. If they did that with vehicls they would have to put it in the Image designer tree some where. Now, for those that say ENG 4 is not high enough, Why can a player at ENG 3 make a miner? Do you realise how few people in real life could make the robot and equipment that is needed for an automated system that you have in out harvestors. Even the small ones? Do you realise how much some thing like that would be worth in the real world. It blows my mind how easy it is to make some of these things. I am an engineer and I wish I could make the things that are made in the ENG branch. I think it should be basic engineering and save the engineer title for the Elite proffesions.

/rant off

Sorry about that engineer stuff. Still think you DEs need more and that MA needs some thing but this realy doesn't sit right with me. Maybe a wheeled vehicl for MA and a speeder type vehicle for a new profession when the space expansion comes out would make me happy.
