I can nothing but agree on the undead-fish thing.


Overpriced to say the least.

I can't even sell the droid for HALF of what's stated on that page.


Probot with two level 4 armor and level 6 medical and food-station for 30.000??
(add one level 6 armor instead and you land at 37.000!)
Is it even possible to sell at that level?

Araky Probe droid for 5.000 a pop?

OMG! I thought I would check this out and see what a fully loaded R3 would cost. $61,500 credits? $37,000 for an armor 6 adv probot with 2 lvl 6 modules? This is WAAAAYY over what I could ever get on Kauri. Shoot, I have a hard time selling any droids being only 700 meters from town. Most I have ever gotten off a loaded R3 is 35,000 and sales have dropped quite a bit over the past several weeks. I dropped the price again and still haven't sold any. I don't know if people have the droids they want and thats that or if they are waiting for the alluded too patch for Jan/Feb, or maybe the rebel / empire disfunction going on in game. The prices on that siteare quite a bit over inflated for Kauri. I am on the wrong server I guess. Thank goodness for powerups or I would be broke.

I don't think it's possible to set an iter-server price standard. Seems like the economic stregth of eachserver is relater, in large part, to it's population. Small servers like Kauri just can't compete with the big boys. Our Droids are luxury items, that is, they aren't a necessity like the weapons, structures, mounts, armor... Seems like Droids are usually purchased with the leftover credits.


I set my price list acording to what I would pay myself on my server. So my Advanced Droids go for 16 to 31k. I find it takes a LOT of work to get good sales (600K+/week profit).
