Weapon power ups.
Im getting a little more sales now that my vendor is registered planet wise, and Ive sold more combat droids than anything else. My "utility" droids dont sell. My storage droids did OK, but my chem crafting/med droids, and my entire line of entertainment, from fully tricked R3's to adv MSE with only two modules in it are still sitting on my vendor. In fact they all fell off the other day and I had to spend time putting them back on. My bomb droids dont sell and my survey droids dont sell either.
But my poor assbly/experimentation rolls have really turned me off crafting. I can get a Probot to 99% of HAM and I have 107 rated combat modules, but since the last patch I can only get there once in about three or four attempts.

To be honest, I can't keep anything stocked. I had 85+ droids onone vendor4 days ago, logged in today and I had 15 and 7 of thosewere MSE structure Maint droids (guess those MSE maint droids are bad sellers).
By far, the best seller seems to be Medic/Doc R3's with 110 med, 10 Storage, 150 data, Ad Barking, Food/Chem craft and 1 Stim Dispensor.
Second would be 108 rated creature harvest R3's, but 108 is getting out of reach soon due to resuorces on Kauri.
Third and a close second are the Detonation droids, which I find I can't keep stocked anymore. Gotta raise prices.
Combat droids of all types and configurations sell well too. If I run out of R3's, people buy the probots, probots run out, people buy up the LE's. I just put up the last of the 550 combat rated probots I can make and priced them at 190Kto see if they sell. They aren't much better than my standard 528 probots, but they are super rare anymore so we will see what happens. Heck, people pay a million for a stupid extinct hat, why not 190K for an extinct droid that actually does something?
The droid that is the slowest seller are the Entertainer droids. They sell, but they move a lot slower.
Everything sells pretty well now. We still are never going to be as rich as the weapon smiths or armor smiths, but the new attention is welcome. Make anything that seems to be a good idea to you and it will sell, maybe too well.

Arakyd and Seeker droids!!! God bless I never decided to surrender Master Artisan! I mean, who here can live as a Master Droid Engineer without the ability to craft your own GP and Memory modules?
Either way, I've been a Master DE for 2 months now, what's making me rich are Seeker and Arakyd droids. I'm at the verge to consider dropping Master DE and staying a 0/0/3/4 DE because that's all you need to make good Seeker and Arakyd droids because they sell like hotcakes.
I don't know about you guys, but on kauri, but I'm making300k to 500k a day just by selling Arakyd and Seeker droids for 4500 credits a pop or 22500 credits a crate of 5. With this kind of money, who needs any other DE skill?
I know, I know, some of you are probably making millions of credits a day. That's not the point!!! I manufacture 1000 GP and memory modules in my factories, the next day I manufacture a couple hundreds of Arakyd and Seeker droids and sell'em at night.
I make 300k to 500k a day for less than15 minutes of gameplay and the only effort needed was to craft the schematics and use my mathetical skills (or calculator) to seperate the resources.

I own 6 droids 5 in use right now but here they are:
All of the following are suject to inaccuracies as i just own droids and ive never been a DE.
1Probot: maxed combat modules, armor
1 Probot: 1/2 trapping, 1/2 stim, storage, armor
1 R3: 1 combat module 5 autorepair modules, armor, storage
1 R3: with all the crafting modules installed, storage....
I cant remember what #5 is ill have to edit this post...
But I also have an R3 bomb droid deed, it was maxed out on how powerful it was. I had the absolute best resources used to craft everything todo with it. It is Detonation power 48. And ive yet to try it but i did spend 100k for it.......... maybe thats why i havn't tried the one time wonder droid yet! :-P

Wow! You paid 100k for a 48 power detonation R3?
No wonder I can't keep the 54 det. power R3s in stock for 57500!

My best sellers are bomb droids right now. Crates of 10 MSE Adv. with 36 DP for 50k, R3's with 51 DP for 60k, and R3's with 55 DP for 75k. I'm having a hell of a time keeping the latter two in stock.

I'm selling pretty much everything really.
Bounty Hunter droids are up though. I can't keep my 39 power MSE's on the shelves, crates of 10 are sellnig for 100k easy.
57 power R3's still move decent at 85k
We have recently had some good scout spawns, on my droid vendors planet, so I've been sellnig a lot of +107 Harvestors. Can't wait until my 109 batch is done, they should move well.

BH droids sell most frequently. but the profit margins are low.
The item I'm most happy with is the maxed out probot, with 5 combat modules, max armor and nearly max ham. They don't sell as frequently, but they do sell steadily and the profit margins are much higher.I charge 55k for a probotthat has the best quality combat modules in it. so just 20 sales means a million credits. and on a good week, Iwill sell 20 of them.
Another thing that sells a lot is cheap storage droids and newbie combat droids. I do factory runs of low quality combat modules, using my crap resources, and use them to make hundreds of cheap dz-70 combat droids. for those, I usuallydo one combat mod, a 10 item storage compartment, and no armor. that way the droiddoubles as a newbie combat droid and as a cheap storage droid. they aren't a huge profit, but they sell regularly. for new players it gives them something cheap to buy when they visit the vendor and realize they can't afford the high end droids yet. it's also a droid they'll be able to use even after they outgrow its combat abilities because of the storage compartment.
one other fairly regular sell is some sort of medic droid. it needs to at least have a 110% medical rating and a food/chem crafting station. I usually put it in an R3 chassis and throw in a storage compartment and 3 stimpack dispensors. those don't sell too fast, but the profit margins are high.
the other big droid that a lot of people want is the maxed out advanced R3 harvest droid. those are hard to do though, so I usually only do them as custom orders, but if you place them on a vendor and the rating is over 100, they'll sell and players are willing to pay obscene prices for them if they have the highest rating available on your server.
