once youve got all your harvestors down, its not a problem to tell other people where the stuff is. monopolizing the market becuase you didnt tell anyone about a rare spawn is one sure fire way to get a lot of people mad at you.

Totally Agree with Ragnaat. I paid close to 1k per use for survey droids and it was well worth my money.


And I'll bet swgcraft is going to implement reading the emails and updating automatically in the future, too.

The Reason you payed 100k for a T21 is cause A you don't let people nowhere a good site is(like 8 Large harvestors in one area is not a tipoff). And your WS is now having to pay 20CP for the reasouces causing him to raise his prices. However, If you publish the location AFTER you set YOUR harvestor(BTW swgcraft does not give WPS just Stats(wich you can get with a survey tool)) the though people can gather there too. The Shift rate is a Fixed Random Number set when the reasouce spawns and the number hof harvestors pulling it don't matter. Also within a Day of a good reasouce spawning anyone interested in it will know about it.






If we can convince SWGCraft to parse the text we get from the Survey droid (through the /mailsave command) it will be a snap to keep the site updated. Just Copy & Paste the body of the email into the Add Resource TextBox and submit.







They infact are all ready tested a page to do this very thing

I guess one of the reasons I don't get too concerned with this is the existence of the DENet on Ahazi.

We've never had a problem getting stats on anything (that was reported)....and on a near instant basis too.


I try not to let that cloud the issue though, cause I know that not everyone takes advantage of what the DENets can bring (but I wish they would...I think they are missing out).

I really hope that DE thats selling these droids for 250/usage isnt on Naritus. That price is crazy! 1000 cr per use is very fair. I have never gouged my customers, ever. 250 per use is just giving them away for nothing and makes us honest DE's look like crooks. Remember people, most players have no idea what it takes to craft in our profession. If one person is giving them away everyone else will want to know why we won't sell them for the same price.
