2) you gain NO XP from MAKING a customization tool, and using it...

Atleast make my probot be able to take out a male plains tusk cat without any armor

Please let this thread die

wow, 5 months, and not much (er... anything?) has changed. Ch's have gone through more changes than you can shake a stick at. Dev's, at least acknowlege us with a big F'CK YOU!

I disagree that the XP requirements are excessive.

Being DE 0204 I have found the grind tedious but not unbearable. _Getting_
to 0204 was somewhat painful (having done it twice), but not inordinately
so. I made enough Master Artisan sales (resources, survey, and powerups)
to easily cover my costs through the grind to 0204. Right now my DE sales
largely support the DE grind.

I usually keep two steel harvesters and a chem harvester pulling up whatever
steel and fiberplast happens to be around. Sometimes I don't even put
power in them... just maintenance. Inefficient, but that's ok.. I'd rather
have fun doing other stuff than muck with harvesters or grinding all the time.

When I get in a DE fit I'll churn through 33k steel or so in a few days
just grinding... then I'll fall back to sleep.

As far as getting to Novice DE goes, I think the requirements are not
inappropriate. As I recall only WS exceeds DE general crafting requirement,
which makes some sense to me, given weapons are less modular and a bit more
specialized than droids are, and very complex.

My pace through the tree might be slow for some people. YMMV

Hmm been away and not looking at the forums for a while, and I know its late, but

Mullet - Corbantis

Hehe

Oh and I think doogiehozer, that architect uses more exp than DE, and DE uses mroe than WS. I remember passing AS and WS. Also, I have to say again that i dont think that protocol or repair droids should be able to fight. I dont know about you guys, butI remember 3PO saying "Im programmed for etiquette, not destruction!"

Actually, I don't think that the exp required is too harsh.

What I do think is too harsh is the fact that you get way more experience for macro making parts (see advanced droid frame) than for finished droids.

I don't mind DE being hard to master. It took me 2-1/2 months, working my way up by doing missions to buy hoppers to make droids and grind. It makes it an achievement to master.

But I agree that they system does need some work.

do jebus this thread is old. i thought i remember TH saying something about changing the XP requirements.

but I sure dislike petitions, they do nothing

i don't think its really any different from the other crafting proffesions. So you cant sell a mse? Next time you want a really good harvester are you going to ask a novice architect for a good ber harvester? are you going to ask a novice weaponsmith for a t-21? no, novices in all the elite crafting proffesions have hard times selling mse. I started de back in august and just now made MAster. Did i have fun? hell ya! Did i sell millions and millions of droids? no. Am i a millionare? no, BUT I HAD FUN. Dont just grind to grin, im also a novice rifleman, i only grinded while i was waiting on shuttles, the rest of the time i traveled from planet to planet joining hunting groups and having a great time. I kept my Novice De flag up and from time to time i would get a droid sale. I made more money in combat and most important I HAD A BLAST!
