I wanted to find out, before I went through the grinding and the long, hard work of becoming a DE, is there going to be some good droids that we can make? Like, combat droids?

And to add to that...how about me, a noob who worked my way to novice DE only to have someone come up to me out of the blue and say " I feel sorry for you" and I ask " why?" and they say " because DE is so screwed up !! that they gave up and created a new character". What do I do? Hang in? or start over?

What is coming? I'm really interested. I ask because I am currently a novice DE with little experience. I'm goind to hang, but it would be a lot easier if we had some good news. Secondly, what is a good price list from the start? Or should I just wiat until I get master before I start selling? Any help would be appreciated.

Great post. I'm finding it very helpful. I did notice one thing. This statement in the guide:

"Because of the costs to re-deed a personal harvester, it's usually cheaper to just make a new one and destroy the current one when a resource runs out."

Is not correct. The cost to redeed the harvester is a static cost that you only have to pay once. Its not really a cost at all because when you re-place the harvester later, you get the"redeed expense"returned to youbecause it's still in the harvester's maintanence pool. Even if you think of it as a cost, its still cheaper to redeed it because its a one time cost. Effectively, if when you first build the harvester, you put the extra maintainence required to redeed in the maintainence pool, and then you never let the maintanence go below the amount required to redeed, then you never have to pay that "redeed cost" again. And if at any time in the future you let that harvester run to zero maintanence, you'll end up getting the entire cost back and won't have actually payed any "redeed cost" at all. Unless, I'm missing something.

In the long run, redeeding the harvester is a lot cheeper than rebuilding a new one every time. Then again, rebuilding new ones is one of the best ways to get XP as you approach master artisan anyway,so you're probably going to build a new one either way.

well allot in a few months, if your new to the game, it takes a ton of resources etc to get DE done, while i flew threw it in 2days, macros and ton of resources, i have been in game forever and am rich as a ... well u get the idea, I finally retired my bh and now am a master DE... you came in at a good time, first off, the latest revamp was really nice, while there are again more bugs.,.. (like that ever changes) there is yet MORE in the horizon! that's right, have a look at the latest pcgamer, in a article relating to the new space expansion coming out , was the mention of needing droids to repair and regulate shield rotations etc on ships, that means more business! woot! so yes, it's worth while, but let me warn you now... if you have crafted in other games and know the grind then you will be fine, if you didnt like it and gave up quickly DE is not for you, if you ask me its the hardest crafting proffesion to grind.

However, if your like me, i am doing it for the pure love of the "droid" .. and enjoy tinkering and producing them... while i don't need the cash, it is fun to do now and to break my time, I have taken up creature handler for fun till starship design comes out, then i will go de/sd if its possible, sadly wasn't what i wanted to do, but im going to be one of those guys that don't rape the general public when they first come out , I will make profits like i do now, but im not charge 70k for a combat droid, lol thats just dumb.

" What if someone made a game where you were guaranteed to always win, Where you could have better equipment always then your enemy? That would be a single player game, and this is multi-player. Its not about adapting to the sistuation and winning because your better, or smarter, or more skilled, not because you have a nuke and the other guy has a slingshot. It's the ability to prevail despite your sistuation that determines the real winners. If it's handed to you all the time, it don't mean anything."==DOC producer/CRS of Cornered Rat Software.=========
