I'm trying to see if I want to continue this profession or cancel the account. Here's what I have come up with as viable things to make and sell post-CU. Add or subtract at will.

Combat Droid

Harvesting Droid - for solo

Astromech

Flight computers

BH Bomb Droids

Crafting Droids - at least until all the crafters leave

Maintenance Droids

Merchant Barkers

I've been thinking about this too. The combat droids remain to be seen.... with the level system and the problems with the hate system, I'm skeptical about the usefulness of these droids. There certainly is the potential that these will be valuable but, frankly, I don't think I'm going to be selling any more of these than I do currently. In other words, I don't think any increase in the sale of combat droids post CU will make up for the loss of other valuable droids. I don't think maintenance droids are at all valuable since the changes to how structures are paid for and I've seen a drop in merchant droids post GVS. So I see us being left with:

Low-end utility droids = Seekers, Arakyds, Flight Computers, Astromechs

Combat droids (?)

Harvesting droids (?)

Bomb Droids (if tolium ever spawns again)

Entertainer & Crafting Droids

Two of my personal biggest sellers, Medical Droids and Tank Droids (with auto-repair) are now worthless. I'm getting kinda depressed...

Maint droid is pretty much useless with rent coming directly out of bank accounts.

Barkers are pretty much useless as well, due to the Global Vendor search.

Now that crafters are very vulnerable when out doing things like placing harvesters, one of the reccomendations I read somewhere (might have even been from an SOE type) was to group with a combat droid. If I recall correctly, they even mentioned something about the combat droids being much more effective than they are now. Might be worth looking into. I know I have two combat droids in my datapad: one for damage (bought specifically to take down the phase 3 melee accuracy quest turrets through the shields) and one non-XP stealing Probot for tanking (1 point-per-hit). If I remember to, I'll try them out tonight and post my findings here.

(P.S. I'm considering DE for my alt, so I have a vested interest in the results as well)

Along these same lines, what about the various chassis styles...

BLL - to little bang for the buck

Protocol - Nice chassis, but was previously mainly used for merchant barker

Probot - TBD - it's viability will depend on the combat functionality

LE Repair -

DZ70 - I've only used these for entertainer "disco balls"

Power Droid -

R2 - What's the point? If you are going to build these, might as well do R3

R4 & R5 - Astromech use us good, but not much else

Surgical Droid -

Treadwell Droid -

The blanksare chassis I have never made or focused on. That said, with the usefulness of certain modules, the only chassis I see really worth making, except on special request, is R3 and MSE ADV (for bomb droids). If anyone has any other ideas, please let me know.

Dont forget the Entys!! The ones that stay in the game are pretty much going to be the ones that love their prof, and since mastering I think I've sold more effects and playback droids then anything else...the playback droids are actualy quite cool, I might have to pick up some musician so I can play with one

Combat Droid

~~Harvesting Droid - for solo~~ Bugged, didnt sell a single one after they broke them

Astromech never bothered with them, why use a astromech if a FC does the job

Flight computers Almost non-existant

~~BH Bomb Droids~~ Currently broken

Crafting Droids - at least until all the crafters leave No crafters left it seems...

~~Maintenance Droids~~ Automated cash deduction

~~Merchant Barkers~~ GVS

Entertainer droids (in theorie)
Seeker/Arakyds(with all the MA parts a bother to make)

Infinity:
