Hello.


A little question I'm wondering ight now. Why don't we have DE mission terminal or a DE table on the arstisan terminal mission. We in artisan profession have little disconvenients that prevents us to be able to gain level in the profession following Artisan like DE, Architect ....


All these professions required specialized experience, this is good because it is the reality, we gain experience by creating droid parts, but in the same time this have a big disadvantage. I explain why.


If I look for example Entertainer, you choose for example to become musician, you "just" have to play solo or with a band, do flourishes ... when you finish what you need in entertainer or became a Master Entertainer, if you continue to musician, or dancing you continue to gain expeience in exactly the same way.


This is the same thing for combat profession, for example Teras Kasi starts with Brawler, and in the same way when they reach Unarmed IV and can start Novice Teras Kasi, it still the same kind of experience.


So because of this difference in the way of gaining experience I think we are a bit less helped than in other profession, because you can earn money easily by doing mission, because musician mission can be usefull for musician and entertainers ...the same for combat missions that are giving money and exp for all combat profession, just have to use the kind of combat that provides the experience you need. So the biggest problem is that without DE missions, it cost many ressources to create droid, so you need money, this is not the case for the non artisan profession where you really have to spend money to improve in the profession.


That's all and it explains wellI think my request of DE Missions that would help us a little.


I hope I did not make too much mistakes (I'm French)

This is a good idea


There are similar things in the game already


I declared Imperial last night and, on my way to empty the harvesters, I stumbled across a group of purple pointers on the map, so I thought I wouldgo and have a look


There were 3 imp droids and 2 imp people, all dancing away to each other. I conversed with one and got an Imperial crafting mission, something about an AT-AT neck component


so, not only can the system deal out the correctly factioned mission, It could also tell that I was a crafter


maybe it was a coincidence but I was amazed that I gota mission that I coulddo. I have very little fighting skill and always die on these Ad-Hoc missions you see dotted around the place as they are 99% of the time, all down to fighting stuff


DE missions can't be too hard surely. Though, saying that, Artisan is all too easy to master, (and inviting too due to the high mission payout), one could do it for free if needed (eventually). Maybe DE is designed to be the Elite Elite Profession that you have to really work at. MDE is a lot of fiberplast and steel
