Droid Engineer Archive

Ok, tonight, I became a MDE. I've made a few sales of some crafting droids, a pretty nice probot and a sprikling of BH droids and batteries. I really haven't been promoting myself too much while I've been grinding but that is about to change. Over the next few weeks, I'll be decorating my shop and attempting to become a real shopkeeper.

My question is this, what resources should I be seeking out and hoarding? What sub-components should I be making in my factory to reduce the amount of time between being contacted for an order and delivery? I'm already a Master Artisan and have decided to dabble in architect now that the DE grind is done so those parts are not going to be a problem.

I'm still a little shaky on what parts require decent resources and experimentation and what don't and would be wasting my time and energy.

Thanks to everybody on this forum for the answers that helped me get through this with as little pain as possible.

Another thing I was wondering. Would any Starsider DE's be interested in forming a loose association? I'm not for price fixing or any other monopolistic practices but a small group that can inform each other of resource shifts and locations of needed materials, sagely advice for those who are new to the profession type information. I am an imperial but would not be adverse to associating with those of lesser political ideals.

I too made master DE sunday and would be willing to go into a loose association to help with general issues such as resource shifts and the like.

I think you'll find that on the rare type resources one of us will usually come here and post about them. Other than that feel free to visit my shops/ contact me with questions. Also, I personally learned a lot from Tallin, and still refer him all BH droid business.
