Thread: Player Vehicles a DE's job?
ye, too bad we'reso poor, we wont be able to buy or harvest the materials to build a single speeder. Even Sintrosi can't afford a mount. Who are you trying to kidd? And if you read the general discussion forums, youll see that harvester maintenance has gone up, money loot from creatures has gone down and mission payouts has gone down (for about the 4th time). And remember, DE's are not a combat profession as so many people like to point out.
Im not daydreaming about anything. Im taking facts and connecting the dots.
cheers mate...

How come I have 8 harvesters, 2 power generators, one small mouse and4 vendors to suport. Andhavea 50k profit after a week or so on the erupe-chimaera server. I know its a new server and there are only like 10 droid engeneers in the galaxy. But still. You most be a very bad business man if you cant suport your self on your crafting.
Give it time...

I think it's already been stated somewhere that vehicles (at least the first few buildable ones) will fall under the Artisan tree. This will probably be until the Space Expansion comes out, and with that, I'm sure there will be a vehicle engineering profession of some sort added.

Master Artisan. And anyways, the devs aren't swayed by mere logic. I'm guessing vehicles will go to CH.
Yes, Vehicles and Starships will go to CH's as well. They don't have enough yet.
it should be no problem for all of you to maintain your harvestors. if you go to Naboo (don't know about other Planets) and run crafting missions between Deeja Peak and Moenia you will get roughly 30k per hour. make sure you get the 1400cr ones. I usualy don't accept unless they are over 1350cr. but it can be done. I maintained my own 10 harvs and about 5 of someone elses in about an hour per day. so even with the increase you should still be able to do it.
And for goodness sakes make your own personal Harvs. survey to get the materials to make them but get them. isn't that hard.
DE's quit being so down on your selfs. YOU CAN MAKE COOL LOOKING DROIDS. they don't do much but they are cool looking. well they may not even be cool looking but they ARE Driods and you can't deny that.

Artaisan? Did not think that astarter profession would get it even if it is master
I started the game just over 2 months ago.. This is what I did..
Start:
Artisan - Rori Restuss
Had friend in game (lucky me) he gave me 8000cr and some steel
I built4 Wind Mills and6 personal chemical extractors
I mined for Class 4 Liquid Petro
I obtained I think 20k of it over time and that got me 60k cr Its cost I think 15k to run the extractors maybe
I moved to talus and got more chemical 4... now I had about 80-110k (2weeks)
Upgraded my extractors to 3 mediums and 7 personals
I found suplier of radioactive for 1cr per
I moved on to Ostrine Ore and gathering resources that were considered good stats
Made about 300k (END WEEK 3)
Used this money to invest in other peoples lots.. Bought resources and leveled artisan as I went along operating at 1 point aprox 140 personal extractors that I rented for 5-10k creds a week..
Had these things set up in 3 different planets and harvested whatever was underneath them from then on in..
Now I made my first million.. I started buying bazaar resources that I thought were good.. met manty people and moved along that way..The play time I put into this is kind of sick though.. I lived hand to mouth for a long time while investing and leveling DE skills..
Got to a point where I could not handle this level of mining.. Kept about 90 extractors most of which at this point were heavies or mediums
Week 5.. I was master DE power grinded my way.. MSE - Frame units..
Week 6.. Found super rare resource on Endor and moved so many extractors on it.. it was not funny gathered 1.2million units of this ore.. Sold 400k units for 5per and used that to keep going..
Invested in resources sold little bits of resources.. My ore was worth 20-30cpu.. sold little bits to fund my mines.. Kept going and going..
Week 10 (NOW) I have 10 million units of some of the most precious resources on the server.. I was offered 60 million to sell out my entire stock.. Plus I have around 4 million credits.. Started a city!
I am on strike with DE.. I made over the entire period I am decribing maybe 120 droids tops.. and made very little money off of them.. I am more a resource investor then DE as I wait to use my 10million resources and possible 20 factories to make 1000's of battle droids... If they ever come out..
I am most likely the richest DE on any server; not for making droids thats for sure!

Resource Vending pays better than all crafting classes, excluding weaponsmiths that are well known.
DE's need vehicles, and chefs need to be fixed.
