Here'S an idea i came up with surveying the whole planet to get the best concentration of some ressources....

Why not put a droid in the game capable of seeking for ressources of any kind... It's allready there for Bounty hunters then it should be quite simple to implement one for crafters. I would give so much to be able to craft instead of searching for some ressource when it spawns... I surely waste 2-3 hrs / week seraching for some ressource. They would be one time uses off course

What do you think of this ?

Have a plesant day!

In theory looking for the resources is supposed to be the 'fun, exciting' part of Artisan crafting

Actually... I think this idea has been broached numerous times over the past three weeks

ssssssssssssssSSSS(:-<

- Account: Master TKA (cancelled)
- Account: Master Doctor (cancelled)
- Account: Smuggler (cancelled)
- Account: Master Chef (cancelled)
- Account: Master Droid Engineer (activity suspended pending developments)
Total loss of annual revenue (SOE): ~$715US to ~$900US
- Bad press: Priceless
Should Sony and Lucas Arts be worried? (15000 users * 5 accts = ~$13MIL in potential lost gross annual revenue) If I were the CEO for either LA or SOE, I would certainly be worried.

There are two problems with this proposal.

This first is that the code that determines resource concentrations probably can't work reliably over a whole planet at once. Every time someone fires off one of these it would thrash the database fiercely (in relative terms) contributing to server lag for everyone on the planet.

The second issue is that everyone would use them and you would just wind up with hundreds of harvesters jammed around one spot within hours of the resource spawning. Then the droids would be useless since there was no more room for harvesters and it wouldn't report any other locations on the planet.

It's allready like that now. Only takes a day or 2.. But i understand your point.

Still there must be a way. some website or something. I know i get my spawns on http://www.swgcraft.com . That website if you're not aware of it lists all the spawns on every planet and every server It's the players who submits the ressources stats/planet/server. And it's pretty reliable. It's a must for every crafter!
