I totally agree with this. Introducing quality goods need sto be encouraged vs grinding of mostly usless parts.

The sad part is, this is already (or at least was) put in to place, just in a more awkward way. It used to be (and still was last I checked) that you got 50% of the xp you'd normally get for crafting a sub-component (this went for all professions) when someone else used the sub-component. Unfortunately there were way too many problems with the system. It was a pain to get other people to use your parts, you had to be near the other person and both logged on when they made it, couple other screwy conditions I can't remember anymore... If they'd just apply that to normal crafting using your own parts you'd actually see people do something other than grind!

This might be a good way to reward people who hand-craft as well. Lets face it, people who factry produce almost everything probably dont need the XP anyway. Luckily, lots of DE stuff is always hand-crafted, hehe. Too bad the interest in our stuff isnt' greater.

Actually this is a good idea. The final assembly xp bonuses are pretty low.

Unfortunately as per my discussion with TK, the devs won't be looking at DE's again anytime really until after the combat balance. We'll get a few minor changes, but nothing along the lines of our hopes and dreams mostlikely (unless the devs listen and put in droid decay!).

One thing I'd like to throw into this discussion is the experience granted for crafting final products. This is an issue that pertains to all professions, but when I craft an R3 that takes over a half-dozen components, some of which require components themselves, it is not an easy task. I should be rewarded with a fair amount of XP. The problem with the xp rewards as they are now is that it encourages grinding of useless parts because they give xp. As far as FS is concerned, if I am supposed to gain xp by "playing the game," we should be rewarded for what master DE's actually do: create final droids. I make my parts by factory, and assemble the final droids by hand. The xp awards for final assemblies need to be REALLY looked at.
