Hi guys, My alt, buckshot made Master DE about 2 weeks ago.
Ive been able to craft some +113 harvesters with +3400 health and some +54 Det droids with the same health. and a couple other various models.
I guess i need to know which droids are worth building. The harvesters are almost useless, the interplantetary droids are pointless with swgcraft around
I cant make many droids do to the lack of Durraloy steel and Duralumin.
What do i make besides entertainer droids that are gonna be popular?

I do ok with the crafters droids, R3 with all the crafting modules.
Storage droids in different frames; but the MSEs and the cheapest to make and sell.
A lot of my work is custom orders though. Never know what you'll get; yesterday a dancer wanted an LE with some entertainer effects.

Until your resource supply climbs I would go with the following good sellers:
Mouse Crafting Stations - 1 or 2 modules each. A cheap option for beginner crafters.
R5 Astromech Droids - throw ina data module for each level you want and away you go.
Bounty Hunter Droids - Seekers, Arakyds would be a good collection if you have access to a Master Artisan that can make the Electronic Modules these eat.
Fortunately for me I had a full house of resources by the time I hit Master (had an architect character on another account) so could delve right in and hit the good markets.
Just moved premises down the road and just took a week for shoppers to relocate it and sales have grown again. Now I have widened my Astromech range to include Basic Astromechs (R5), Storage Astromechs (R5A), Combat Storage Astromechs (R2) and will be adding a Combat Medic Astromech range (R2). Priced anything from 12k for a Level 1 Basic Astromech to 50k+ for a Level 6 Combat Medic Astromech.

I try to keep the following droid models stocked on my vendor:
* Pilot astromechs (L4-L6) with item storage and combat capability
* R3 and MSE bomb droids by the crate
* General combat droids with item storage (usually a probot chassis)
* Flight Computers (L4-L6)
* Lots of seekers and Arakyds
* Basic medical capability droids
This gives good variety and all items are pretty steady in sales.
As far as those two resources you mentioned...they shouldn't be that hard to find as they're not rare spawns. Not like Lidium Extrusive ore. I'd just keep searching if I were you...eventually you'll find a cache.

are the R3 Bomb droids and MSEs the advanced models? And if so i have another question. I have only been able to get +54 Detonation on my advanced R3 units. But thats pretty good right?

Since detonation moduels stack, always use advanced models.
The highest detonation rating possible depends on your server's best resource spawn. The maximum detonation rating possible on an R3 is 60 with perfect resources (all required resource stats at 1000). Now that there are DE buffs from musicians, you can use less-than-perfect resources to get up to 60. Best ask a DE from your server to figure out what resources they are using.
