Thread: Vehicle Customization Tool
Well... I paint droids for free, but that's in part to attract business. The fact that only Droid Engineers can use the Droid Customization Tool means it's tough to sell them (or their use) as well.
For me it will depend on what it takes to make 'em. I'll probably start at something like 10 CPU if that works out to be a decent price and see what happens. Might start as high as 20 CPU if they require very few resources. I don't see much point in selling anything for less than 1000 credits because it's simply too much effort to create the item and post it for sale for that little return.
I got tipped 10k once to go to the starport and customize somebody's dorid.

And they say credits are meaningless in this game
I plan to do it for tips. Every time I think of setting for a price for a service, I come up with a number but then I test the servicefor free. When people ask how much, I say "tip whatever you think is fair." Almost always I get tipped 10 times what I was planning to charge. For the few people who take the service for granted, the ones who pay for it more than make up.
It has other advantages as well, such as leaving a good impression with customers who come back for repeat business.
If I get overwhelmed or run into a bunch of cheapskates, I will start charging for the service.
(In contrast to my free service policy, I do *not* undercharge for vehicles like most dealers.)
I paint droids for free too. But now with vehicles we arent going to provide the service but the tool, so its a bit different now, I think 
Anyway, I just wanted an orientation about prices... and Ive got some already, thank you

seriously,
forget about the customiye thingy as it is atm.
the vehicles get same crap system like droids do. only newbies wish it to get colored.
everybody who notices that the color is gone after 20 calls, wont ever ask again for coloring, cause it simply makes no sense.
if we culd color perma or at least for 2000 call with a slightly fading in between then it might make sense and people woiuld like it.
but how it is atm, be serious pls, noone comes to get a droid recolored for 20 calls.
they really should make the color perma till you use the color tool again. how does that hurt players?
not at all, but it imporves the fun when people can choose their color and like their droid / vehicle
if they want a change they come back and get a repaint, simple as that.
how often u let your car get panted in real life? every 20 McDonalds drives? guess not
