Curious as to what people think a fair price is for the detonating droids.I have made them with 2 det chips up to 6-7 in them and they range from det power 15 to det power 39.I tested a det 39 and killed 5 thugs in a 20m radiua and did over 5k hit on all of them.In pvp they suck.i tried a duel with 1 and barely scratched him.

What would be a fair price considering it is a 1 shot deal and time and effort to make them?

Does anyone know if we can relate this to what Weaponsmiths are currently charging for grenades? How do our demolition droids compare to grenades in damage done, radius, etc.?


Any WS/DE's out there that might be able to she some light please?

I'm selling mine for 3k each.

Of course that's cause Tolium just spawned at 80% within 2-3km of my house.

I used one earlier today on some Kaadau.
They died quickly, and fiery.

At the monet I am charging 10-15 as the Tolium isn't on radiant and it just cost me 200k+ for 92000 units.

As a Bounty Hunter I will tell you 10-15K is way too much for a 1 time use item. I would never buy one at that price.

Yeah, I'm a Smuggler, and that seems a little pricy.

It entirely depends on the rarity of Tollium on your server.

This price issue is exactly why I don't plan to get into the survey and detonator business. How can I honestly justify selling a one time use droid for so much credits. Hell I was a Master Bounty Hunter and I remember how many probes and seekers I used tracking my mark.


However you buyers out there need to understand those DE's that are selling them, need to understand I saw someone selling Tolium Gas on the Bazaar for 6000cr for 400 units. Now you tell me who is suppose to eat the cost?


I suggest the devs somehow increase the vortex gems and the tolium gas or change the resource cause those 2 droids will not be worth the effort to make.


DE's will lose out on a sell or have to eat the cost and...


buyers will not use them or will eat the cost.

proton gernads with 5 charges go for 5k on my server so think about that with your pricing. sometimes spending dump amounts of creds per CPU just won't get money back. I don't care what it is your making. <shrugs>

We are competing with CM's for Tolium its made the droids expensive.


I sold MSE's at 10k each and I couldn't keep them on the vendor. I've got nearly 2 million in orders for R3 bombs. The dedicated PVP'ers were ordering them like crazy when it was tested on a turret and did 50k in damage.


Those who can afford them will buy them. Those who can't won't. Ayn Rand would love it.
