There are professions in this game that entirely worthless, being as that you dont even need to "play" them. I propose a complete revamp of the game professions that could work within theexisting system. Before I share with you my solution. Lets examine why the game is very flawed.


1. I can macro my way into any profession.This is an evil we all live with due to holomania.


2. I can set up repeating macros and leave my computer on 24/7 and not even be playing the game !!!


Stupid. Plain and simple, this game is stupid if I dont even have to play to play, but yet I have to pay to play.


Here is the fix. Hybrid professions of a totally new kind. The professions having anything to do with Entertainer are WORTHLESS at this point and could be NPC's. Medic? Patheticly boring. Artisan, boring. Basically all non cabat professions in this game can be mastered and made eilte without playing them in most cases. I suggestgiving the combat professions a whole new reliance on these currently worthless professions.


Lets make this easy by giving examples:


A master smuggler gets doctor skills as an enhancing choice...now I can make even better drugs than other master smugglers.


Another master smuggler decides to go for Image Design/smuggler hybrid. I now can elude the attack of the opposing faction even if Im overt. (just thouhts here folks)


Yet another master smuggler hybrids with weaponsmith and can make and slice the galaxies best and most illegal weapons.


or perhaps another profession to dabble in like this:


Master Bounty Hunter gains doc skills and now can use biological weapons to kill their target.


The Master BH decides to go for Image Designer and NON of there marks go red and they can track their marks better...


or perhpas the MBH gets weaponsmith and can make the galaxies most feared weapon of all time....the Mutliphasic Cannon...which does damage to ALL forms of resists. (heavy ham costs of course lol)



Take this concept and it apply it to ALL the combat professions and these worthless macro'd professions all of a sudden bring on a whole new value and interest. Not only that...but it can be done using the existing system.


For instance, if I have investigation 2 and at least 2/2/2/2 Image designer I can now droid track +5 and my marks are NEVER red anymore.



This could, should and will be done if this game is to last much longer. Honetly, the one good thing getting into the holocron grind has done for me is make me realize most of these professions suck and need to be given value.


Add flavor...
