I realy realy want be a Jedi, but I am having my doubts about the long grind. Mainly becauze grenades is the only liveable way to grind the FS xp. But 75k for 1 crate of thermal detonators is alot of money for me. I Had about 1 mil credits, after getting the commmando tree and a few crates of grenades, I'm down to 800k with only 1 box in combat poweress unlocked... It goes fast, yes but in just a few days I'll be out of money. I am a fighter, so no Doc/Crafter who earns tons of credits each day. I already have a hard time to pay all the buffs and armour.
Sigh, how do you guys pay those tons of grenade crates?

The same way as you do.. with credits...
I made a lot of money with Master SW before I really started the grind with nades.. So it isn't that hard for me.. And I don't use other nades than C12s which cost me 25k per crate.
Not as fast as imperial detonators but fast and cheap enough for me

Ps. I don't use an expensiv armor when I go grinding with nades. That would be a waste of money.. I use a cheap and average armor for that.

Wow, your weaponsmith's are expensive... I used to buy thermals for 35k on bloodfin. I had about 3-4 million credits before i started and after I was done, I was down to 20k... counting in new suits of comp, nades, food, buffs, etc. I ran space looting runs to make money... you can make about 150k an hour or so selling loot. Good luck!

It's a lot cheaper if you buy your own resources and have a 12pt master weaponsmith craft the schematics for you. Save about %70

But at 11K per Giant Baz Nitch mission, wouldn't that about pay for the grenades? I don't know how many imp dets or thermals you would use for 7 lairs, but I assume it's less than the25 that's in the crate..
Or am Imissing something here.. ?
/edit : make that 8 lairs to pay for the buff too. Keep forgetting about those, my bad.

You would have to solo the mission. But I'm not sure, if they are listed while solo or grouped with a pet.

Yes, they're listed when solo, at least for me (TKM). You have to hit refresh a half million times, but they're listed.

A couple of things here I wanted to comment on. Firstly, grinding FSXP with grenades isjust one way of doing it, if you don't have a lot of cash for grenades you can get much higher paying missions in solo groups and still get xp to convert with. It won't be the valuable combat xp obviously, but if you make 4 trips to the village to convert weapons xp etc. you are still going to be converting a lot of xp and you will have a lot of money in the bank.
Secondly, doing missions is no doubt the easiest way of making money, but there are other ways that are more lucrative....they just take longer. Buy a few harvestors and sell resources, or sell the loot you get . Grinding with grenades is probably the fastest route, but it is also the most expensive...there are other ways. best of luck to you

Don't buy resources, dig them up yourself. It takes a bit of start up cash, but start small and expand as you can. Sell your first few runs of grenades to make quick cash, then use that for grenades for yourself. Stand in Dathomir Science Outpost barking that you're selling grenades, make it convenient for fellow grinders.
Spend some of your credits on:
1) a fusion ion generator (digs up radioactive for harvester power)
2)a couple Heavy Mineral Mining Installations (BER 13)
3) Equipment factory (preferably 2)
Use swgcraft.com to figure out all the resources you'll need to make imperial detonators. Use "view skilltree" and select weaponsmith. Don't forget about the subcomponents. Get a weaponsmith to make you schematics for the subcomponents, then run some off in your factories(make sure you have enough for the subcomponents, AND the final assembly of the grenades).
Once you have some subcomponents crated up, bring them to a weaponsmith to use them for an imperial detonator schematic. Put this schem in your factory, put your subcomponents in, and watch the grenades build up.
NOW - tough choice. You either use the grenades and eat the loss of the credits, OR sell the grenades for awhile until you bank up a lot of money (and pay off your harvesters and factories), then start using the grenades for your own grind. Though this might delay your grind a bit, it will be far more affordable to make your own grenades, also it's a nice money maker for you for life beyond the grind.
Difficulties:
Surveying. If you can't survey for stuff, find someone who can.
Non-mineral components in grenades - reactive gas, chemical. May have to buy these parts of the grenades. Good reactive gas is not cheap, unless you harvest it yourself with a natural gas processor. Even a few personal gas harvesters will work fine.
Costs beyond grenades - armor, buffs, vehicle repairs, etc. A couple of spare Swoops might be a good idea, too - those Nightsisters love blowing up bikes.
Good luck!
