Interdependancy is good, as long as it applys to everyone
Well... you kinda do (at least crafters anyway, not necessarily entertainers). Or are you solely using looted or quest reward weapons and armor? Only using reward vehicles like the BARC, or do you use crafted vehicles too (including the AV-21)?
Interdependency is there, it's just not necessarily immediate interdependency.

Exactly.
When a combat char goes FS he can just go to the next Vendor and get what he needs, 24/7 (as long as the server is online ^^)
Where is the Vendor that helps crafters 24/7?
For example, if they would make them around CL30, anyone with the help of a combat droid (as long as these work correct) could do it, whenever they please, not whenever they find someone willing to help

Jo-don, I would suggest that this is not a good idea for the players. When I did the old man visit about a year or so ago. I was a Master Dancer/Master Tailor with only Pistols 3 and I was able to defeat the encounter. If I were to do the same thing today, I would easily get wiped out with these current CL's. Considering that it's a random spawn attack, it makes it hard for a low CL character because you don't know when you're going to get hit, so you would basically need to have some high CL friend drop whatever they're doing and tag along with you until it finally happens. Now the Sith camp that follows the attack is a different story. You know where it is and you can get help and hit it whenever you want, but I don't see why the inital Sith attack should be allowed to be so high level.
Once you get to the Village, with the exception of the Phase 4 Senses quest, none of the other Crafting or Senses quests are combat oriented quests so it doesn't really make sense that a low CL character should have to survive a random attack by two high CL mobs to get there. It didn't require it before, so why now?
Furthermore, once you fill your 6 FS lines, you have to get by the Mellichae camp, which is admittedly tough, but you need a group to do it anyway so you don't need to be high level yourself and you can pick when you want to do it, but after that none of the Padawan trials quests require any high level combat either. I don't think there is anything much over CL 20 that had to be killed - certainly nothing anywhere near CL 70 or higher, so again, considering that what follows isn't so tough, I don't know why the beginning of it needs to be so tough. (Ironically, a high CL can even hinder you on some of the Padawan missions because you can't even *get* falumpaset, or sludge panther either probably, missions from a terminal if you're that high. You either have to get someone else to get the missions and then group with you, or wander around until you find wild spawns on your own.)

Yep, that has been changed since then due to the very issues you encountered

err what, so why did the old man visit me at kachiro starport for the first time, i was then visisted by the sith there, and looted the small camp wp there. which was bugged cos it was out of bounds.
i got a csr to place the camp on naboo instead.
but still, has this been changed since i was visited, was like 1 week since ROTW was introduced....was ages ago,,but i was still visited by old man there.

WTH?
I take it you definitely did not use Center of Being, improved or otherwise. So using "all" the proper abilities is out.
Otherwise there is no way that you should have gotten stomped by a single NPC five levels lower than you.
Center of Being is a TKA's best friend. It would have cut the damage he dealt you by more than half. The improved version lasts close to 45 secs and can be reapplied shortly before it fades. Start it up before you initiate combat and you should be fine.
I used center of being (I don't have improved quite yet). I mixed up my attacks. It was against some guys who spawned for a quest and they had flamethrower weapons, and I carefully got one to fight me at a time so I would not get ganged on. And, yes, he defeated me soundly. As I said it was pretty close, but most of the time I was out of health and he had 20-25% left.
The -only- thing I can say I didn't have going is food/drink -- as I said I'm new to the game, and both didn't have any on me, and also haven't seen evidence so far that combat is set up here so that you need either or that this fight would have been dramatically different if I had eaten/drank.
Get some Stim D's and Ruby B. And get that food. You should be fine. For a lot of things in this game nowadays buffing isn't an option, it's a necessity, when you're soloing that is.
