Once you assemble a ship can you just pack it up and place it on a vendor? Or can you only make the chassis and then let the players buy the pieces to make it themsleves?
And does anyone know a place that has picks of the different ships with each texture on it? Its kind of a pain to paint the ship a different texture to see if I like it. Be nice to look at something and say yeah that what I want then do it.

You can sell a ship many ways:
- You can sell the blueprints for the chassis.
- You can take your blueprints to a chassis dealer, obtain a deed and sell them.
- You can take your blueprints to a chassis dealer, obtain a deed, generate the ship and sell it as data.
- You can take your blueprints to a chassis dealer, obtain a deed, generate the ship, and load components and sell it as data.
Now, options 1 and 2, you can always bundle a chassis and components in a container and place the contain on your vendor. I personally do not like this since I know of no way for the customer to look into the container and examine the stats on the individual items in the container.
Options 2-4 has the downside of increasing the capital outlay required by the Shipwright. This can become significant if for higher tier ships. I can't see any real advantage to doing this, except you've saved the customer 5 minutes to visit a chassis dealer and turn the blueprints into a deed.
I've never tried option 3/4, not even with a vehicle. Thus, without verification, I would not try it.
Option 4 has the downside that the customer doesn't know what kind of components the ship has been equipped with until they manage the ship. I personally don't like this option for the same reasons I don't like putting containers of bundled items on my vendor.

This shouldn't happen. The issue would be that if it could a Master pilot could kit out alow level ship (say dunelizard or y-w)with lvl 10 kit (well, mass permitting) and then trade it to alow levelpilot.
I haven't tried since launchbut I can't remember what checks they put in beta, it either required the ship to be empty or put a final block on data transfers. It would take too much programmer time to run checks on equipment certification on items already installed.
To be safe (and in case, as it did in early beta, it bugs the ship) re-deed and trade from inventory. There is no cost to re-deeding a ship unlike a harvester (in fact converting to a deed saves the customer the chassis broker cost, making it more valuable).

Whats the difference between a crystal andPearl of the same quaility?
If I already have my lightsaber equipped (but not in use) and someone comes within range, will that give me visability?
Is it better to use low quaility crystals or high quality crystals to grind with?
How do I progess from Padawan to Knight?
Thanks!

pearls tune better then crystals

been said before you can practically gain visibility from aynthing other then sitting, walking , standing. you gain small amounts for little things and you gain big amounts for big things-(specials in front of players).

as high quaality as you can find. better the force costs the longer u survive. higher the damage the quicker you kill
How do I progess from Padawan to Knight?
in time you will learn to trust your feelings
hah no. after you spend 230/250 skill points you qualify for knight trials. you go to a shrine and you have to search for random/rare spawns and kill em

No, its 230 total. 206 + the 24fs points. That way it allows you to rework your template if needed.

Hey guys, I recently got my 6th tree and am waiting for the second old man visit. Just got a few questions for ya'll.
When the old man visits the second time, and i get and complete my mellichae mission, do I have to go strait to the force shrine to meditate, or can I hold it up for a few days? Also, if i die after i complete my mel. mission, do i lose xp or am I still normal?
Any help would be appreciated.

I've become Jedi with my friend. We have always been together in every phase, in every proffession we had.
We want to be together again in this Jedi path since we never like PVP option (also accepting BH threats) we want to keep our visiblity at minimum. I was wondering if we only hunt together without any other visibility factor, it is counted "per person" or "per session" in visibility additions.
I mean his name is X, and my name is Y, X adds visiblity only one time or everytime Y engages combat near him, it increases visibility? I know visiblitiy issue is very complicated and underground, however may be some people experienced those results.
Another question is for FRS, when you become Jedi Knight, do you have option to have Jedi Knight robe and not participate in FRS (for not being overt, or pvp-enabled in new system) or you stay in Padawan robe if you are not in FRS (after Knight trials)
Last question, if you are killed by BH, does your visiblity completely reset? (even BH gets its reward) or you need to get to cloning station for sure to reset visiblity or neither?
Thanks for all replies.
