Here's an idea. Help the economy and sell to your friendly neighborhood shipwright instead.






Sell to shipwrights? Why help them they take too much of money money.. I don't like them.





Very simple answer: To get some of that money back.

Oh yes, advertising by putting a droid or something, or hell, EVEN A VENDOR IN YOUR OWN BLOODY SHOP spaming a message is alot of work. (ive only seen ONE SW do this. and i shop around ALOT) *rolls eyes* And you woudlnt be giving me anything. Your buying a resource, that frankly i just save for myself and get it RE'd later.


>>SW's do pay more than 1k per level.

Acutally, not all do. Infact, most ive seen, DON't.



This is almost kind of funny. On Scylla, the only SW I see advertising to buy looted parts is only willing to pay 1k each - not 1k per level, but 1k per part... But a little looking around found me another SW who was more than willing to work out an arrangement that was more beneficial to both of us.

if im pulling out, 20 items at level 7 (7,000) = 140,000 how many SW, are going to pay the same price?


and thats just level 7 equipment. if i have level 10 items, (which i dont have yet) im going to save em up and sell them to the dealer for 10,000 a pop. (if its fixed )



Well I for one amwillingto pay 2 k more then the chassis dealer (even more if the item is worth it) to anyone offering LVL 5-10 shields/weapons/engines/capacitors to my vendor near coronet.

I currently hoard 10 lvl 8 enginesand about the same amount in capacitorsbut can not reverse them because it would be a waste of good loot.

If you SW's want parts to RE,why don't youloot themyourselves in space. It's not that hard. Many master SW's that I know are also master pilots.







ROFL youknowhow RE works?


You need the same amount of items as the reverse engineering level and most items are starting to get interesting from lvl 5 up.


So the prob is not getting loot, but its getting the loot with the right lvl.


Not to mention: What are you willing to pay for say a reverse engineered shield lvl 8?


If the shipwright will try to loot all those shields himself you can try to buy the final shield for abouta million (because the SW has to spend a few days in space looting and not crafting).


But I guess its pointless to argue with the price since I see so much "non reversed crap loot" offered on vendors for about the same costs as a crafted item.


Support your local dealer

I have vendors set up for the specific purpose of buying RE loot at 2k/level. Problem is that too many people know about it and I'm losing more money than I'm gaining from it. What I might do is stand beside the Chassis Dealer in Coronet Spaceport and buy only Level 1 and 2 loot until I get a couple Firespray schematics. Once I have the money from those chassis I might broadcast where those vendors are and all you folks on Kettemoor might have a place to sell to at twice the rate of the Chassis Dealer.
