Thread: Newbie At JTL! Help Please!
When you guys started out what did you do? I need some tips! =D
Thanks to all who reply.
Used what I had looted, scanned the bazaar hourly (almost) and searched vendors. Since those days the bazaar has been killed by the chassis dealer buyback, and the shipwrights almost all stopped making low lvl parts. You'll have to use Glactic Vendor search and hope one or two SWs cater to rookies.
PS- do the NPC missions in Tatoo space for nice chunks of money, good practice, and good xps. There are looping NPCs near Tatoo sation, Nallera mining POI, and the Hutt Claims.
That is not true at all. To be a good pilot spend some time finding equipment and enjoy flying.
At low levels, make your life easy and figure out what components you personally want, then use the galactice search to find them. Honestly, most pilots will do fine with what they loot, even if they're a little underpowered. Life doesn't start to get challenging as a pilot until Tier 3.
Leinhart - it picks up as time goes on, and eventually you end up like me - parts stored in your house, your bank, and your yacht because you have too many different pieces. With grinding, fly the destroy duty missions from your trainer, those will help you a lot on both skill, money, and parts.
LOL you don't need to be a shipwright at all. Hit CTRL+V , click on vendors, click on "Ships". Set waypoint, go there, spend money. If he's out of stuff, goto the next one. Rinse/repeat on each planet until you have your stuff. Since you don't have to wait for shuttles anymore, this takes about 10 minutes of travel time, tops. I started on Talus, found a vendor, compared prices the first vendor I visisted on Dant. Get the idea? Shop around.
Also, I just got the first 4 boxes , I had accumulated so much stuff, I had to drop it all. I bought a Tie Fighter with 21k mass (11k mass on beginner fighter) and STOCKED it with the best stuff I looted, bought, and parts stripped frommy old tie fighter. Did you check your inventory?
The amount of uselessnegativity on these boards is amazing. If you need any help with this, just ask. Ignore those posts that say "Quit SWG" and "I'm a whiner blah blah". They have nothing better to do, some of us here will actuallyhelp you.
What server are you on? I was lucky and was asked to join a pilots guild. Very nice people, and they r more than willing to help me out with ships/parts. I am in the same situation as you. I just finished 1111 in freelance pilot and am looking for a new ship. If you are on Eclipse, hit me up in-game. Tytob is my in-game name.

Make sure that you're checking the Vendor Search for ships. I found a ton last night. (on Bloodfin) Granted, make sure you shop around, some of the early ships seemed a bit pricey. heh. I don't have any problem paying 100 grand for a TIE Interceptor, but 100,000 for a standard TIE is a tad off.

You dropped the items? Do you mean destroyed them? Just so the new folks know you can either find a SW that will buy space loot for ~1k per level or you can sell them to an NPC chassis dealer for the same price.

Heh... that's how I make most of my creds these days. Just go hit Nab space around the Rebel station... lots of easy 1 hit Tier 1 Rebs there. You get anywhere from 50 - 130 credits, and like every 4th one drops some component worth at least 1000.
