Thread: We Need Better Pistols!!!! Economy based post
As I understand
it the difficulty and reward of the mission is dependent on the weapon you have equiped.
Its based not on the weapon itselft, but on weapon skill. Maybe he had a pretty high level of LLC, and you only have 1 box in Pistoleer.
OK valid arguement!
Please post the mission lvl and Credit reward and please list the weapon you use.
and your skill level
Its got everything to do with your skill of the weapon you have equipped.
If I have my pistol equipped, the average faction mission I get (that I can solo) is about 3500cr. I can get them up to about 5500cr, but usually spawn 1 at-st or a 4 ST's that I need a partner to help with. I'm a master pistoleer toting a nice fwg5 most times.
Thing is though, if you can get 2-2.5k per mission, and they take what, 10 minutes tops to kill each? That's a potential of 10-14k or so an hour, plus faction points, plus credits from the corpses. That's not half bad for a little bit of factional slaughter.
If you play casually, up to an hour and a half or two hours a day, if you spend that day's playtime out missioning, you can earn 20k or more in that day. Sure, play more and you can be rich, but that's a comfortable salary for living on, especially once you've bought a nice gun and some decent armor and don't have any other forward expenses floating about.
I notice you are a master Ranger!
what weapon and type of mission are you taking?
Screw it im getting novice BH so I can get Scatter Certs!!!!!!!!!
be back in a week to explain!!!
Equip a lousy NPC dropped CDEF Pistol. Check what missions ya get.
Equip your best pistol. Check what missions ya get.
Missions and payout will be the same.
Now equip a weapon in which ya have no skills (rifle, dagger, etc.). You will see that the payouts decrease.
It has EVERYTHING to do with weapon skill, not the weapon in itself.
Go test it...
Ok this is making more sense now! I was going to go Master Smuggler then work on Pistoleer. I thought it was based on weap damage. So i will now put Smugger on hold and use pistol exp for pistoleer.
only 4 million pistol exp to go.... and when i reach master ill be able to get areally good DX2....NM i already have 2
/em crossesfingers pistol specials get fixed

This is purely an economy based post!!!!
I will be posting in BOTH the Pistoleer and Smuggler Forums so I will keep this simple.
BTW I will mention BH/Commando, this is not a call for a nerf or an anti BH/Commando
post (I am sooo sick of those)
I was doing faction missions with a PA friend of mine, and as we were grouped,
I noticed my missions were much easier and far less credit reward. As I understand
it the difficulty and reward of the mission is dependent on the weapon you have equiped.
Well he had a LLC and i had a FWG5 60-215, I could not get a mission over 2k-2.5K he was
getting 6K-7K missions(admittedly they were harder targets) no matter how many refreshes
on the term i could not get better paying missions. So because of the weap damage I was
maxed on how much I could earn per mission!!!!
Therefore I think we need some better pistols or they need to change the way in which
missions are issued, maybe random lower lvl missions with higher payouts? or at least
make higher missions available, I dont mind a challenge.
MY point being, forget PVP!!! My earning potential is affected!!! I need to make money too!!!
this "Player-Based economy" right? so give me a chance to earn!
I am aspiring to MasterPistoleer/MasterSmuggler which doesnt leave many other earning options
other than missions.
Here are my stats FYI
Novice pistoleer 0/0/0/1 (waiting to finish smugg combat skills)
Novice smuggler 1/3/3/1
Novice Dancer 0/0/0/0 (Laugh until you need BF and mind healed)
marksman 0/4/0/4 (may have to give up ranged)
scout 3/0/3/3 (will have to give up)
Artisan 0/0/0/3 (slicing supplies/resources)
Brawler 4/0/0/0 (Pre-req for smugg)
Ent 0/0/4/4 (your still laughing!!!)
I am not looking to be rich, just to enjoy playing a char I want to play and survive.
Just an observation
BTW I know i can get lvl 40-60 missions on the "tough planets" but i cant solo and
besides when you have someone doing HUGE ammounts of damage you will make more weap exp
shooting Chubbas!
