My question for the day is ... How much cash do y'all have on hand at any one time? I don't mean in your pocket, I mean total.

The reason I ask is, I deal with lots of other players, most of whom seem to be equipment rich and cash poor. Hey, I have really decent weapons, 3 sets of mainly complete armor which I never wear and I am getting ready to sell, a stockpile of minerals and chemicals, a house, my usual growing supply of hides and bone, and about 25 things for sale on the bazaar. I see the mean big bad Bounty Hunters out there taking out everyday targets to loot for cash. Doctors and Entertainers are screaming for tips. The tailors/armorsmiths I deal with are paying me decently and if I could quit buying new clothes -- ty ty ty Allizain for my reinforced jumpsuit (shameless plug ala Mikey Waltrip) -- and weapons (no way am I saying where I go for these, but I just love her DL44s) I would be even better off.

I dunno, I consider my base to be 50k. Anything below that I grab a couple of the standard missions, close to my house if possible, and knock em out ( oh wow, I get hides for this too, double the fun and profit). Do this quite a few times and the creds add up.

Swoop bikes are on the horizon and I want one. No clue what they will cost, but I gotta tell ya, I am selling hides like a fiend, making barters with minerals and chems, selling what I find in the lairs (what use are bees and gloweez??) and saving my decicreds waiting for the day.

Master Scout, wanna be Master Ranger, sometimes Artisan, Half decent Medic, Pistoleer, thinking about being a Rifleman too... the hats do pile up...

Scylla, wandering the wilds of Corellia asking the age old question -- Are we there yet?

I tend to hover between 60k-90k. I don't sell any resources, so this accumulates over time from missions.

My only real expenses are inter-planetary travel, tips, keeping 1 top-notch sliced pistol on hand + backup, and the occasional new outfit from my tailor (I don't use armor).

When I shuttle between cities, I make it a point to take delivery missions to my destination to not only offset the cost, but turn a small profit. I currently still have survey (until I have to give it up), so I sample my own non-organics for camps/traps.

I should actually add training to my expense list, since that's become an issue (we are not a prolific profession).

I don't maintain any structures, as I don't want to be tied down. I don't aspire to be rich-- just comfortable enough so that I don't have to stress over being broke.

I have 100k+ on me at most times... this has taken a month to accumulate and was done before the mission payout nerf last week. This was obtained solely by running destroy missions on Tat and Naboo, that's it. I don't sell stuff really. I do buy a lot of crap and have probably spent a total of 150k on clothes and weapons. Oh yeah, I spent 75k on a med house and 13k on a small house as well.

Money has never been an issue, and I've never even seen a biz natch.

I have 1 million credits on me but only because I just retired from armorsmithing!

I had 20K max. I've got good weapons. I used to make 1500k on destroy mission. so I'd do a few and increase the bank roll. Since the update, I only get 700-1K per mission. I sell some hides but don't ever have much money. the missions are harder now. I keep gettingkilled by wompratlayers. All for 800 credits. Not worth it. I now just look for NPC's, kill and loot. The explorer missions seem better but 4K tokill 45 womprats? Not worth the time. It's getting rediculus. Mask scent doesn't work well even at novice ranger level... I'm getting very discouraged. How did you all get so rich? I've been playing sincethis server went up. every night... I guess i'm a littleADD my attention span doesn't last long enough. I get bored.

money realy isnt a big deal for me, my max was about 5K because im usualy skint and to lazy to run missions, i just run around on my own meeting few people with few friends.
maybe when i join a PA ill meet some new buddies...

Man, I'm dirt poor. I'm stuck right now with a little less than 20k, a few days ago I had about 90k. Not entirely sure where it all went. Too much tatooine sunburn I guess...

50% of the time my bank roll is under 20k, but whenever I need money, I just head solo to Endor, and pop off a few 20k missions, build up to around 200-300k, than back to puttering around, killing some stuff on corellia, maybe a few reb missions out of anchorhead, untill im out of money again. Currenly weapon wise I have a Lighting Rifle, about 4 very good carbine, a good pistol, and a decent rifle. Also a couple of suits of composite, and crates of powerups and spices.A couple houses factory's ganerators etc.. Whenever I need money I just go get some.

I have right now just on credits about 1.6 million. But if I include the large house, harvesters, armor, weaps,etc. I would say over 2 million easily. The only reason I am up there is I have no life during the summer so I was able to play a lot. It also helped that I used to sell a lot of the stuff that I harvest and mine. I like to consider myself a Ranger/Small Business player.

I used to have between 50k and 100k total. Then I bought my medium house, a harvester, and a number of other things. That brought me down to a reasonable value... and then I did a stupid and put in something like 15k credits in one of my harvesters and 12k creds in my house (that extra zero that I keep missing drives me insane).

So, now I am at around 25k and trying to get it back up to my comfortable cushion between 50 and 100k. I'm hoping to go to Talus tonight and reap reap reap the rewards from those 999OQ wooly hide. Mm.

I've never been to any of the adventure planets, preferring to stay on Naboo and hunt/do missions on Rori. I've got a lot of resources that I need to unload, but they are all non-scout resources (organics and metals and things).

I usually have about 20k.

I maintain a small "hunting cabin" on Talus to store extra hides, clothes, furniture... and its right by a little river, so its great fishing. I have a great scout blaster, a decent dx2, and a tangle pistol for special occasions. I'm debating armor as I'm thinking of trying some PvP, but I haven't bought any yet.

I'll put up about 3k worth of hides from time to time on the bazaar, normally when my storage is looking low and my artisan friends don't need them. I tend to barter a whole lot more than spend credits...

Excepting the occasional bazaar sale or helping with these special orders, all of my credits are mission payouts. I normally take missions when on advanced planets, grouped.

Things were much different when I was dabbling in the artisan professions. With harvesters and the like, I felt quite broke. Currently, I feel comfy. I don't spend much, I don't earn much.
