thats why i said focus on 2 things, yes they shift but they will always be there in some form, just find new spots... both of the things i named are a must for doc's... you get a client base and you are set, they also give you a heads up if there is nice dolitove (sp?) iron or class 4 petro around... if so find it and drop a couple harvestors on it for a bit... talk to others and find out about shifts...

heck start or join a public chat room for ppl interested in resources... if you get the word out it works really well...

ps. not sure exzactly what the resource market has to do with making money with a rifleman, but hey i'll go with it lmao...

I can just see a "Wait for the Combat Revamp" and "Wait for the Smuggler Revamp" quote all rolled into one.
"Wait for the Smuggbat Revamp"
Smuggbat, I like that

Mining is definatley a great source of incomeI made millions off it whenI first started playing.Harvesting can also be a good source of income but in general it won't be nearly as lucrative as mining.

Also just paying up front for some buffs and doing missions on high end planets will make ya tons of coin just fine.It only costs about 15 to 20k at most to get fully buffed.You can make that back in under 15 mins on a high end planet doing missions, after that the rest is profit.

Well I go solo alot with a T21 with a whoping 75 Mind. I overcome this with crates of powerups taht reduce mind cost by 32% and increase attack speed by 15%. Then I get Muon (or Vasarian Brandy if you can afford) and my mind regens almost as fast as I can use it.

I took out my Untrained Padwan solo with Conceal in less than 3 minutes and he didn't even attack. Pretty good for a free holo.

Other than that, try the Muon Goldnow that we have a counter you can make sure you're not in combat when it wears out.

Get in a group on Dath. Hunt rancors, you'll get awesome xp and great money. 36k per mission, split for 9 people = 4k per mission, @ 2 mins a mission = 120k per hour potentially. That's good money. When I was non-master, Me and a TKA/CH friend could pull kams together, making 9k each per mission.

Do faction missions if you are aligned. That's really good, really easy money. Dizzy > NPCs.

And if you see anyone without a weapon heading your way, /burstrun and kite the **edit**. Even you can't mess that up.

And ditch the laser, E-11s are a superior gun. Better min, lower HAMs, Faster, still ap2. T-21's will work, but mind problems again. Stat migration is your friend too, providing your race allows it.

you'd think that the enraged rancor missions are the way to go.. but it doesnt take 2 minutes a mission, even with 18 person groups. It takes much longer... you kill the intial spawns, wait, tap the lair, kill those spawns, bring it down some more, kill those spawns (and at any point during this process the group can get raped and fall apart)... and after that soemeone always gets a camp up and theres more downtime.

Faction missions actaully do seem to be easier money, although they pay less than the mob ones, which can be balanced out by the fact that the NPCs dont respawn. But please enlighten me on the dizzy.... you can't suppress fire/dizzy any more, that was fixed 4 months ago. You have to dizzy and hope that they change their own posture, which you can't count on.

And are you sure about the E11? I dont see anyone using them. It does less damage, so you will get less damage in during the 3 shots you have before it aggroes. Those first 3 shots are crucial (for me) I have my focus at 750 btw.

If you're soloing, I wouldn't recommend the E-11, unless you are yo-yo'ing (old trick, bleedstack, then warning shot on aggro, then hs2, hs2, warning shot till it runs.. repeat till mob dead.) For solo, use a damage sliced t-21, w/ power up. Mine was 515 damage, and I could do up to 6k before aggro if I got lucky. In groups however, it is a life saver for special spamming. You can outdamage must classes with it, spamming flurry1/flushing1 or the odd flushing2 if situation allows. But since you are xxx3, a T-21 might be the better choice for auto-attacking, with the e-11 for spamming. Once again, go DAMAGE slice on the T-21, with the big ap bonus, will earn you 1500 xp minimum just auto-attacking. Lead in with a flushing 2, and you'll do far better than the group.

Ditching my old laser for my E-11 was the best choice I made in rifle leveling. If you aren't spamming, use a Damage sliced, maybe a speed sliced T-21.

Maybe I just got lucky with my groups, as I was making HUGE money. We didn't need to camp due to my master doc status, so that helped the down time. I've done enrageds with 5 people in the group, un-buffed, and had a blast doin it. I made about 75k-100k per hour, and didn't even notice till I left the planet.

Bout the NPC's, dizzy them at 55-64m, and they will prone almost everytime. Then, either flushing shot them (1/2), or run away. They'll try to chase and KD themselves.
