Can you still milk Fambaa's? I nearly laughed my head off when I first opened the radial menu and saw Milk as an option on one...the visual image alone...

Yeah, I know, it's really quite silly that fambaa, sharnaffs, and pikets can be milked when they're all so obviously reptillian. Bols and rontos too.
But man, they're the producers of milk. I often get more than 100 units of fambaa, and last week, when Naboo wild was pretty decent, it was sweet.
If you can just get them to KRIFFING STAND STILL!

Ah, they didn't give that much milk when I first found that out...
I just had a visual of 4 scouts jumping up and grabbing teats, one at a time, while a third keeps pushing the big pail along underneath...
You'd have to be in my mind I guess...though I wouldn't suggest it. Its dark in here.

careful, now rather than decaying and dieing off it'll suck cash from your bank until you're broke if you don't take it down manually. Of-course you can still just ignore the warning that you won't get your deed back and let it get destroyed.

Another way to make money?
Go up, young man! Way up! Into the icy reaches of space.
I'm talkin' "Jump to Lightspeed". I'm talkin' rocket jockey.
If you've played and enjoyed space flight/combat sims before, JTL is for you. Besides being a heckuva lot of fun blowin' stuff up, you can make quite a piece of change as you advance.
Missions pay.
Looted components pay.
Kills will give you credit chips that you can trade in for cash.
And this is a money-maker that is available to every class and race. The only requirement is that you own the expansion.
As an example of where it can lead, I'm a master Corsec pilot, and I routinely run an escort duty mission out of Dantooine. The mission takes about 15 or 20 minutes to complete. It pays 5k credit every time you complete it, then resets so you can run it as many times as you want. Looted components usually net me another 20-40k credits per run. Credit chips add another 25-30k credits per run. So for not more than 20 minutes of my time, I stand to make 50-75k credits.
Space can be almost like printing up your own money!

Yeah, thats why I suggest re-deeding. That new way of just sucking credits from you, is that in yet?

Look for the trade forums or even better, in game. There will usually be AFK people letting everyone know what they want.

I found a chef on Intrepid that was buying all milk regardless of stats for 40cpu. The first day I harvested 4k of wild milk. Second day I harvest 3k. Made 280k for a couple of hours a work each day. Then took that money and reinvested it in some BER 13 harvesters and placed them on some good resource spots. Selling all those resources for 5 or 6cpu once the hoppers get full.
My advice to any new/current scout that is looking for a way to make money. It is kind of discouraging when you go to swgcraft.com and see that the creature resources are not that good. The second place you should always look is in your galaxy trade forum. You can always find someone who is paying good money for some kind of resource.
Another trick I use since I have novice medic, is to drop it and take up novice artisan that way you can survey from your vehicle and find good resource concentrations if someone on the galaxy trade forum is looking for a particular resource. Once you have found the resource and placed your harverster drop artisan and pick back up novice medic and go back to hunting.

best advice:
check your galaxy's trade forums.
resources shift, and people are usually looking for meat, hide, bone, or milk.
you see something go hot enough, get grouped. with Rangers now providing better bonuses, once you get past scout, you'll have NO problem earning money...

Hmmm I don't know if this is true on all servers, but 80% of the time that I see someone spaming for a resource, there is someone else paying more for it. I think the reason they are spaming for the stuff is they can't find regular hunters do to the fact they are under paying.
Do and advanced search on just your servers trade forum for the resources name.
