Scout Archive

Hi folks,

I've been playing SWG about a month now, and I've loved being a scout since Day 1. I've read and used Delta/Brisc's excellent Scouting Guides quite a bit, but I've run across two things I haven't seen mentioned yet:

1) I'm aware of the trapping bug where your last trap in a stack fails to go off. However, I seem to be having a problem where my char will toss two traps instead of one (toss, pause a few seconds, toss same trap again), even though I only hit the toolbar button once. This doesn't always happen (like maybe 1 in 20 tosses), but will often happen several times in a row. I'm not sure what conditions the problem exactly... anyone else experienced this?

2) I was thinking about using a factory to make myself crates of traps (rather than carrying around 8-10 individual ones at a time, I could bring 3 or 4 crates). I'm also a Master Artisan, so I've got the basics of crafting down, but I wasn't sure what kind of factory I would need for this, and how much it might cost to buy & operate. Anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks for any help you can give me!

Self,

I'm not sure about the first one - that could be lag, or it could just bea part of the "trap not leaving the queue" bug we also know about.

For traps, using a General/weapons factory. That'll be what you can make 'em in.

Brisc,

Thanks. I went back and looked at the "state of the profession" post, and I'm guessing that the bug I'm experiencing has to do with the trap queueing (sp?) problem. I find that if I clear my combat queue after tossing one, I don't end up double-tossing (usually...).
