Hmm, your chassis are about 5cpu.

You could be charging 10CPU (if you on bloodfin the overpriced resource capital of the galaxys )

50k,150k,300k havent goten above that because I do not grind.


Like I said all my costomers are happy, and returning and advertizing for me even


I dont really use the vendor tho, that might be why they dont mind the price. The human contact and fresh items means you can charge more I guess

DUDE!!! start production and get master as you make inventory. For chasis the extra 2 points from the master box don't really make a diffrence. I started production at 4/4/4/3. I wish I had started much sooner because the diffrence is minimal and people will buy just about ANYTHING right now. Thats not to say screw your customers with junk but price accordingly.

Yeah...good point. Fact is, I blew through most of my XP (and Resources) last night in a half-asleep haze as I played waaaaay too late. Today I have guildies looking for a decent entry-level ride, so by the time I build them all up chassis and all the fixins I'll have that last 100kXP before I know it. Not the meantion the Deathtrap I'm flying right now could use replacing......Scyk Lt Fighter/No Shields + Dantooine System = Quick Death


yeah, yeah, I know...but it was so Pretty!

Reponse:

Another one of these "waaah" kind of complaints. If (insert resource here) is expensive go mine your own! SOE gave you 10 lots for a reason. Stop hording all your meatlump loot drops in your 5 completely useless houses and run a harvester or two. Any crafter worth his salt will run harvesters to pick up needed materials and then supplement the hardto find stuff from a vendor.




I only have 8 lots??? Am I missing something?


I could realy use the extra two is there something I need to do or should I write a CSR ticket?

Oh, and for the record, the flash speeder? Looks like a flattened frog, drives like everything else, and doesn't make you cool. Props on the pre-order, but in the end, who really cares if your hooptie looks different? It's not like you can do anything but hit houses with it.

With the exception of the Small Nabooian (Style 2) aka, the little Round one, all Small houses use 2 Lots. (Small Nabooian Style 2 uses only 1 and holds only 75)


Oh, and if you want to use the Sorosub Yacht (Vet Reward) it will need 1 Lot (and will hold 75 items)

It works great.
Its not gouging and its not selling for pennys.
Its a great pricing schem, got several customers (just about all come back) and I craft everything for them right infront of them.
Exept chassis, those go on vendor.





We are at 9CPU right now as a standard. Same as 10 essentially for chassis. And interestingly enough 20CPU for components.

I got a sneaking suspicion that the Ship Market could be anyone's guess a couple/few weeks from now...diehards will remain and dabblers will lose interest. Then we can work to balance things out. Still, with all the Manual work, I don't think folks are gonna get stuff as cheap as things end up with Archie.

I had a thread on Naritus asking what people are willing to pay. Since then, I've put up my chassis for 8 cpu but there are some people out there without a good price scheme that's rocking the boat hard because of people's expectations. I'm not getting into putting player crafted parts on my vendor until factories are -fully- fixed though.


Ships go up 6k, 15k, 30k, 60k and 80k in total resources outside of Ace ships. I mean, back during hologrind, if you could find someone with the 20k lok wild wheat and 20k tat fiberplast, you'd pay no less than 5 cpu. Now we've got these ships that last as long as you don't die horribly and prices seem inflated to people.

Pricing schemes are overrated IMO. Just because your scheme says you should sell it for X doesn't mean someone will buy it. You'd be surprised at how screwy your customers are.
