Well.. I was standing in front of Coronets Starport advertising for my freshly openend Shipyard.. A rebel pilot was shouting around the place, if someone could reverse engineer level 3 components..
I told him, that I can but that I charge 6k for it (2K for level one components + 2k for each level higher)..
'No problem' he answered me. We went into the starport so we were able to trade and I was able to craft another analyzer.. he gave me three engines (kryat I guess), I dropped them into my analyzer and hit the button.
Out came two parts... the new reveres engineered reactor and a disk. I knew that this disk only can be one of eight disk for the firespray. So I watch it a bit closer.. and I was right..

For a short moment.. well about 1/100000000 of a second, I was to keep it.. but than I explained that pilot about those disk. I explained the whole story and what it could mean to him. After my long explanation I traded with him. The reactor AND the disk.. for 6k.
And I told him once more to keep those disks until he has all eight of them. Then he shall look out for a SW of his trust to get his firespray. He was more than happy.

Some may call me stupid now and other will call me honorable. I say, that was the best thing I ever did, since I play that game. No, don't smile about me. I realy feel damn good that I was honest to him. He did't even knew, that the firespray only can be built with a complete set of those disk. I was still honest and explained it to him in details.

I feel good but I still haven't sold one ship blueprint *sigh*

If your stupid then so am I.

I did the same thing today but I did offer to buy the part because it was I did not have, he asked me if I had 2 of 1 type of disk. He traded me it for 1 I had 2 of.

Now if I can get 2 trhu 5 of 8 I could make some firesprays (after the patch)

and 5 more stars for you.

Lets say.. 35+

And again a big thank you to you all Shipwrighter is the first proffesion I really enjoy. I went through a lot of proffesion while I was holo grinding. And now I'm on my way to be a Jedi initiate. But I stopped it when I got JTL and started imediatly with Pilot and SW.
I believe that I can stick with it and becoming a real good and well skilled SW.

Also I'm happy that there are a lot of people out there which share the same honorability as I did. Kudos to you too.

cheers

Not stupid. Definately not stupid.

As a smuggler who opened locked containers in his youth, fully aware of the posibility of there being a million credit crystal inside and fully prepared to hand it over, I salute you.

Nice one - if that pilot realises just how much those fragments are worth, he'll come back and bring you all his business and his guild/friends too :-)

Hope you manage to get 8 fragments of your own soon !!

I see REing as a free service myself. I bring things to get REd, and in return for not using crafted loot, the shipwright gets a chance at a firespray schematic, in short we both win.

If the pilot is aware of this, this approach is ok, too.

And, Excalibur, Thanks for the story, and it is always nice to know, that I am not the only one 35+ on these boards .

Well.. for my believe.. I don't think that disk would belong to me.. Even the pilot isn't able to RE any looted components.. But I charge them, because I also need some resources for the analyzer tool.. And I need also time to analyze the component.. the rest of the time is a lot of consulting and answering question, which I really like to do.. that is why I'm charge them.. and on the other side.. he brings me, lets say three level three reactors for RE, and I give him one enhanced reactor back.. So he gets an advanced item back and I get a small amount of this enhanced item in form of credits
