My current pricing for your info;


Selling deeds at

Light Ties for 25k

Ties for 45k

Tie/In for 150k

Components are;

5k mk1

10k mk2

30k mk3

Subcomponents I add 50% markup or so


Buying loot components for 1k per tier. Selling retro engineered for 10k per tier.

I use good to excellent resources for all my stuff so have no worries about selling them. Also I actually experiment each one rather than macro them. Biggest hurdle is resources at moment.

Have a small store on Farstar, Tatooine,Mos Lowlands, Just south of Shuttle port. 'Verniers Ship and Droid store'.






Any advice on getting consistent good experimentation? I am not a crafter by nature, but I am enjoying this profession.





Use top crafting tools and stations in a Research City. Eat cake to provide crafting bonus on big ships.





Thanks!

I sold off all my grinding by-product at 1.5 cpu just to get it out the door, and get people excited. Also gave away quite a few schematics just for the hell of it.


Now that the grind is over and my grind stock is virtually gone,I have gone to a 5cpu pricing system for chassis. My components vary from 5-15cpu, all depends on the item and what it requires... I'm not making Tier 1 parts, I tell the customer to just go get the free ship and grind it out, only takes like half an hour to an hour to do. Right now stocking Tier 2 and Tier 3 parts... which range in price from 3500 - 25k. Paint kits 2k, texture kits 1k... crate of 5 proton I missile packs for 6k, crate of 5 siesmic I packs for 12500.


Pretty much my pricing model so far.

simple answer: you bet I am. the 1/0/0/0 level ships are selling faster than I can grind them. Of course, I grinded a lot of the larger ships to get moving faster and those aren't selling as fast. But yes, I have only practiced on 3 ships, and that was because I was inches away from master shipwright and almost out of resources...

Probably 50/50. Put some up on my vendor, keep grinding, practiced the ones with bad experimentation, built those with great/amazings. As things started selling I built more of those to keep a reasonable stock on hand. Figure I sold 40 or so Chassis first day or so. Mostly Tier 1 Y-Wings and Dunelizards. Few people stocked up on a Z95 through Longprobe on one trip. I've been pricing from 5-3 cpu depending on resources and experimentation outcomes.
