Sales this week have slowed.. I was averaging 2.5 mill a day, now Im down to about half that.. Things normally slow down after an update, and pick up again after a couple weeks.. I havent checked todays sales cause I'm away from home till tomorrow.
I noticed the same thing.. After updates, things do slow down.

Yeah, I'm selling components. Mostly RE stuff that I put together looking for the KSE fragments. But yeah, I'm going to have to work a little more on missiles and countermeasures.
Just some advice on selling RE components, what I do is only sell stuff that is better than what I can craft and then tell people that. Still keep a full line of everything, even teh stuff that is commonly better as loot. This just shows people that you are being honest with them.

Things have been a little slower I guess, it's cool with me though, gives me more time to play around. If you guys want to know a great way to make some sales and friends at the same time, organize groups for the master mission. As a shipwright you most deffinately meet alot of people who need to do it. I'm a master Freelance pilot as well too, and what happens after your group makes master, oh come back to my store and we can get you all setup with your master level ships. Last time i did this sold 5 master chassi's and alot of components for them, plus it's pretty fun too.

I specialize in weapons, launchersand missles because there are no good loots to cover this area. Everything else we can make sucks compared to the looted items. I sell a lot of missles and launchers every day, including countermeasures.

My, god, missles sell like crazy. I took down my munitions vendor and am just selling novice packs on the Bazaar now at 30 CPU and I still can't keep up. We're talking about really low damage stuff here. I sell the launchers at 6K and the missle packs at 3k and they are gobbled up. Just finished the chassis line and got armaments up to tier 2. Once I finish the armaments line I plan on re-opening my munitions vendor with quality missles and launchers, but continue to put novice launchers and packs on the bazaar as advertising. This is definitely where the money is.

Bad news is that when people master Pilot and buy their initial ships, not much to do in space. Most of my customers done and on the ground. May be some space PVP time to time. Most sales are R'dENg to improve their ship, or new customers.
Will be intersting to see what will happen in couple months, everyone back on the ground ...??? I will take the opportunity to go up myself and start flying.

Well, going from 20-40million a day to 2-5mil a day is frustrating to say the least. Sales are definately way down....
The number of people I find using 50-90% loot for parts is FAR more than I expected. I'd like to see a serious drop in loot drop rates.
Firespray disks are now near non-existant, so the main source of NICE income is all but gone and driving customers who want them mad. I guess this will drive the Firespray blueprint prices back up, but thats not a consolation.
I think our correspondant needs to start putting some ideas together from the forum and get some adjustments pushed thru, or we're just going to be expensive architects with no customers.....

Selling aint a problem.
Spenting all that wasted time crafting is my problem.

I don't sell much.. but I never did. But it isn't a problem at all. I had a customer who ordered two x-wings with a complete set of level 7 components (twice). So I made nearly a million with his order. The good thing is, that he was satisfied and that he will spread the word about my shop. I can't think of a better commercial, than that.
The next positiv things is, that I renamed my shop. There were too many '[put in name] shipyards' around Coronet. When I used that name for my shop, I thought it would have been a good idea. Now its called 'M&M's deepspace adventures'. I'm sure, that this name will be kept in mind much better than the millionth '[put in name] shipyard'.
I'm also hoping that my sales will raise after my second account (the second M in my shop name) is master Droid Engineer.
cheers
