Thread: What profession did you choose to accompany your shipwright?

Master SW, Master Smuggler, Novice Merchant, Artisan 4044
This is nearly identical to me. Master SW, Master Smuggler, Merchant 0003, Artisan 4042. Smuggler just makes sense with the SW profession. How else do you think I can keep rock bottom prices, I smuggle my parts...... oh wait, we don't smuggle yet. I guess I'm gonna have to crank up my prices again... hehe

I am currently Master Shipwright/Master Architect. I originally chose this combo because there are similar resources required and I thought it would simplify harvesting somewhat. While it has reduced the numberof different things I have to harvest, both require such large amounts of resources that now I feel the combo may not have been the best choice as I have a hard time keeping fully stocked in both areas. I have 25 harvs runnin full time, but maybe I should consider a static lot swap.
Anyway, I was just curious what combo most of you guys are running and what the advantages/disadvantages were. The one that seemed most obvious to switch to was Droid Engineer, but there seems to be a great deal of dissatisfaction with that proff.
*exploiter*
I love how people can come right out and state they're going to exploit the game.

Now do you consider it wrong if people let you use their lots on the same server?

I know what you're trying to get me to admit, but it won't work. This static lot trading is just another way for people to find their "I win" button. I run a busy SW business and I have *more* than enough resources to supplement my stock by using only my lots. And I've got to this point in less than 2 months. I've had to buy the occasional resource to get me by while I wait for the next decent shift of a resource, but I've never had to buy a resource of something I already had because I'm running out.
Wasn't baiting you into anything, it was a serious question. Ibuy all my crafting resources from miners, just don't have the will or want to look for spawns. Plus, it give other people a chance to make some money 
Currently I run 16 harvestor, 4 are from my toon and the other 12 are from friends who have quit and before they did, added me to their admin. 99.99% of the time it's only junk resources I sell for 1.5 cpu on avendor. The max I sell anything for is 3 cpu, and that's just for the ores. It's not an "I win" button, it's just something else to do for me. Pays for my simple habits....

Do you make anything with space resources?
I make lasers and ship attachments. I'm currently "trying" to stock up on roids for Pub 24, but it's going slow. I mine all my resources there too.
I didn't realize you can keep a harvestor running on a cancelled account. Interesting...
Let me put the record straight. If you grab a few lots from a friend, I don't do it, but I don't necessarily condemn it either. It's the people that proudly broadcast that they have 200+ static lots at their disposal and SOE doesn't do squat about it is what irritates me. The problem is where do you stop with what's ok and what's not ok. Because of these 200+ lot people, I just say that even one lot trade is an exploitation of the game because it's human nature to take a mile when they're only given a foot (translation for metric system: take a kilometer when they're only given a meter 
). Therefore, there shouldn't be a grey area. But that's just me. I tend to be a little overbearing when it comes to wanting equality for all of us. 
Yep, I have hravestor running from 3 different canceled accounts and have 2 storage houses the same way. Old guildmates and I just keep paying to keep it up. A part of me wishes they would come back and be happy thier stuff is still there. I offer room to any friends that want to store in the houses if they decide to quit too.
I've seen a lot of friends come and go in this game 
I was the last one of my friends to hop on the SWG train about a year ago. Many were here from the beginning. Now, EVERY single friend of mine that repeatedly told me to get in this game has cancelled. None of them have "really" tried the CU. They all quit because of Pre-CU which I almost followed them. I got tired and boredof soloing everything...

CL66 with Improved Force Aura...too bad I have no desire whatsoever to be a Jedi - I just refuse to piss away three complete lines, and it gives me rudimentary defensive capability.

Show me where it says this an exploit, please.I have read numerous posts on the trade forums requesting these and never seen anyone call it an exploit. If it is, I wont even consider it.
