I have given this some more thought.. I want factory support, but part of me says no.. I have most of the day to play this game, so I can out craft anyone in my neighborhood. I can produce a few hundred items per day, by myself. The shops aroundme cant keep up. Factories would allow to have more time for myself, but, it would allow my neighbors to make more products, thus truly competingwith me...lol..

The only beef I have about no factory support is storage. I do not mind hand crafting but let me put them in a crate. My shop is not where I craft and I have to make a number of trips to restock because of the inventory requirement.
This is one of my reasons for wanting factory support. At least add armor to it...... I would be happy if they added armor to factory support and left the rest alone.

Once again, people are using armor way to much because a lack of understanding of what they could do with their ships. If you are always making armor, you might want to start educating some pilots on the abilities of shields. If they are trying to solo every tier 4 mission, well, they are going to be frustrated no matter what and need friends to help and realize, they are just causing themselves more money and down time.
The reason for factory support to me, IMO, is that there is not enough info on what pilots really could use in there ships and way to many thinking the wrong way. If you want factory runs only on armor, there is something wrong. Trust me, i rarely have to repair my armor and it take on a lot solo, and many of times got close to being shot down, but i am learning how to build my ship to be almost perfect for me.
On other thing that bothers me is that there are way to many crafters that think or feel that they have to constantly supply the server. You are not resposible for that. Take a lesson from armorsmiths. When they run dry on their vendor faster than they can stock, they raise the price to calm the sales down so they can meet the demand with their limited supply. No where am i saying to price gouge, but saying, don't kill yourself and burn out because everything you throw on the vendor sales. You might also being bought out by another SW who turns around and resales your stuff at a higher price too.
So, if your excuse is that you can't keep your vendor stocked is why you need factories is not a valid excuse, you might be just the lowest priced SW so of course you will be always sold out. We do not need to be like the other crafting professions, we just need to learn what are profession can do first. And we are no where near our true potential.
