Hey im a master shipwright and i have a problem. It seems sometimes as i cruise along in my speeder, not even stopping, everyonce in awhile i got shot and die. I also get raped by little tiny creatures who i should be able to kick, when i collect from my harvs. i was wondering whats a good side combat profession to pick up ? swordsman ? pikeman ? pistol ?
i dont have any combat experience so thats why im asking, thx.

I like pikeman for combat. I like using the lances and pikes. Decent specials even now. Gotta get close though. No combat on my shipwright, but I can dance!

Nah, I use /distract on them and they look away, then I burst run, well not really, but that would be a nice use for that lighting effect no?

With the CU if you can get to level 80 then melee with the 3500hp's would be good but for me I'm a master artisan & master shipwright which leaves enough points for 1 combat profession with 4 points left over.
I'm going for ranged profession which will get me level 54 and 2460 hp's. I've picked pistoleer for the ability to root and run (stopping shot). Not sure if carbines or rifles with longer rangers would be better.

My solution was to stay CL1 (Master Shipwright/Droid Engineer/Artisan, with a side of merchant) and use a "bodyguard" when I need to survey/harvest. If I'm grouped with a CL80 player, even if they are on a different planet, I get treated as CL80 for con purposes, and all but the most fearsome critters can't do much more than nibble my bum while I take care of business. I still only have 1000 health and no armor, but at least I don't need to fear being one-shot incapped under normal circumstances.

Get into a good guild.
Tonight I got caught with my fur down on Lok. Placed 10 harvestors before the server spawns generated. LOL what a mess. I was boxed into the harvestor pattern with no hope of escape. Put a cry for help out to the guild on teamspeak and 8 showed to rescue my poor level 1 crafter butt. They then turned the whole thing into a Kimo hunt. (I spotted some on my way in and kepta waypoint fo them, lol). So that's the best advise I can give, take a shot and hope you don't get burned. If you do, call for reinforcements, lol.

Well... not so much combat profession, but I hear the scout exploration line that gives /maskscent can work pretty well from things chewing on you as you pass by. Also try finding a group of combat people to join, supposedly you take on the combat level of the group and they are changing it so things that con grey won't even aggro even if they are red, so except the big and nasties that should keep you alive... maybe.
