Greetings fellow smithys,
As a general information gathering initiative, I would appreciate if those of you who are master weaponsmiths would answer the following questions. Thanks in advance.
1) How long have you been a master weaponsmith?
6-7 months, I don't remember exactly, but it was pre-forums for me.
2) In number of units, approximately how many weaponcrafting-related resources do you have in your stockpile?
Bank: 9.6 Million units
House: 7-10Million
3) If you have a harvester fleet (including your own lots, borrowed lots of friends/guild members, and any alternate character's you may have), what does it consist of? Please specify number of harvesters, type of harvester (personal, medium, heavy), and resource type (mineral, chemical, etc...)
16 lots for harvester placement (down from 20)
Harvester Fleet:
20 rate 13 Heavy Mineral Harvesters
10 rate 10-12 Heavy Mineral Harvesters (surplus given to new smiths as needed)
6 rate 13 Heavy Chem Harvesters
6 rate 13 Heavy Gas Harvesters
Emergency fleet: 4-14 lots if needed
4) How many factories do you have access to at a given time?
Main Factory Farm: 12 factories (new)
Auxiliary Farm: 4 factories (old store location still use occasionally but may let lapse soon)
5) How do you acquire power to run your harvesters/factories?
I buy roughly 280K units of Radioactive per week for roughly 300K credits, that averages out to be 450K or power. I stockpile excess, but once a week top all currently emplaced harvesters/factories up to 50K power and 50K maint. This means that all of the harvester fleet that's not currently emplaced tend to currently carry about 2 weeks of power and maint which makes them ideal for lending out in 'emergency' situations.
That's all.

1) How long have you been a master weaponsmith?
Approximately two months.
2) In number of units, approximately how many weaponcrafting-related resources do you have in your stockpile?
One million, give or take a hundred thousand or so.
3) If you have a harvester fleet (including your own lots, borrowed lots of friends/guild members, and any alternate character's you may have), what does it consist of? Please specify number of harvesters, type of harvester (personal, medium, heavy), and resource type (mineral, chemical, etc...)
I use only my own lots. I own four medium mineral harvesters, one medium gas harvester, one fusion generator, and a limitless supply of my own personal harvesters, which I rotate between and redeed as different resources shift in.
4) How many factories do you have access to at a given time?
One.
5) How do you acquire power to run your harvesters/factories?
My single fusion generator can pull up enough power in one week to run all my other buildings for about a month.

A nostalgic bump, and to let newer MWS's have the opportunity to chime in and see what the profession is like.

4. 2 or 3
5. Harvest my own power using a BER 10 Fusion Reactor.

Wow I've got a long way to go in the resource dept. I'm close to becoming master (thanks to Heavy Warheads) I've been MA for about 3+ months now probably have only 1-2 mill in resources (probably 500k are WS specific). Have total of 15 useable lots, recently upgraded most of my personals to mediums.Only haveone equip factory.

Don't worry too much about it. We all started at the same level. In time, persistence pays off.
