Should I be a Smuggler/Weaponsmith/Merchant or a Artistian/Weaponsmith/Merchant?
I want to have some combat skills so im not helpless and my vehicles dont seem to ever sell

I guess it pretty much boils down to if you want to slice your own weapons or not. If you don't care about selling sliced weapons (or you can live with hiring someone to slice them for you), then there are better professions to pick up for combat skills. Low blow and Last Ditch are nice abilities, but Smugglers have no accuracy or speed modifiers and receive no defense modifiers (other than Ranged and Melee damage mitigation 1).
My template used to be Master Smuggler, Master Weaponsmith and a smattering of Merchant (enough to get Advertising 3 I think, and some Management). I've since moved merchant over to my alt, and now have Master Smuggler, Master Weapons, a smattering of Pistoleer and I'm working on the FS crafting branches.
Hope this helps.

Yup, it's really your decision. I am WS/Rifleman/Merchant and luckily have a friend to slice for me. If I didn't, I or my alt would be Master Smuggler. WS needs only a couple things from MA, and I usually get a guildie to make a schematic and i run full runs of 1000 of these and use them until I run out.

It is really up to you. For example me I am Master Artisan/ Master Weaponsmith/ Master Merchant/ and Architect 3/4/4/1. Then my alt is a Master Smuggler / Master Commando. So it is totally up to you. If you have an alt it is easier to decide what to do rather than only having 1 toon to play with.

You also need to take into consideration how much merchant you need. If you need a lot of space, you may not have enough skill points and may have to drop some skills at some point. And as unfortunate as it is, Alts do make ones life easier. My alt is soon going to be TKM, Master Smuggler, and a little bit of pistol and medic.
