For us to all be geared up and ready to go, we'll need all the artisan master professions. Here are the list of professions most in need (if they currently have someone doing that, I've listed their names by them).
- Architect (Japeth)
- Armorsmith
- Droid Engineer (Mars) [edit]
- Weaponsmith (Kadann)
Right now, we'll need one per profession. If you feel you must do one of the professions someone is already doing. By all means, do it. The more people we have doing certain professions, the more we can produce.
From what we produce, we'll be able to sell to all the people out there. For this, we'll need merchants and at least one vendor.
From playing the game, do you all know of where you want our base located? I'd like to hear everyone's suggestions. This would be where we'll set up our vendor, crafting stations, etc.
If we are all working together, we'll be able to produce tons of cash. From that, we'll be able to make and buy more things. Maybe hire out some projects if we don't have the resources at the time. But when vehicles and space combat come out, we'll want to have plenty of cash to get everyone some sort of traveling device. Not sure how they are going to do that as of yet...but maybe we'll be able to create those devices as well. If that is the case, we'll need professionals to do that as well. But the main thing we need cash for is maintenance costs. Structures cost quite a bit to maintain. Expecially harvestors and factories. Not sure what everything else costs. But I know a guild costs something like 10K a day to maintain...which isn't bad if there are lots of people helping.

Also, if you are wanting to be one of the melee professions...with those, you usually get a lot of cash by killing things and/or running missions. Since we'll have all the artisan professions covered, you wouldn't need to buy any of your gear, so you could help out by providing money for the maintenance costs of the buildings.
Granted, the selling of our products will also produce money, but until we get a steady stream of income from this, we'll most likely always be short on money. -----------------------

You can go ahead and mark me down as Droid Engineer although it will take sometime before I climb up the artisan tree to it.
As for base locations, we will need to be located on a planet with a sizable population to provide a maximum amount to consumers. But with a base at this location, there will be a competition for land, etc. -----------------------

There will also be more lag in these locations. There isn't too much lag, but when you get around the crafting locations in the starter towns, there gets to be noticible lag. Also, many of the people who could afford to buy elite products would be able to afford to travel to different locations in order to buy them. Just something else to think about. -----------------------

You bring up some good points so I would recommend Dantooine as the location of our base. I figure it would be less populated, hence less lag, and less wild, as Endor and Dathomir are. -----------------------

Something to consider, there are 4 types of guild halls, 3 are planet specific.
The planet specific halls are less resource intensive to build than the generic one. Really though, I suppose when you're talking about THAT many resouces, the difference is pretty minimal...
Also, combat professionals! Pick up novice scout! There is no reason not to pay the 100credits to do this! You can be harvesting hide and bone and handing that off to the artisans. You may not ever get any more skills in the scout tree, but for now, do that much at least, it'd be an INSANELY large help to all of us.
REMEMBER: You can freely sacrifice skills you've gained for no cost other than the time you've invested in them and get your skill points back for other things. -----------------------

Whatever is cheapest to maintain would probably be the best. I'm not sure what that is, but will try to look around and see if I can find out. If anyone knows, let us all know. -----------------------
