Would it not be possible to place some repair shops on some planets that would fix a given item(eq or weapon) for credits?

That takes away the joy of an engineering or someone with the skill of doing it!

You could always make a race that has the ability to repair and set up a shop on Ryloth or Kashyyyk or one of the other worlds where repair would be big business. Charge a flat rate of one hundred grand for complete repair of all items on the spot. Yea you’d be sitting on a planet but its actually one of the few real ‘jobs’ in game.

If engineers live and die by just repair armor/weapon you’re doing something wrong

Kebron has the right of it. Those with low engineering need to start being charged for their valuable service usage.

I have an arkanian that sorta did that, I also did back street deals though. It would take a lot of patience to sit in one spot all day long though.

Guys I understand your worries, they have merit too. This would of course limit some possible RP opportunities for both the characters and the engineers that would fix them. However I still think it’s a good idea. What could be done about it?
Price for repairing an item would be quite high so that if not forced people would go to an engineer to have it fixed. (20k maybe?) By high I of course did not mean unrealistically high.

Not really, as it is certain… stuff… comes from Ryloth. So make a wookiee combatant, they can repair everything and survive lyleks. Set up shop selling hunted supplies and repairing equipment. You’d quickly become known by all the hunters as well as the military organizations you’d be filthy rich from Carapace gear, repair costs, tentacle and head sales. I really can’t think of a downside, and if you really wanted to get in on the backstreet dealing refine spice and sell it out of a smugglers pouch. The possibilities are endless, not everyone has to be the next DLotS some people are just everyday people with their own petty motivations. Half the fun of RP is being that joe blow and getting pulled into wildly ridiculous adventures.

Kebron I’m a bit lost, do you mean you will sit on Ryloth and offer anyone a complete repair for the price of 100,000 credits? Or do you mean to have it coded somehow? My suggestion was more towards an NPC repair shop.

:/ Having vendors on each planet that can repair armor/weapons, and add an element to the game is good adds to that planet’s money supply instead of waiting 3 hours for a low level engineer skill

No, I’m saying there are already capabilities for what you are talking about without adding a new code that lets people bipass their level shortfalls. Most of the races with those issues are ones like Talz and Whiphid which have a specific RP reason for not being able to do complicated repairs on the fly. It should be easy enough to drone your gear to an engineer or what have you. There’s loads of possibilities.
