half teasing

[soundless]

like everyone being able to tailor (but not as well as artisans...and trackers, sorta)

like everyone being able to whittle (once again, as above)

like every other crafting skillset...

...why can't everyone craft gadgets, but not as well as techs?

yes, i'm being a butthead. but only half a butthead. i'm wondering what makes gadgets such a seperate thing that noone with electronics training can manage, meanwhile everyone can whittle/tailor/craft armor/etc.

i don't know. what with this whole "artisans are obsolete" thing going on (which, naturally, i'm not thrilled over), and the whole arguement that everyone should be able to choose what they want to star in when it comes to making stuff, why is this making stuff system limited to one group of people?

I agree. With all this talk of the eradication of the Artisan profession, I think that making gadgets should be open to all. Of course, only Techs would be able to make some of the high end stuff.

I concur.

I'd like to preface this by saying I'm honestly not trying to be "gimme-gimme" here.

Anyway, I always thought of restoring parts and figuring out how to put them together into some sort of working electronic device was more specific than just whittling something or sewing it together. Maybe it's just not as intuitive as sculpting etc.?

Ultimately I'm not sure there can be a reason, same as there really is no reason why only Artisans can paint with ishaik(?) or weave. Of course, if you're going to nix the profession..well..why can't everyone just repair medical devices, too?

sidenote: don't get me wrong. i am beyond thrilled that techs are getting something to make people go to them.

but, being a butthead that i am, i also have to ask the questions of why they get a creation system that is limited only to them, yet non artisans can do everything i can, just not with the amount of awesome detail that valla has given us in the past month (which i completely adore, naturally!).

So one could naturally argue that anyone with some electronics\crafting etc. would be able to make simple gadgets, but the really complex items would be limited to Techs.

To say nothing of the fact that weaving is just a sub-system within the tailoring system. You don't have to weave in order to participate in tailoring. With "Gadgeting", I'd assume you'd have to build individual components.. which would require you to be a technician at this point.

I don't know how to explain tattoos being Artisan-only, though. Unless there's some kind of special technique that requires special training. Like henna, but even that can be learned somewhat.

I don't really care about making a robot; from what I know of the droids, you don't need skill to have one do stuff, you just command it to do stuff and it ignores you if you don't own it. So basically, I just want to buy one to order around, or, taking an example from how lots of people felt about the Trooper stuff being available to people with an inside connection, have a tech buy one for me.

Longest post ever devoted to a point I already conceded..while ignoring my counterpoint. Like I said, if Artisans no longer exist and everyone can do everything, of course everyone should make gadgets. Yes, we have the wonderful example of how everyone repairs cybergear. But what keeps you from repairing minor damage in comms and medical devices? Why can't you install even the simplest chips?

I guess I'm just not that deep a thinker; I've never once questioned why anything was limited to one profession. I just figure that's the way the developer meant for it to be.
