SWG Fun

I picked up Advertising III in SWG the other day, figuring that having my shop on the map might help a little bit. Little did I expect to make 6 sales (mostly cheap furniture) in 2 days, let alone get myself mail from happy customers! I logged in this afternoon, to find two people in my shop buying furniture. I filled a special order, and they are advertising me to their guild because they liked my store/stuff. Woot.


I spent an hour or two stocking up (using my newfound profits), and now have a variety of houses, generators, furniture and lighting. Very nifty. Hopefully, it'll sell as quickly as my first batch!


Afterwards, I got the crazy idea to go Overt and attack (NPC) rebels around Anchorhead, Tatooine. My assult went really well for a while, taking down lots of rebels, a couple of camps, some crazed hermits, and even a rebel Leiutenant General. Then I ventured too close to town by accident, and a red dot started to head at me, at great speed. Faster than my burst run (he was burst running, too!). A (player) master combat medic was inbound! Getting away wasn't working too well, so I kneecap-shotted him a couple of times. That bought be a little time, and I pulled out my speederbike - just as his mind poison hit me. Zoop - from full mind to none, but not incapacitated (you can't get incapped from poison, just drained). I got on my bike and jetted out - amazingly enough, still alive. Re-reading my combat logs, I hit him for maybe 300 points total - and he did over 1,000 to me. Owie.


I headed back to Mos Eisley, and went started the timer back to Covert. I then caught a shuttle to Theed, normally very safe for Imperials - only to walk into the middle of a raid! A crazed wookie squad leader named Longhorn and three rebels were gunning down Imperials left, right and center. I ran for it - they headshotted me, I died. Oops.


Despite this, I did manage to make a good 4,000 off of my raid. Even with the cloning costs, and my 400 credit tip to the medic who healed me up afterwards, that's a profitable run!
